911 Call Reported Armed Burglar - Who Was Actually a Black Ex-Obama Staffer Moving Into New Home

[TexasTowelie]

A black former Obama administration staffer had the police called on him while moving into his new apartment in New York City.

Darren Martin moved back to his hometown after spending several years working in the White House and on Capitol Hill, but his homecoming was complicated after a neighbor reported him Friday as a possible burglar, reported WPIX-TV.

“Somebody called the cops on me in my own building,” Martin said in a video streamed live on his Instagram account.

Officers came to the Upper West Side building to investigate a possible burglary in progress, and the 911 caller warned Martin was carrying a “large tool” that appeared to be a weapon.

1. I know this is part of white hegemony/supremacy...

but at some point bogusly/erroneously calling the cops on black-people-behaving-normally needs to have some *legal* consequence. Doesn't it?

Please wake me up when we've reached that point.


Seriously, this is stochastic terrorism under the guise of law-enforcement-concern-trolling. A non-zero percent of unarmed, law-abiding black people are killed by police at the initial moment of interaction. That is a measurable level of homicide directly resulting from a person's decision to call the police and report "possible whatever." If you call the cops, make sure you are so concerned you'd be okay with someone dying over it.

3. I think that is why some are making the call and they are OK with it

2. I was listening to the radio and some guy was talking about how he went to get some hockey skates sh

sharpened for his son and someone called the cops on him because you know
and he said it wasn't just a cop showing up asking what he was doing there but two squads with lights and sirens

He is originally from Canada and said it was a hard transition because in Canada everyone is just Canadian, not like here where half the country is considered "other" even though they are really citizens

4. Sounds sickeningly similar to the 2009 Henry Louis Gates incident

The Harvard professor who was arrested for "breaking into" his own home in Cambridge, Mass.
