“A suspicious black man.” She’s a sweet black girl, wtf!
LilacDoe and I it was a black man he would’ve got arrested until he was proven to be a student there luckily it was a misunderstanding and the employee should be fired
Even if it was a black man what law would he have broken? Any body can call the cops on any body but what makes her suspicious is being black in a white environment that's called racism.
LilacDoe yea n cute too
Coulda fooled me.
fr she’s clearly a woman

That is smart

I'm actually thinking of getting a dog. I'm tired of people.

Anyone who makes a false accusation should be charged with a felony. Lying in and out of court should be felonious.
yh no one should ever go through this. heartbreaking
I agree. The cops could have been saving a life elsewhere, but instead they were called for this. This is not right.
Can't the cops just arrest the caller on the spot for "public disturbance"?
Better safe then sorry
There are laws already in place against lying under oath in court.
My daughter graduated from Smith, she told me the same thing. The professor discriminated against my daughter, yelled, and was very mean to my daughter. After 4 years at Smith College, my daughter ripped her diploma in front of me. I felt so sad, I should do something when something happened to her.
@Jack Dorsey Yes Jack but it's not anymore. Since my daughter was attending at Smith, 3 Students suicided.
But this woman has been shown to have been lying. So... if your daughter tells you that the same thing happened to her....well....er....
@@MrMatthewhg My daughter never lies. She was suffered. She starts all over again and she is now a doctor.
no, she never lied... Think about it yourself they fired the janitor then 2yrs later some article came out that the janitor was instructed to chase anyone that comes near the restricted area. So why fire him in the first place? That makes no sense at all
@@ahmedbingha2823 She not only lied, she posted personal information about the people she lied about online and they were all attacked (including a janitor who wasn't working the day in question) and received death threats. Research before you make anymore ignorant comments. Assuming you aren't a child, you need to start acting like an adult and not swallowing anything that's shoved in your face.
Poor girl, she doesn’t seem like she would hurt a fly. Shame on the person who called the police.
I know right? She looks so frail and sweet and someone really thought she would hurt them?
Unfortunately there is disgusting people around the world. We have to be strong and not let vile people bring us down. It is so sad to hear that this happened to this innocent girl.
*J T hope fully it’s not the school Karen’s children went to 🥶*
The only painful thing is her damn voice.
Even if she looked suspect, She shouldnt have had the cops called on her unless she Did something wrong
She must feel so uncomfortable on that campus.
trem jim I see you a racist trolling in the comment section. I really don't know how stuff like this make people like you life better.
trem jim you have serious problems! I'm quit certain you would never meet her qualifications to go out for coffee, much less having intimate relations with her. You're probably some smelly 15 year old boy. Go away you useless piece of trash.
trem jim-you should grow up and become a mature adult, like fast. Be someone your parents could actually be proud of. Go volunteer somewhere, it'll help you feel good about yourself so you don't have to be an angry, racist, loser. Oh and ask someone for a hug. You need one.
trem jim I’m sooo happy to report your comments 😃
trem jim you have a sad life.
Smith College is going to be sued to high heaven over its handling of the false accusations against the staff.
@Dr. Lecter Admitting what exactly? Having lunch?
@@BradBrassman her lies
Of course they wont 🤣 justice is rare in this country for black individuals.
@Jo Sm Ah yes, eating your lunch is a crime worthy of the death penalty
@Jo Sm apparently the old janitor saw her in a closed-off lounge (restricted area) and followed the protocol of mot confronting strangers on their own. I guess he never found out that she was a woman and belonged in the campus. I also assume she didn't know she wasn't supposed to use a closed lounge. He reported her to the security, and the security reported it to the police. It's a shame because nothing really happened here...it's all a misunderstanding 🤣

They ussually just get a slap on the wrist and it's so dumb
They should!
@Ryan Shull .... the police can't just ignore a call and the officer apologized to so....
the words "i dont feel safe" while she is eating lunch is disgusting, no one should deserve this.

I wish I could reach through the internet and time and give this sweet young woman a hug. College is hard enough without this hate and harassment piled on top of it. I wish her a wonderful life with better people, and a successful career once she graduates. 💗🧡
you should read the update on this, as pointed out by other comments "The dorm cafeteria was closed at the time and no one was supposed to be in there. So the janitor called campus security to come check things out (just as he was instructed to do if he saw anything unusual) never mentioning that she was black. Then the unarmed campus security guard told her that the cafeteria was closed. That's literally all that happened." i do think she might have been just very sensitive, thinking she got singled out, but what happened was not right to the people involved( the janitor got fired) and shame to the journalists for not doing their due diligence
This video should really be taken down. How many millions of people have watched it and believed she was telling the truth, long after the investigation and New York Times article?
Holy crap none of the comments in this video aged well lol.

@@ruifaria8871 wouldn’t it have been better to tell her she was in a restricted area vs sending in any type of intimidating security?
The caller knows she is not a man. He/she only said “man” to ensure that the police would come right away. “Suspicious black man” is scarier that “young black woman”.
Exactly. Well said my friend.
k halliday ??? They didn’t say She was targeted based on her gender they pointed out that the caller called her a man Because a man is usually seen as a higher threat than a woman therefore by telling 911 that it was a man then they would likely have a faster reaction
@k halliday I like when they say that "I won't waste time" when you obviously can
So why pick her out of the crowd? Smith is a women's college with a student population about 1/3 African Americans. The important word that drew attention was "man". She would have been in the cafeteria with MANY other African-Americans.
@@esosaohenhen In a women's college that has ZERO black male students and one out of three students are black, her skin color would not even have been noticed. They came because a man of any race in the student dining area would be unusual enough there to have a look. The caller was an idiot, not a racist. I've seen nothing to indicate that the caller was even white.
"Hello officer there is a human with another color near me, its just sitting there . I feel unsafe " 😑😑
Dona Kent exactly. Isn't it so sad n painful.
Yes. 😯 people can be very mean .
SMH
And that very same person would play the victim when the police shows up. Remember what happened to the famous black actor Ving Rhames? After the police came to his home and clearly recognized that it was him in his OWN beautiful home,in his own front yard they all went across the street to the neighbor who called it in and SHE swore down several times to the police officer that she didn't make the call. That young women in this video should not be crying. She should be inviting more black friends from off campus to study on the bench with her. Yes,give the next caller something to REALLY complain about!
Dona Kent its true i feel bad for her. Its very life changing when ur profiled it takes the life out of you. She will always have too live with that everyone handles stuff in there on way

@@grapefruit5054 what happened? Would you be so kind to give me the full story
@@soapy4066 np, so basically she sat in an area that students weren't allowed in because it was reserved for a summer camp program for children, a janitor saw her, but couldn't recognize who she was and (because of a campus policy that doesn't allow him to confront strangers on his own) he called campus security. The security officer who was called recognized that she was a student and informed her that the area was reserved. and the dispute pretty much ended there. Sadly the janitor I believe later lost his job because of this, and I don't know exactly about what happened to the security guard. There's an article as well about this it's title is "Probe finds Smith College student was not victim of racism for 'eating while black' it explains better than I did, but that's basically the jist of it.

Race Bait Situation: Kanoute was eating in a lounge closed to student workers; only young children attending a summer camp were supposed to be there. A cafeteria worker, Jackie Blair, warned Kanoute the area was closed. The janitor (whom the Times left unnamed) had been encouraged to alert campus police if unauthorized personnel were in the area. In the transcript of his call to security, the janitor made no mention of Kanoute’s race. The campus officer arrived unarmed and at one point even apologized for bothering Kanoute.
Go back to journalism school, or what passes for journalism school. Had you asked any follow up questions or sought more than one source for verification you would have known she was eating her lunch in a closed building which was supposed to be locked down for renovation. A custodian saw her and she was verbally abusive to him who went on to call campus police to sort out the situation. She managed to get the custodian and cop fired for her own trespass/loiter.
Caller: Yeah she’s eating lunch- Operator: That’s not a crime Caller: and she’s black Operator: she’s WHAT?
The crime is unforgivable!
Caller: and she HAS A BOOK!!!!!
Aight. Bet. Say no more
More like: Caller: yea this person is eating lunch- Operator. That’s not a crime Caller: and the person is black Operator: Ight imma send the whole entire SWAT and Military, say no more
Yes that's the definition of a "dangerous black man"
So the caller has to be Protected, but this young lady was and still is humiliated by their actions. Horrible
She could try to get the name under The Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA Request), But i'm not sure if it was a public record
That bs they released police officer's who killed kids names
Yep while the racist caller hides behind this convenient rule of not being named
smith college is unable to find out who the caller is! they know who called? protect a racist, humiliate a student. is that the values smith holds dear?? it's disgusting the treatment she received and the lazy statement from the college does nothing to make this student feel protected
@yerb making a false police report is a crime, when you dial 911 and they come out and nothing is wrong you get a ticket or fine in some states
*A janitor, who was in his 60s and had poor vision, then noticed a figure in the distance eating in a closed-off lounge area of the dorm.

Shame on you
c'mon if she was a white blonde girl he wouldve been like "hey sweetehart we're closed". He saw what he thought was a black dude and was thinking "he might be dangerous I better just call the police just in case"
She was told the area was not open. She was asked to leave. The employee followed the policies on security. Pick up your lunch and go somewhere else. Dry up the tears and move on. There was no threats. No physical danger.
Damn she's going to graduate college, have a wonderful life, and that employee will still be a racist working in a cafeteria.

I said it before and I will say it again: This is a form of harassment. Anyone caught and identified contacting the police for bogus reports against minorities should be held accountable and liable for legal fees, then as this trend continues, escalate with possible jail time.

She is Bella indeed
Because African women are really feminine. She's beautiful.
Its ok to publicly humiliate her.but they cant release the accusers identity.that makes alot of sense.
Blackwolf MGTOW tell me about it.im of color and i worry everyday.i worry for my children.
It’s not ok to publicly humiliate her
Sounds about white
TemLem 99 she is just being sarcastic
Coward. If you're so men or women enough, show your racist face.
This is so sad. She seems like a sweet respectful young lady...💙
She is not. This whole story is made up, she is a lying sociopath. I believed it at first until i found evidence of her lies. So what really happened is she was sitting in a restricted area after hours, and the janitor called security so he could clean.
I would literally cry if I was mistreated. This upsets me when someone sweet if mistreated like this. I would have protected her if I was there
the cops actually responded to a report of someone reading a book? WOW.
horaito bolton Your right; they have too much time on their hands which is why they responded promptly to such a petty call. A few hundred police officers need to be made redundant.
I’ve noticed this happening MUCH more frequently in smaller towns/cities where there’s not much real crime. New York and Chicago PD would’ve died laughing over the phone.
It's happened before. A black was in his car reading a book in a park and got called on. The police came out and interrogated him. White people have gone mad since Trump took office.
Sad to say, but yep. You can call the police on a black person for not covering their nose if they sneeze. SMH But it's funny how they won't arrest or ticket the morons that make these bogus calls to the police, wasting taxpayers money. The police is supposed to work for us, we are not getting to work for them!
@@kaystar3434 you said "since trump took office" ???! No hun it was waaayyyyy before that. It just went under everyone's noses (excluding black people) for a few years lol
It hurts a racists to their hearts when they see black people doing things that don't fit the stereotype. It's jealousy and insecurity.
Best explanation!
True dat
Absolutely. The caller was what? A cafeteria employee?
Bob Myets well said
Spot on!👌
If you haven’t gone through this yourself you probably have no idea what it’s really like. It’s hurtful to know you’re being treated differently just because you look the way you do. And it hurts to know you aren’t really 100% secure or safe where you are and to feel like you have to watch your back in the place that you live. That you can’t even get some lunch without being profiled and seen as a threat and have cops come talk to you. It’s devastating.
Except that is not what happened. btw I have had this happen. I've been politely told by security to leave. Baby some miracle I survived.
I heard that the allegations were false ... Is this true?? If yes ..was she charged ??
They were false, got a janitor and a uninvolved employee in the food court fired.
Of course she wasn't charged. There are zero repercussions for false accusations. She graduates this spring. Meanwhile staff were forced into all kinds of racial bias training. Here's one of them blowing the whistle: kzhead.info/sun/ldCqoKeFepp4o4E/bejne.html
She looks nothing like a man. She’s very femenine and has a beautiful face ❤️ Honesty she could be a model.
They only thought she was a man was because of the short hair
Francesca Bailey they didn’t think that. They just wanted to be offensive
Trump's Brick Layer yes woman
Diana Banana why do blacks have to prove their beauty through modelling? Why stoop so low with that comment,for me it is her intelligence,poise,composure,gentle and soft spoken manner that have won me over.
Sweet.
Time for a monetary penalty for false reports via 911. If it costs them a ticket for $1000 on their record in order to have their fun, perhaps they would think twice.
Linda Stead this is an excellent idea
That would mean they admit that these callers are doing something wrong, which they (the law) will not do! Ijs
I would want that too, but at the same time that could dissuade people from calling 911 when it is warranted. I think they should train 911 operators to investigate over the phone what the situation is and ask the person why they are calling if they see explicit illegal activity and if they are only calling on a trespassing issue that they caller should approach and ask. If they lie to the officer on the line that should definitely be fine 1000$ or more.
@Unseen but Well Heard that has nothing to do with this.
Unseen but Well Heard so does everyone else your point?
Smh, sometimes the stupidity causing all this is staggering. I wouldn’t even care if she wasn’t a student as she was clearly not bothering anyone. The only reason they won’t release the name is because it’s someone who’s identity would cause the college a whole lot of grief. 5.5 decades on this planet, in this country, and all it continues to prove to me is that we are doomed as a species. I for one applaud your right to be there, young lady! Much luck in all your future endeavors.
What was the result of the investigation?
She lied about most everything. Innocent people were fired for doing their jobs properly.
Black college student: **reads at college** Employee: That’s illegal!
KSI wdym??
KSI racist POS
KSI bro what drug are you on?
@-Phoenix- -Gacha- You’re right. I think I should’ve put student instead
Employee: why are you reading? That's illegal.
Eating while black! Wtf!
Racist Swatting. Bullying By Cop.
Alex da Vinci she deserved it tho !

SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND LOVELY
Turns out she's either paranoid or she's a nasty piece of work. Read the piece in the New York Times, Feb 2021. It puts what happened in a whole different perspective.
She’s beautiful and seem so innocent leave her alone

Maybe she made loud crunch noises while eating?
@yerb its obviously sarcastic..no need to address u liked it cuz it sarcasm thats kinda "'cringe" to adress something is a joke tbh
As if it wasn’t insulting enough that someone called the cops on her for no reason, they had the nerve to report her as a “suspicious black man.” WOW!
You took the words out of my mouth... thats insult to injury... I mean come on...
and the cops arrived asap. had that been a suspicious white man/woman, no one would be there in the next hour. talk about white privilege.
I thought I was trippin for a second. They did say black man.
Very evil jealous people
A beautiful black woman she is and she doesn't have any makeup on either. She don't need it cuz she's beautiful with her coily hair I love it whoever it was was jealous of her
She looks like an Angel. Beautiful young lady. How can you do this to her?
This hurts my heart! 😢
She's pretty.
Charlie Möller pretty stupid, people call the police at random to harass people at random, sad but true. she's a lying, assumptive race baiter
michael andersoñ Who are you talking about? I said the black girl is pretty.
Charlie Möller shes pretty annoying and naive
michael andersoñ Get lost, and stop liking your comments.
michael andersoñ 1. She did NOT mention ANY race. Watch the entire video at least TWICE, just like I did. NO ONE in the Video mentioned ANY RACE for the Caller! Yes she mentioned "Racist" but are you accepting that label exclusively for yourself and your race? 2. "Police told her that an employee has called about a suspicious Black Man" 0:31 - is this HER fault? With people like you - the world is doomed. 3. Are you a Russian Troll? My mum says I shouldn't feed the Trolls. That Trolls will die off naturally in the human scheme of things.
Dispatch should start responding to these calls like so... "sir/ma'am, if the situation you are calling about in any way turns out to be a racist ploy you will be prosecuted, do you accept these conditions or should we end this call now?"
AGREED. DO NOT WHY THERE IS NO LAW AGAINST SUCH CRANK CALLS WHICH TARGET INNOCENT BLACK PEOPLE LIVING THEIR NORMAL LIVES.
@Katherine Seabrook I agree
Agreed.
Agreed!
That's a brilliant idea. If there was a way to make people consider the motivation of their actions before calling the police. I know as a 6'5 black male I have to consider every word and action I make daily so nothing is misinterpreted. SMH
Why is a lot of the USA still stuck in the 60s time has moved on so should they. That poor girl, shame on the ones that picked on her.
Well, it's not. This is another race bait situation: Kanoute was eating in a lounge closed to student workers; only young children attending a summer camp were supposed to be there. A cafeteria worker, Jackie Blair, warned Kanoute the area was closed. The janitor (whom the Times left unnamed) had been encouraged to alert campus police if unauthorized personnel were in the area. In the transcript of his call to security, the janitor made no mention of Kanoute’s race. The campus officer arrived unarmed and at one point even apologized for bothering Kanoute.
Turns out, as per a recent New York Times article, this girl’s story was complete crap. She was eating in a closed lounge she wasn’t supposed to be in. Because there were kids on campus for the summer program, and everyone on campus had to have an authorized background check, staff were told to call security on any unauthorized people. Smith hired legal counsel after the incident and found that the visually impaired 60 year old janitor who called security on her used zero language that suggested racial intent, and the unarmed security who arrived respectfully cleared everything up. Total nonissue. This brat got an elderly working class man fired for doing his job and has the gall to act like a racial victim. She’s a monster.
Don't forget she also accused and doxxed staff who weren't even there at the time. What repercussions did she face?
@@nforne That’s right!!! The president of Smith College is still supporting this woman, stating that, although their own internal investigation unequivocally concluded that the entire incident was a hoax, it didn’t rule out the possibility that implicit racism played a role. The College and this liar need to be sued, and I am pretty sure prolific attorneys would LOVE to take this case, pro bono.
@@nondescriptnyc That's the most frightening thing - implicit bias is impossible to disprove. We've effectively gone from "innocent until proven guilty" to "you can't prove you're not racist so we'll act as though you are". Anyone sane should be seriously concerned about this.
Wtf how do we know what's real bro this is unacceptable from anybody dude
She’s very feminine... would never mistake her for a man. Her voice too. Very messed up.
at a distance she could be a geezer
Trevor Gill ok boomer
They knew saying it was a black man would get the police’s attention and they would arrive sooner.
Trevor Gill Why?? How?? Because she chooses to wear her hair short?
She's kinda yummy
Why do these complainers get to remain anonymous when it's clearly a frivolous complaint? That should override their protection.
What made it clear to you that the complaint was frivolous?
@@robertsparling Good point. We have the wisdom of hindsight
@@kirbygene Because you thought about what I wrote instead of just emoting, I think you have a bit of wisdom in general.
@@robertsparling Calling the police on a black women sitting and reading a book isn't frivolous?
@@cu5864 You don't know why the caller called. You don't know what the call was about. You don't know if the caller was black or white or something else. Frankly, you don't know that a call was even made. Everything you think you know is a second and third hand story from a drama queen. What we heard come directly from her mouth was that she doesn't feel safe on her campus anymore. I would like to know why? Does she feel unsafe because the police asked her a few questions then apologized for bothering her? Where in the video, exactly, did it seem that she was in an unsafe situation? I would also like to know why she said she was treated unfairly? Does she think that people have no right to be concerned about what other people do? Does she think police have no right to talk to her? What about her treatment was unfair? Let's say I was just sitting and reading in an elementary school cafeteria. Should people not wonder why I was there? Would it be unfair to ask me what I was doing there? Would it make me unsafe to be asked what I was doing there? I don't expect I would be getting apologies, but then, I wouldn't be playing a race card either.
I pray for her 🙏🏽and wish her the best I’m mad 😡🤬she and others have to deal with this type of behavior it is not acceptable
This is wrong on so many levels. I hope they arrested the person who filed the false report or claim.
*Hold these callers accountable*
TheLegendOfKoop... ALL DAY, EVERY DAY 👍🏾.
TheLegendOfKoop yez
These bigoted idiot callers who sit with 911 on speed dial have to know that these unwarranted calls place the lives of innocent blacks in jeopardy with overzealous kops who may shoot first in a situation that escalates out of control. Of course they know what the outcome could be. but don't care....Next??? Cops called because a black person is breathing too loud( that's all that's left)....One thing is certain, these racist idiots feel empowered because they're since of entitlement bolsters that false notion... This won't last always; the shoe will one day be on the other foot when they are held accountable for their evil, hatred foolishness
They are suppose to calling 911 for a no emergency especially lie is a felony how the cops didn't do anything says alot about them call 911 they have your number and name I dont understand why the police didnt do anything. Only reason I can think of they dont care and dont want to do there jobs and they dont have and once of compassion
Very much so
These people should be fined for abusing police resources
In England they would be fined ,but if it continued it would probably be prosecuted as a "Hate Crime" which I believe gets the perp prison time!
@Roger B in germany its 1.5 k to 2k
White Privileges!
I agree
Their should a law against calling and making a false report. Now only should this man be fired, but he should spend at least a week in jail.
Is cbs going to do a retraction on this story?
Why let something as irrelevant as the truth muddy their precious narrative?
What happened
@@varshimunanngi5543 turned out she lied
I doubt it. Not the way it works. Racism hoax is exposed, so they just drop it and go on to the next story.
Seriously... It seems that most of these well-publicized hate crimes reported on college campuses have been hoaxes (e.g., Oberlin College, SUNY Albany, a Columbia professor who put a noose on her own office door, etc. etc.). But I don’t think the mainstream media has retracted any of the stories.
"911 what's your emergency" "There's a black person" *"Sending choppers now"*

She so fine ...wish I could date her lol
No racist there’s a difference
I bet it's one of those white ladies with a 5 inch sloped chin
She should not be that upset because people call the cops on other people they don't know in certain areas of schools or other places. She should stand tall and tell the officer that she is a student at that school and show him her school identification. If he needs further identification she should just tell him to contact someone in the administration. There is no reason to cry.
These crocodile tears are just... Ugh. She's lying through her teeth. I truly hate it when people use a serious issue to get either money or attention. It's the lowest of low.
This is a damn shame.
Folk Aart you are such a terrible person!!! How could you say things like this, "then you would be treated like whites" wtf!!! NOBODY should be treated this way. I hate how this world has become. Racism should be over but because people like you its not. I am white and I respect others the way I want to be treated. This poor girl was just trying to read. And the others were just trying to swim or sell lemonaid or even mow a lawn. SO DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE OKAY TO DO ALL THESE THINGS IF THE PEOPLE WERE WHITE??? It shouldn't matter the race. And don't even start with peoples criminal records. Because there are ALOT of criminals that are white aswell. You can't be like this. We need to stop racism before it gets as bad as before. This world is full of bad people, that's why we need to stand up and become the good people of this nation and show equality so other continents can adopt these laws to make people free and equal to do all things.
Folk Aart be quiet Troll!
@Folk Aart do you think black people (and other people) commit crimes because they love it and are naturally malignant people? Crimes are committed because people are desperate to put food on the table, not because they like it, but out of desperation. Many (but not all) black people also are forced to live in poverty because of systemic racism like this that goes on to this day. Black schools are FAR less funded than other schools, destroying opportunity and keeping poor people poor. Half of all African-Americans will stay poor their whole lives due to this toxic system. Black people are just like anyone else, the only difference is their skin color, all people are equals and we must treat all people as such! You are calling 1.1 billion people violent losers who commit crimes and are horrible. How could, in any universe, 1/7 of the world just be horrible, violent, people? They're just normal people trying to live their lives, and you are generalizing, lying, and being extremely racist and ignorant. Instead of just generalizing about so many people, why don't you just TALK to them? Make FRIENDS with them maybe? I'm sorry, I must be introducing a revolutionary concept to you. The wedge that's keeping racism alive is you, not black people. YOU are the one who's abusing black people, by bashing them online like a chicken. Do you think enslaving, murdering, raping, terrorizing, and oppressing a people is treating them fine? And then the fact they have a higher crime rate due to poverty from this oppression white people created they commit more crimes, and you have the nerve to say that you are the one that's suffering? Get a life.

where did you get this information?

I read the piece. You cant accuse her like that. She thought she got singled out because of her race, she didnt know she was in a restricted area.
@@megrocks3026 In other words, she jumped to a false conclusion, but why were her claims taken so seriously that she was paraded on television? Where was the journalistic integrity?
@@nforne its just a unique scenario where the janitor was told not to personally talk to anyone but just call the police straight away. If she had talked to her, there wouldve been no misunderstandings. But its not her fault because that was what she was intruscted to do. Secondly, it was the cop who told her some racist called about her, after he asked her for identification and found out she was just a student. You can't blame either side. I just find it weird that the school didnt say straight away that it was a misunderstanding. They simply fired the janitor. Then 2 years later an article comes out that it was all a big misunderstanding? It doesnt make any sense.
A private investigator will retrieve Any & All pertinent information she needs
People who make calls like this should face criminal charges.
They definitely should! They are being completely racist (which I also feel, people should be arrested for being racist) and also they wasted a police officers time!
Yes, wasting police time and resources if nothing else. You’re absolutely right.
I totally agree and they should have to pay large fines that will get them to think twice about hatresong black people
well these wytes seem to believe that the police work as their personal security so you have to question why they think that way. they obviously know that the police are generally just like them. there is a reason why the police in the US look like a meeting of the kIan, it is no accident.
