        Please don't try to say the cops were racist. They were obligated to respond to the call.

        Respond doesn’t mean arrest. If I call the cops and say you just murdered your family, are the cops obligated to come arrest you without probable cause and disregard the fact I could have made the story up because I simply don’t like you or your face? See how crazy that sounds?

        If you falsely say I just murdered my family, giving the cops reason to believe that I am a murderer, they have to err on the side of caution and approach me as a dangerous person. And I would hope that, once the truth were known, you would be arrested.

        How convenient that the "African-American" couple who called the cops are nowhere to be found now.

        They were nowhere to be found because they don’t exist.

        Why? Because someone reported a possible crime and they investigated? You think now blacks don’t commit crimes? What’s sad is the crime was reported by blacks. Instigating. Stuff like this creates animosity.

        This isn't why they kneel. This incident is utterly ridiculous.

        They kneel because of incidents like this, and others that have far more tragic consequences.

        But...in this case, he was reported by other black people, not white.

        Yes, I read the story. It doesn't matter who reported him, assumptions were made...and you know what they say about assumptions...
