(17,995 posts)Someone in the neighborhood noticed that a child walked up to a house empty handed and left the porch with something in their hand. It turned out the newspaper (one of these advertisements) had been delivered to the wrong address. The neighbor called 911 because they thought it was suspicious. The scene was cleared as soon as the newspapers were shown to the police officer.

Let's continue to turn the tables on them and weaponize our cell phone videos to record and post their racist actions online.
That just happened with the woman who was wearing a PR flag blouse who was confronted by a drunk and dumb, white racist berating her for wearing a shirt of a "foreign" country in America.
Although the cop on scene failed to take action against the drunk, the online video resulted in the dummy being charged afterwards.

PLEASE.

(34,195 posts)The caller saw someone walk up to a porch empty handed, and leave with something.
With all the news stories about stolen packages from doorways,
the suspicious neighbor did the right thing.
But it got classified as racist?
Even the mother said as soon as she told the cop they were delivering papers, he left.

This calling the police on Black people is getting insane. STOP IT. White people - before you pick up that phone, engage those two remaining brain cells you have and think about what you are about to do.
Aaaiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
