People complain about the social media “mob” (and there are issues) but the core problem here is that even after such videos, people like her aren’t ever prosecuted. It’s clearly a false and malicious report, a crime, and it seems like she’s trying to get him “killed-by-cop.”https://twitter.com/NYDailyNews/status/1265090833138810881 …

It's a form of swatting via weaponized racism. And police didn't used to take those seriously and swatter kept doing it and people died. False report is a felony with jail time. Can't quickly fix racism but can create deterrence to terrible behavior like this. That's all I got.

yup, i agree w the take. wondering what operations changes, if any, police need to make in order to carry out a good number of prosecutions in this mould. i guess the truth is likely just a lack of will

i completely agree re the nature of the crime of calling the police like she did, and the risk that the birder be shot. my suspicion is that police forces aren’t set up to run cases where almost all the evidence is digital. that’s what i feel needs to change
