Clyde Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Woman locks herself out. Calls locksmith. Locksmith lets her in. Neighbor calls police reporting burglary. 19 officers show up. 19 Cops Showed Up at a Black Calif. Businesswoman's Apartment After a White Neighbor Reported a Possible Burglary - The Root We all agree the police have to show up. Not an option to decline the call. But 19?
halfback20 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 What's the issue? Some will not like this post, but maybe we should be thankful there are that many people willing to respond to protect our property instead of whining and complaining that too many showed up. They likely did not know what was going on coming in other than a report that someone was breaking in to someone's house. I haven't read the article, but if someone thinks someone is breaking into my house, even if it's me, I do not care how many show up. I'll gladly answer their questions and prove it's my house.
sportsfan41 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Nothing wrong with this at all. People that get upset or don't understand why so many officers show up to a call simply don't understand policing. If this had in fact been a burglary and the burglarers were trying to split up and flee the area on foot. Would you rather have 8-9 officers trying to set up a perimeter and locate the burglarers(few blocks each direction) or 19-20? The idea in police work is to always have enough man power or more than enough. It's not to have just enough man power or hopefully close to enough. Once the scene is secure and its realized there's nothing happening the officers are going to get out of there pretty quickly.
sportsfan41 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Clyde did you actually read the entire article? She ends her "terrifying story" by stating is caused her to lose sleep and be frightened. That she is now terrified of large dogs and has nightmares about white men beating her and calling her the N word..... WOW.

I haven't read the article, but if someone thinks someone is breaking into my house, even if it's me, I do not care how many show up. I'll gladly answer their questions and prove it's my house. The issue is that she feels if she was white she wouldn't have been accused of breaking into her own apartment. Is that normal for 19 police officers to show up to investigate a breaking and entering call? Is it normal for the police to withhold the information and not answer the questions the "suspect" has after proving no crime has been committed? Is it normal for the police to give two different lists of the officers that were present at the scene? Is it normal for police officers to not file a full report when answering a call?
PurplePride92 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I feel bad for the woman. Traumatic experience for an innocent person. Staring down the barrel of a gun while innocent can't be a good feeling.
capt278 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I feel bad for the woman. Traumatic experience for an innocent person. Staring down the barrel of a gun while innocent can't be a good feeling. Oh please. This woman is looking for a payday. Plain and simple. Scared of being beaten by white men while they call her the N word. Even though none of that happened during the call? Nothing like being overly melodramatic.

Even though none of that happened during the call? Nothing like being overly melodramatic. So because of that one part of the story you totally disregard the experience of being falsely accused of breaking into your own apartment and detained at gun point? Forgive me, I've never had a gun pointed at me and I have never been falsely detained by the police at gun point either. I can't imagine it is something I would casually dismiss mentally.

You seriously look at the details of this case and are fine with it? What if it was one of your daughters? You'd just say quit being melodramatic? Seriously?

Short answer, yes. Like I have been taught my entire life, if you can't believe one aspect of a story, it makes the rest suspect.
sportsfan41 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Even though no one beat her, or called her the N word? Exactly. What s joke.
