      Wait, I feel I missed something. Who’s the woman in green? She doesn’t look familiar. The others are ingrained in my soul, unfortunately.

    If we White folk just keep calling the police on Black folk going about living their daily lives, then someday, somewhere, we will thwart a crime. It might take a while, it might even take years, but it’s bound to happen! Of course we will disrupt some lives in the process, and we might even get somebody killed. But sooner or later we will get at least one shoplifter off the streets. The rest is just collateral damage.

      Somehow I cannot find the humor in your irony...because that’s EXACTLY what seems to be happening with these events.

     Corvontae Davis, a corrections officer by the way in the state of Wisconsin,

    Once again, tragedy becomes comedy. Correctional officers are people who failed to become cops, we all know this. No sympathy here. Sure, PPP should also be prosecuted for filing a false report, and I’d give her no sympathy either.

      I need more time to think about this one. Either way, the blatant racism and police calling are still the bigger issues here.

      I was sympathetic until this:

      “I wasn’t going to. I don’t typically like to play the race card, they say, but in a matter of 24 hours it garnered more than 40,000 views, and it’s still climbing and hopefully these situations can be resolved,” Davis said.

      What kind of mealy-mouthed nonsense is this? Are you trying to prove that you’re “one of the good ones”? It’s not “playing the race card” if someone does something fucking racist Corvontae. And yes, to the inevitable trolls, this shit is racist. You don’t assume that someone with a key to the car is stealing the car unless you know for an absolute fact that it’s not their car. Use some common fucking sense - what fucking criminal breaks into a car (with the key!) to use the change in it to pay the gotdam meter???

      Don’t get me wrong, PPP deserves the full weight of the internet’s wrath for being a bigot but who is dude trying to impress by downplaying the severity of what happened and what could have happened to him?

    $5 says she goes to a megachurch and has a “FORGIVEN” bumper sticker. No need to apologize, Jesus took care of everything!

    Time to start arresting and taking these idiots to jail. Enough already. Now we can’t even get into our own cars without drama.

      This. Or at least issuing a false report citation.

      It’s not a false report to say “I think someone is breaking into a car.” These people are on some bullshit, but usually not breaking the law as long as they don’t outright fabricate something (like that white lady who was screaming gun because there was a black man nearby).

    This is a public service announcement:

    The dealers never mention it (because they assume that you read the owner’s manual), but “keyless” fobs have a key that’s hidden inside of them specifically for emergencies like this. Next time a Parking Patrol Paula gets fresh with you, please use that emergency key to get into the vehicle that’s rightfully yours.

    Like old school cars, that key can only open up your car and that dead fob can only start your car, and nobody else’s. So instead of fumbling around and dealing with folks like her, use the emergency procedures to hop in, fire up your ride, tell PPP, “Deuces!” and be on your way.

    ... I hear this lady shouting, screaming, ‘Dude, why are you breaking into that car? Whose car is that? Does it belong to you?’”

    Let’s say that her not minding her goddamn business was appreciated (it’s not) isn’t she asking the questions in the wrong goddamn order? The first assumption is that someone is entering their own goddamn car.

    White people, we’ve had this talk about you minding your goddamn business.

    Not one, not a single person, making these calls gives a shit about the potential “victim” of the “crime”. Or do they believe a crime is even being committed. Someone’s car being stolen, violating bbq areas (this kills me), or any other thing. They just see the opportunity to mess with a POC and they are going to take their shot.
