My white neighbor thought I was breaking into my own apartme

[Lazie]

My white neighbor thought I was breaking into my own apartment. Nineteen cops showed up.



had never looked down the barrel of a gun or at the face of a man with a loaded weapon pointed at me. In his eyes, I saw fear and anger. I had no idea what was happening, but I saw how it would end: I would be dead in the stairwell outside my apartment, because something about me — a 5-foot-7, 125-pound black woman — frightened this man with a gun. I sat down, trying to look even less threatening, trying to de-escalate. I again asked what was going on. I confirmed there were no pets or people inside.

Den di Neighbour don't know what shi look like?

[Bricktop]

first mistake she made was opening the door...never open the door for police officers...

[Mosiah]

Simple as that, huh?

If you don't suspect you've done anything wrong, you'll open the door. Normal behaviour!

Who needs ISIS in America? Surely not black people!

[Rudi]

The one who called the cops said he had never seen her before.

[Islandman]

In a case like this where they think someone broke in, wouldn't they kick down the door anyway?

[Mosiah]

Of course! 19 cops weren't simply going to shrug their shoulders and say, darn!

They must likely would have forcibly entered with weapons blazing!

[Lazie]

The one who called the cops said he had never seen her before.

That may be true ... but when she spoke to him he could have acknowledged he made a mistake.

The police on the other hand are always aggressive irrespective of the issue. They could have taken a different approach ... but of course all a dem want to be a hero.

Devils advocate,what color was the locksmith.

[Mosiah]

I'm sure many on social media will say the cops did nothing wrong. Indeed, I can see some posters here saying the exact same thing!

[Bricktop]

well then if you haven't done anything wrong don't open the door...they need a warrant to kick off your door...& if they enter without a warrant i am now officially retired after the lawsuit that hits them...

[Jangle]

...or officially dead when they enter with guns blazing

[Bricktop]

go right ahead...the city will be paying out of their teeth afterwards though...

[Bricktop]

i'll take my chances...

[Mosiah]

You, Bricky, but black people reality likkle different.
