youre use of the martin/zimmerman incident as an example shows that you have no idea what the issue was to black people. After the initial investigation the police and states atty were reluctant to charge zimmerman with anything. It took a national outcry, the DOJ and a statement from the President before that case went to trial. Do you honestly believe that a black man involved in the shooting death of a 16 year old white kid who wasn't committing a crime and had junk food in his pockets would have not at the very least automatically been charged with something (whether or not the charges would lead to conviction)? Do you really believe the police would have given that black man his gun back and said its a clean shoot, sorry for the inconvenience?
okay... now just show where blacks as a group have established laws in this country that discriminate against anyone? Show where blacks as a group have created organizations that have negatively affected whites or any other groups in real ways beyond someone choosing to be offended by the sheer existence of said group?
again its the perception and the consequences of that perception that you don't have to deal with.
'It's not illegal to be black': Cops complain online about white people getting 'freaked out' by their black neighbors and wasting police time with 911 calls
A black person fishing in a community pond, two black people jump-starting a car and someone from the Middle East looking mean these are all suspicious scenes that have prompted members of the public to dial 911.
These calls were revealed by serving and former police officers who took to the internet to air their astonishment at white people panicking sometimes simply at the mere sight of someone with different racial lineage being nearby.
Dozens have joined an online discussion thread to share their experiences.
The first post, on Reddits ProtectAndServe forum, which was set up for the law enforcement community, was called People, please stop making my job so difficult and written by a verified police officer called sf7.
He wrote: So I'm working last week and get dispatched to a call of 'Suspicious Activity.' Ya'll wanna know what the suspicious activity was? Someone walking around in the dark with a flashlight and crow bar? Nope. Someone walking into a bank with a full face mask on? Nope.
It was two black males who were jump starting a car at 930 in the morning. That was it. Nothing else. Someone called it in. People. People. People. If you're going to be a racist, stereotypical jerk... keep it to yourself.
Shortly after the post went up, police officer Amipow revealed that he got a call about someone illegally fishing in a community pond.
He continued: Once I arrive, I see a middle aged black man fishing in the pond. He looks over when I pull up and immediately approaches me. He said, "Let me guess, my racist neighbors called again saying that I didn't live here."'
A former 911 dispatcher called Nursehokiehi said that lots of people rang in to report a suspicious person and when asked for clarification as to what was suspicious about the individual, most would mumble, stumble or even whisper umm, hes/shes black or Muslim-looking.
Nursehokiehi added: '[replying] "Ma'am, it's not illegal to be black (or Muslim, or Mexican, etc)... " usually worked.'
Other racist complaints aired on the thread include a lady who called the police because a black man was sitting in a truck opposite her house, a woman in a college town who reported a middle easterner strolling along looking mean - the officer failed to find this person among the 200 or so walking around - and an anonymous resident dialing 911 at the sight of a black woman walking to her mail box.
And a traffic officer with the handle TeenageExplorer wrote: We frequently get calls about black men and women and kids, yes kids, walking. Like WWB [Walking While Black] was actually a crime and not a Twitter joke.'
