None of what transpired was premeditated. The father willingly put himself in that predicament and you know it, too.

All the father had to to was listen to his son and walk away. Even better, if the father was so insistent on calling the police, he could have done so anonymously after the fact, instead of accosting the black male and preventing him from entering the building. This way the police arrive on the grounds of receiving an anonymous call, in regards to a black male allegedly trespassing on private property.

Management assists the police in reviewing camera footage and tracking down the black male and verifying if he is in fact a resident at that particular building. And, all of this happens if the police arrive, come to the conclusion that the black male is a threat to the occupants/residents of the building and ought to be tracked down and detained/arrested.

This call is a waste of police time and services. Call for real emergencies and don’t clog up emergency service lines with irrelevant and preventable pseudo emergencies.

And in America’s racially motivated sociopolitical climate, it seems like police are shooting and killing black and brown people for asinine reasons, rather than opting for deescalation tactics and less than lethal options, if the subject is unarmed.
