I'm pretty sure that her info will be public before long, if it isn't already, and the repercussions will be far worse than a filing a false report charge.
Sadly she can't be arrested for filing a false report as they were in the wrong zone. So I'm not sure what sort of punishment she can get other than getting doxxed, fired, and publicly humiliated.
If you are not concluding anything about black people why bring up crime statistics when that isn't germane to this thread?I’m not concluding anything about blacks, but you’re painting this pic of evil whites are the cause of all the woes in the lives of blacks but that’s absurd.
"Police are not private security for any white person that's offended by the presence of black folks in our public spaces,"
A 2015 Reuters poll showed that black and white Americans tend to hold drastically different attitudes toward police. While 54 percent of all Americans said they “trust the police to be fair and just,” only 30 percent of African-Americans did. And when asked if police “tend to unfairly target minorities,” 69 percent of black Americans agreed, while just 29 percent of whites did.
You disproved nothing. You cherry picked one example while ignoring others.
As for the great depression you are, of course, wrong. Early in the great depression crime spiked to an all time high. It later dropped as the New Deal programs kicked in.

It may be a bit more complex than simply poverty = crime. However, statistically, people living in poverty are more likely to commit crimes. My links more than proved that.
and this is relevant to the thread how??? Why???The crime rate had been going up for nearly a decade before the Great Depression due to Prohibition and immediately plunged after its repeal. Meanwhile crime fell during the Great Recession and went up huge during the very prosperous 1960s? Indeed the actual data says the opposite of what you're saying for the most part. If you want to go internationally you can make a weak correlation of poverty/crime at the very low end of the scale (like a few hundred a year level poverty) which is well below the threshold of what's typical in the U.S. and doesn't really extrapolate. There's outliers at the tail ends but the line is basically an almost flat but very gently downsloping line once you're past a few thousand/year in income.
It isn't. Lots of people just like to take opportunities to create divides between people. Shoehorning a 'black folks be violent' debate into a 'racist shitbag calls cops on someone that doesn't look like them' conversation is a time-honored tradition.and this is relevant to the thread how??? Why???

Braasch is a philosophy Ph.D. candidate who has studied gender and law, according to Yale’s website, and who has expressed civil rights and human rights as interests in her LinkedIn profile.
Needless and escalating job preferences such as college and no criminal history just begs "don't apply" if you're from an inner city. From a place of poverty. Our society is financially structured to keep people down in ways that extend beyond trickle down.
They were either a racist, a coward, or both. Either they're concerned about someone that doesn't look like them being in a common area, or they're concerned about ANYONE they don't know being in a common area. Either way they're shitty, and there's a 50% chance they're racist and shitty.In this instance the person who called police was per story in this post not someone who would typical fit the bill of someone who folks would be guessing to be a "racist shitbag."
Then why the hell is a debate about elevated violence among black youths coming up in this thread, if it has nothing to do with that?And it doesn't seem like the person who reported the person for sleeping in the dorm common area framed it as a black person being violent.

Of course not! She's more of a "black people can't possibly be students at Yale" racist asshole.And it doesn't seem like the person who reported the person for sleeping in the dorm common area framed it as a black person being violent.
Well, her actions definitely reveal her as racist. And I'm gonna' go with "shitbag" as well, for calling the police.In this instance the person who called police was per story in this post not someone who would typical fit the bill of someone who folks would be guessing to be a "racist shitbag."
You're missing something here. See, 'black while existing' means that, an individual, not doing a damned thing except existing, gets singled out as a potential troublemaker due to their race/ethnicity. This isn't a problem of the blamed, but the accuser. There's a big fucking problem when a black guy at Yale University gets singled out as a potential troublemaker. If a black dude at Yale can't be innocent, where could he be?Because the title of the thread is linking it to a larger pattern; "another existing while black thread." There's a direct correlation between things like "how often the police stop you for questioning" and "how much crime and violence goes on in this neighborhood." Much of the feeling of exasperation of "____ while black" is due to the direct and logical approaches to confronting problems stemming from data points like "blacks commit homicide at rates n times <insert other group here> in <insert neighborhood name here>" and the increased policing, incarceration, and other knock-on effects. Thus by the time a black person gets to Yale they have the experience of an entire lifetime of being hassled because of "guilt by association" with other blacks whose behavior was less stellar and who were committing those multiple times above average number of homicides.
Cause satistks prove you aren't a racist.and this is relevant to the thread how??? Why???
Really?Because the title of the thread is linking it to a larger pattern; "another existing while black thread."

Much of the feeling of exasperation of "____ while black" is due to the direct and logical approaches to confronting problems stemming from data points like "blacks commit homicide at rates n times <insert other demographic group here> in <insert neighborhood name here>" and the increased policing, incarceration, and other knock-on effects. Thus by the time a black person gets to Yale they have the experience of an entire lifetime of being hassled because of "guilt by association" with other blacks whose behavior was less stellar and who were committing those multiple times above average number of homicides.
"Police are not private security for any white person that's offended by the presence of black folks in our public spaces,"
Really?
Do you think the white golfer when everyone at the club has to be a member had "datapoints" on his mind when he decided to call the police on the black golfers in front of them?
Did the woman at Yale had datapoints on her mind?
Did the Starbucks manager have datapoints on her mind?
Did the woman who called the police for BBQing while black have "datapoints" on her mind?
You keep ignoring the premise of this thread. Its less about the police but more about the white people who are trying to criminalize black people for just living their lives.
Again I quote the councilwoman
Well shit, maybe they'd prefer it to be approached the same way other racial groups get handled. When was the last time you saw a white dude get stopped and frisked because they were trying to crack down on the local KKK chapter? Oh right, they don't, they just investigate the organization and arrest the appropriate people.For example, many blacks are complaining about policies like "stop and frisk" but likewise want high crime in their neighborhoods addressed; so it not stop and frisk what would their preferred approach to taking on crime be?
I don't understand why its so hard for him to understand that simple premise.Well shit, maybe they'd prefer it to be approached the same way other racial groups get handled.

But hey, I'm sure it's actually the social group's fault they're being accosted, due to them not teaching the police force how to properly address crime in the area.
You noticed that too.... The new P&N effect: the longer a thread goes the further the StormFront comes out of some folks keyboards...
Usually people 'within' a space they see as good, appropriate, whatever, see people 'without' to be doing something wrong to cause them to end up in that position. After all, their inaction got them in a good place (not realizing it's actually their skin color that got them 95% there), so it has to be the 'action' of another that got them into a terrible place. This is what brings out the thinly-veiled racism in 'if they just didn't commit crime so much, they wouldn't get arrested'.I don't understand why its so hard for him to understand that simple premise.
I never intended for this thread to get into a larger discussion because OP would get lost in the real larger discussion of the original sin and racism. Criminalizing EWB is a subset of the larger issue and deserves it's own discussion.
Equal treatment is such a simple concept but why so many people fail to grasp?

Black people again being forced to justify their existence. Same request cop had of Yale grad student.Trooper fail. Once trooper found out what they were doing he should have thanked them for their community service and stayed there with his lights on for safety reasons while they were picking up the trash.
On May 5, African-American real estate investor Michael Hayes was inspecting a house he's interested in buying in a Memphis neighborhood.
He was pulling a board off the boarded-up home's front down when a woman next door came outside. Hayes said he waved to her. The woman, who is white, asked him what he was doing. He pointed to the sign he had placed in the front yard.
"I told her that I had a contract and that I was an investor," Hayes, who wanted to get inside the house to take pictures, told CNN. "But she wasn't listening to that. She didn't want to hear it."
She said he had no right to be in her neighborhood and should leave, Hayes said. Then she called the police.
The police show up
At this point Hayes, who often records his activities as a real estate investor for his YouTube channel, pulled out his smartphone and started recording.
He was rolling when a squad car from the Memphis Police Department rolled up. The video shows Hayes explaining why he was at the home to a Memphis police officer.
The officer, soon joined by a second officer, seems to be convinced that Hayes has done nothing wrong and tells him that if he has anymore problems with the woman to call him back over to the house "and she will go to jail today."
The officer then walks over to the woman's yard and talks to her, warning her to leave Hayes alone.
Clark's initial comment came in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's narrow decision Monday siding with a Colorado baker that refused to make a cake for a same-sex couple's wedding.
"He should have the opportunity to run his business the way he wants," Clark wrote. "If he wants to turn away people of color, then that('s) his choice."
