NY State Senator Wants to Make Calling 911 on Black Folks in White Spaces a Hate Crime

 “Under the new law, the Oakland woman who called 911 to report a barbecue, the Philadelphia Starbucks manager who had two customers arrested and the Yale student who reported a fellow student for napping could be charged and prosecuted, had they called 911 in New York State,” Hamilton said.

so if people actually ARE committing a crime (trespassing) then according to how they are trying to make this law sound, the manager would be arrested for a hate crime because no charges were pressed after the fact?

"Lets see exactly how racist of a law we can write up and get people to pass it"

 

If they wrote a law saying instead that if a black person called 911 on a white person with no evidence of an actual crime it would be automatically escalated to a hate crime" they'd be foaming at the mouth about it.

So no more "suspicious character" calls.  That will result in no one calling 911 and letting the police sort out the  potential problem.  The problem will have to escalate to a crime before anyone can call 911.   

I think the real purpose is to make any 911 calls for individuals, illegal.  That'll fix a lot of problems...…………… For some group.

Well, actually there was a crime at the Starbucks.  It's called Trespassing. That is when you are somewhere and are asked to leave and you don't.

The Oakland lady called based on a city park ordinance for no charcoal use.

Don't want a police visit? Don't do stupid stuff.

Yes, but the article clearly stated that calls like that would have the person who calls in arrested as a hate crime, even though they actually WERE breaking the law at the time of the call.
