They were shopping for clothes, napping in a dorm lounge, playing golf. And somebody called the police. They were guests at a community pool, and one woman called the police, threatened them, even hit one of them. The common thread in all these stories: white people calling the cops on black people just living their lives. Sadly, its nothing new. Were just suddenly seeing it on all those videos gone viral.

“The common thread in all these stories: white people calling the cops on black people just living their lives.”
Well, when you specifically pick a set of criteria, and then collect stories that meet that criteria, it is not a surprise when your chosen criteria is a “common thread”
What I want to know is — how many times are the police called to investigate white people? If a white person made a video about getting “harassed” by police because some other white person called the cops on them, nobody would care.
Hope you didn’t let the misspelling make you miss my point.
Absolutely untrue.
The adult woman was pimping out her daughter and other young black females, and was at the pool to drum up business.
Why do leftists lie so blatantly?
With an estimated 90% of all violent crime in America perpetrated by black people, common sense says you should call the police on black people early and often.
My family’s safety is more important than a black person’s feelings.
Allow me to play devil's advocate and point out that one punch from that criminal could have ended your life.
My Lord, these people are deranged.
If you just read their examples - like the two black men in a Starbucks who were just waiting for a friend - it is like they live in an offended-tinged world.
The story of the black guy with a white girlfriend in his car getting asked if she was okay by a security guard at a gate, for instance. Details are missing. Was she dressed up and he dressed like a banger? Was she maybe crying? Had they been arguing and her body language was negative? All the stuff that would have led a security guard to inquire about her well being was missing from the story. Now maybe, just maybe, it was a racist pig of a security guard that just hated seeing black men with white women, but I really doubt it.
I'll play devil's advocate myself and point out the obvious.
You weren't there and don't know what you are talking about.
I was there and your advice is way over the top in response to what occurred.
At 70 years old, I don't need your knee-jerk advice on carrying a gun on my morning walk just in case I have to shoot some black criminal. That is ridiculous.
I live on a farm in a sparsely populated area, not the big city. Black crime where I live is close to non-existent. I've lived here for a decade and this is the first time something like this has ever happened to me. It is not a regular occurrence.
I support the 2nd Amendment and own guns. But I don't get up everyday fearing for my life and go out the door packing because of your fears.
Have a nice day dreaming about calling the police on every black you see and shooting them to save your family.
conclusion: many of these instances blacks brought it on themselves, disobeyed rules etc.
Many blacks, certain other minorities and entitlement receivers think rules just dont apply to them, and when confronted with rules get angry, combative and nasty. Time for that to stop.
