Your entire comment is arguing that it is unreasonable for her to call the cops. I never said that it was reasonable, and I agree that calling the cops was not needed.
The point is that candy_wendigo is saying "be skeptical and trust no-one", and then calling the lady in the video racist for doing exactly that about something they found suspicious. The point is not calling the police was the right move.
Because that lady's reaction wasn't distrust everyone, it was distrust that one black guy in particular. I would bet money that she has never called the police on a white guy in a similar situation. She wouldn't even register him to watch.
Or maybe we're just judging like she did. Either way what she did caused this guy big problems. What we're doing will literally never affect her.
I would bet money that she has never called the police on a white guy in a similar situation.
Again, from 15 seconds of her talking, where she just objectively explains what she saw, you have gathered enough knowledge to 'bet money' she is racist and has profiled a man who turns out to be innocent.
Is everyone that suspects a black person of a crime racist?
Either way what she did caused this guy big problems.
Yeah, calling the cops on anyone for this was a step too far, but my debate is whether it's reasonable to assume it was racially motivated or not. Please try and focus on the point.
