Seriously, what's with the recent trend of white people calling the cops on black people for trivial reasons?
We had people call police on a black people for golfing, going to the bathroom, sleeping in a university commons room; the list goes on.
But now we have another doozy. A woman calls the police on a black family who were doing nothing but barbecuing in a barbecue-designated zone. Her reason? Well apparently it's because they were using a charcoal grill in the wrong designated zone.....what a crime!
I'm so glad our resources are being put to good use to protect public safety.

"A white woman called the police on a black family at Lake Merritt in Oakland, California, last month while they were setting up for a day at the park.
Their crime, according to the unidentified woman, was grilling in one of the park’s designated barbecue zones using a charcoal grill, instead of a “non-charcoal” grill.
The April 29 incident was filmed by a witness named Michelle Snider, who confronted the woman for calling the police on the family. In recent weeks, a number of incidents around the U.S. have involved white people calling the police on black people and other people of color for such activities as sitting at Starbucks, staying at an Airbnb, taking a nap and participating in a college campus tour.
Police responded to the incident but did not issue any citations, according to Oakland Councilmember Lynette Gibson McElhaney, though the family was detained and questioned for one hour.
“In a city that needs significant policing services, we can’t have those precious expensive resources squandered in a frivolous way,” McElhaney told HuffPost."
