Thats kinda of your point right?
Is that what happened in the video?
No; it is not.
Maybe engage in some self-reflection, go read some more about this story on the internet, read some perspectives that maybe your dumb ass might not immediately agree with, and see if maybe you come back with a tad bit more understanding about what happened in the video. Because it wasn't someone simply calling the police and matter-of-factly describing the person in front of them.
I'll even give you a hint, a homework question of sorts: why did the woman,
before calling the police,
tell the man filming her that, specifically, "I'm going to tell them there's an African-American man threatening my life"?
Work on that for a bit, get back to me, we can chat tomorrow. If that isn't too difficult for you to figure out, of course - my expectations for you are pretty low.
Good luck!
