"A black firefighter was reported to police while conducting standard inspections around homes in Oakland, Calif., according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
In a separate incident the same day, the uniformed firefighter was questioned and videotaped by a resident who considered him suspicious.
“From the outside, it certainly appears to be unfair and unwarranted,” fire Capt. Damon Covington, president of the Oakland Black Firefighters Association, told the newspaper. “The fire service is a microcosm of the world. Racism exists in the world, and it exists in Oakland and everywhere else.”
Kevin Moore, a firefighter with the Oakland Fire Department, was reported to police last month while conducting vegetation-management inspections, according to the Chronicle, which noted that inspections can be conducted even when residents aren't home."

Kentucky Fried Juden - Shut up, dork. it's their comment section...
The Young Turks I am just going to laugh this time because if I commente one more time about these white people was wasting time and Don't have anything else to do I am going to be crazy so just laughing for know😂😁😀
Juck Fuden
got it. thanks
We need a law where we can arrest people who calles the cops for false reasoning
There is one we just don't enforce it.
We already do it just doesn't apply to white people.
Depends on the area but I imagine many municipalities have fines for misuse of public resources.
I think north Korea and China have a law Like that..perhaps Russia as well..
You know it's against a person..to talk to the authorities..hence...the miranda..
Or any authority..which supersedes..
Human rights.
They warn you..
They detain you
They place you into a catagory such as a person.. a citizen ...a home owner a driver. And so on.
Which brings you into their corporation..and statutory law..
Human right..is you already have liberty..
There are laws that cover false reporting. Plus there are civil laws that allow people falsely accused of crimes to sue those who made the false claims.
the police need to start ticketing people call them for unnecessary rediculous things
Luckily for some Americans, being a stupid asshole isn't (and shouldn't be) a punishable offense lol
Yes it should e. They are wasting police Resources and by extension they are endengaring lives.
Agree with you
Wastement of police resources. Yes, they deserve a ticket.
The only way they would consider making that a law is if Blacks start making false calls and in that case, the law would be "discretionary" just like open carry seems to be.
That caller should be arrested. Theres gotta be consequences for this shit.
UTX Training Exactly but nothing seems to happen🤷🏾♂️
Yes consequences would be a start. No consquences this might give people a clue
Many places do have such laws. They just are not enforced t9 often.
So when your house is burning down.... do you request IDs before they put the fire out.
Tayien Mayian for real tho I hate racists👎🏾
Kid n Play right! I never understood that kind of thinking. Makes no sense.
Mitchell Folkes 😒 I cant entertain this type of thinking. I hope you contribute to America more then these negative words.
Mitchell Folkes You do realize that you are talking to a BLACK WOMEN who also has a job and paying taxes. I’d prefer if we longer have this conversation because it’s very inappropriate. I really hope you have time for growth in your life time because hate takes you to the grave faster.
Tayien Mayian why are y’all black men leaving y’all for white women
Start a petition to fine ANYONE who calls the police over some idiotic reason. Minimum 500$
Newton Sparetire jail time and a $1000 fine would be better.
Newton Sparetire bet they'd stop calling!
I agree but it will only happen if black people start calling police on white people
Yo!!!! Great idea. Imma see how I can start 1
They do that with the fire department why not do it with the police department too.
Black while working. We don't even need drugs or guns to be guilty. Smh
Let him stop the fire man and ask for ID when his own house is on fire.
Right??? "Ma'am, give me a minute and I will find a white firefighter for you. Hang tight".. 🔥 🔥 🔥
This is too ridiculous to be true...I mean what was the call like...
"911 there's a black man tried to save my neighbors house!!"
The perfect karma would be her house is burning down and the fire department shows up. The same black firefighter says to her, I can’t put this fire out because I look suspicious remember.
Curtis Reid 😂
Curtis Reid 😆😆😆😆
😁 😁 😁
Better yet what if the fire was started by dry brush, but he couldn't inspect the property to avoid just this. Now that is carma
Curtis Reid that would be perfect 👌🏾
Fire fighting while Black. Damn! That's a new one.
ShaunieBNaturalista are you stupid
Trippe Red Are you?
Hey, Trippe Red!! Did you even watch this video? Or are you jumping from video to video making brain-dead comments? I award you the "My Poor Empty Head!" medallion. It is a lovely medallion, well, except for the big hole in the middle.
clarice525 from my understanding this person is saying that black people are not firefighters . That is a dumb statement. Are they saying something else?
Trippe Red + Yeah you missed something .. ShaunieBNaturalista is basically pointing out that nowadays you can't do anything when you're black because people will call the cops on you as if its a crime . She is basically saying that's its a ridiculous epidemic that is going on and that if you attach any action to While Being Black may be considered a crime .. Examples Walking while black, BBQ'n while black , Air BnB'n while black, having an expensive car while black, moving furniture into your apartment while being black etc... Like damn can we live
This will never stop untill theres a fine for false reporting.
It's against the Law.
There already is a fine. It just so happens these people aren't fined, because, you know, "upstanding citizens" (aka white middle or high class).
Imagine black cop shows up to his call and he calls cops again...
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
That's sad 😂
Something similar to that has already happened, believe it or not.
😂😂😂
The firefighter was trying to protect your backyard from a potential wildfire spreading. BE GRATEFUL!!!!
That Oakland Hills fire was devastating!
sailorgirl4life There’s a reason why I said “potential,” madam.
THE JACK HQ the point that it was a black person, does not make a difference. If it was a white person, it would have been ok
Nina Davis Well, regardless what makes up the firefighter’s identity, he was trying to set up preventative measures for fellow neighbors, and someone bullied him. It’s totally outrageous behavior.
I would let that bitch burn
Anna: "I'm tired"
Me, a black American: "Me too"
mmike10720 As a white European I am as well. I really feel for what the average black has to tolerate on a daily basis in the USA.
mmike10720
Me three
Make that 4
5! (6 on behalf of my husband)
mmike10720 feels like I was born tired at this point.
Are they going to call the police on a black police officer next? Smh
It's happened many a time
🤣😂😂😂😂
There was a case of a security guard pulling a gun on a black police officer who was in *full* uniform. Called the cops and refused to let him leave until the cops arrived. Called the cops on a cop...
@@pr4208 yes exactly it has already happened
@@G1rl0nline already happened
Clearly he spent $100,000 on a fake truck to steal their used BBQs...
Damn man the dedication
So what happens when they call the cops on a black person for doing his job, and then a black cop shows up
ReezyBeBreezy they call for more police because they dont think he is an officer .
ReezyBeBreezy
They call back, claim the man's homies showed up & that they're now afraid for their life because one of em definitely has a gun!
They call trumps direct line and he comes running in slowly from down the street a bit to save the day.
The racist head explodes
ReezyBeBreezy 🤯
A lot of Black people have shown loyalty over the centuries and got screwed over and over and over. What's new?
I used to be a volunteer fireman in Millcreek, (Erie county PA) and this has happened to me a NUMBER OF TIMES while responding to actual emergency calls. Being met and stalled at the door by a family member or the caller and getting asked "what are YOU doing here" after CLEARLY been sized up happened a lot in Millcreek. This was before Erie FD initiated that weak attempt at having affirmative action to get more blacks in the service. This was back in the early 2000s. I just came across this video and being its 12 years after I fought my last fire Im not surprised its still going on. P.S. to the guy in the comments that said this is fake news, I wish you luck on your "fake emergency" if there are any people of any color who has the misfortune of being obligated to help you.
They should arrest the person that call
Awhile back there was a Black Comcast employee who was out on a service call at a customer's house who had the cops called on him. He was in his Comcast polo with his Comcast van. The cops even questioned him in front of his van and used the hood of it as a desk to write a citation that they gave to him. How long until we get the cops called on us just for existing?!
...give it one month. That'll be next. *sigh*
Really that is what all of this comes down to. The example of the comcast guy, this fire fighter, they not only did nothing wrong, but they were exactly where they were supposed to be, so the only reason they had the cops called on them was because they exist.
+MrJuicekrew nobody's gonna tell your mother if you swear man, it's all right
MrJuicekrew I mean I get your response but several Caucasian performers do the exact same thing but if people of their complexion do the same things blacks do to get unjustly punished, no one bats an eye and accuses them of injustices. So I would have to disagree. I suppose some of our music performers aren't necessarily helping our image(though there are a plethora of equivalents in other racial groups), it does not even remotely justify nor explain the reasoning behind the nonsense. Thank you for your input though.
MrJuicekrew Not all Black people are like that. You get offended when Black people lump all White People together,and yet you do it to us. You are quite the hypocrite. There have been Black people in the past and now who have been and are fighting for us. In the past it was people like Malcom X And Martin Luther King Jr. Now it's people like Maxine Waters and John Lewis. Along with a lot of us younger Black men and women. We have been fighting and will continue to fight no matter what.
Anna's "I'm tired" statement and tone is 86% of America 😒
smh...I know...but we can get better and I really believe that
Brah I live it daily. Wake up tired
Considering she used to have to do these segments on racism from at least once a month, to once a week, to once a day? She more than deserves the right to say "I'm tired" by that point, as does every other American who is sick of this racism bullshit.
I just wish there were more Americans who felt that way.
Travis Hilden actually no white people are still around 60% of the country so only about 40% of us are actually really tired. You have white privlage and you need to use it to help people of color, you need to join a police department in a major city n try n take down the klansmen there. If you cant do that for us then how can you say that your tired?
Obviously not if the shit keeps going on.
The fact that the cops did not arrest the person who made the call, is really concerning.
Adam Silesia link the story. False rape accusations from women are bad. My take on things like that is the woman who makes the false allegations. Should go to jail for the amount of years that the guy would go to jail for. She will also have to be a registered sex offered. Because I believe that everyone should be punished equally under the law. So then if you see stories of police killing unarmed black people is okay. Then you should make sure that when anyone else gets stopped by the cops, they deserve to die as well
These a-holes that make such frivolous calls to the police need to be fined.
What's next a cop being called on a Black Judge in court?
They hatin black people because they're so beautiful can't stop being beautiful
beauty got nothing to do with it
@@justnope5358 got a lot to do with it. Black is beautiful
I was a sales manager for years in GA for a big landscaping company. During the summer we would inspect our customers Trees and shrubs, my staff that were black would get calls all the time, and the ended up deciding to wear Technician uniforms and us white employees never had the same issues. Also, to protect them I had to be careful what areas I sent them to make sure they didn’t end up in a dangerous situation, I could not put a policy like that in writing or even discuss it, but it’s a mean cruel world we live in and the areas I would send them were safer and actually would buy more too because it was more educated wealthier areas. I got promoted and left that branch but I stayed back 2 weeks cause I wanted to see that I trained the new manager personally because imo their lives would be in danger if sent to the wrong areas.
That's sad!
Janet Campbell it is, it’s a mean cruel world we live in. I also had a job in Iowa one time. I was a regional manager at a gym chain. I hired 2 black dudes, one in my mid town club and one at my corporate at sales managers and all hell broke lose. I almost got fired over it. They told me if I ever hire a black person from then on I have to get permission and the owner was Korean. I quit and moved back to GA. I never seen it coming. The Midwest seemed more openly racist in my experience. A lot more crazy details about it but I don’t want to write a book. Those guys actually stayed there for a long time. There were great hires, leagues better than what was there. I was in cultural shock, but it gave me a real glimpse at systemic racism in businesses
I live in Ga and you're right😔
Michael if you think I’m liberal you don’t know a thing about me, I just got a maga with a UGA simple as the G. I support Trump but, that doesn’t mean I’m racist. Like the main stream media likes to make people think. What do you mean by waycissm? I know it’s some sort of racism, just wondering what the “way” is for. They didn’t tell me not to hire blacks, they told me not to with out them knowing and approving. I wouldn’t make it up. It was 06 I think in Cedar Rapids, IA. Iv never been told before or since not to hire someone based on anything but experience. But no liberal here, but I try to look at every issue and think for myself, not just what the party says to think.
Michael 10-4, I see what your saying. Thanks brother.
Did the caller think some black guy stole a fire truck/uniform?
Some random guy stole million-dollars truck and fire uniform just to steal their apples on the tree lol
Shes tired. Just imagine how black people feel after time and time again juat trying to live.
trump brought em all out the closet...
Marc Touss Nope they came out when Obama was President.
Jeanette Johnson,You racist Trumptards ALWAYS blame Obama for everything.
?????? ?????? She wasn't blaming Obama. The racist came out because we had a black president. Trying to blame everything on him because he's black but loved the Bushes war mongering ass. Sending our children to die to make them rich.
Doc Holiday Thank you! I was about to say the same thing!
Jeanette Johnson um? What? 😂 seriously makes no sense at all cause im pretty sure ever since trump became president, white ppl thought they finally had power after obama left
This is pathetic why is racism still a thing
Team FM Reborn Trump brought them out of hiding
@@Daniel-sm9pw figured that racist s.o.b had something to do with it
Cuz of white people
The citizens that keep doing this needs to be put in jail! It would cut down the calls hopefully.
Once upon an Indie you mean, WHITE citizens don’t you? Because.......they are the only ones in the videos doing the calling....
ruby scott yes I do
ruby scott absolutely. And it's disgusting and getting out of hand. I don't see how the receiver are so calm with them because I would have started swinging as soon as they started getting in my face
Michael this should be interesting. How are we rascist? The firefighter wasn't doing ANYTHING wrong! And the ones who call the police over stupid shit are well stupid. So please enlighten me on what I'm not getting? So unless he did something that I just didn't catch then they never should have bothered him.
Michael nope go back and re-read. And for the most part it is whites doing it. But I NEVER said it's only whites. You assumed that is what I meant.
"I'm tired" is the best ending phrase for this story. Aren't we all?
Ren Bond then get your white dumb brethren together !!
Cozy Cool " BLACK" People are Tired . The ones who actually deserve to be tired.
He noticed his tennis shoes... But not the firetruck...
Seems legit....
The5armdamput33 😄😄😄
🤣🤣🤣
The5armdamput33 ROTFL
lmao!
white people came to america and pretended not to see shirtless people on horses with feathers in their hair living in triangle houses. they said no one was here. white people see a whole fire truck with a fireman in it but hes not a fireman? they look at videos and say it doesnt tell the whole story., they see guns in peoples hands when everyone else sees a cellphone. white people are unreliable as witnesses just ignore whatever they say.
People who call cops for stupid reasons should be charged.
Charge them
I think there should be $10000 Fine for making false accusations. Then everyone will think twice before calling cops
And 6 months suspention at half salary, no pention match for a year. Loss of sick time, vacation time. No promotions until psychological evaluations are meet black community service. Loss of union membership( life time), no over time. And on and on.
@@joedirtjr5375 Sounds damn good.
I had that happen to me once. I was working at Burger King back in '99 and we were closing. It was just me and the manager. While she was doing the end of shift money count, I went outside to smoke a cigarette. I could've left but normally I wait around til she finishes the count because she a woman and I didn't wanna leave her there alone. So, I finished smoking and was about to walk inside to check and see if she was almost finished, 2 cops roll up in the parking lot and a white lady that was parked by dollar tree behind the store jumps out her car and says, "THAT'S HIM, RIGHT THERE!!" So the cops called me over and asked was I trying to break in the store, WITH THIS FUCKIN BK UNIFORM ON!! I'm like, really? I had to call the manager out the store to confirm that I actually worked there because they didn't believe me!! Again, I'm in full uniform, nametag and all. I still got frisked and my name ran. Smfh..
Did they frisk you and run your name before or after the manager confirmed you worked there?
You should have sued them and the lady. You gotta hit these mfs in the pocket.
puddingwithoutatheme I was put against the car and frisked first. After they took my lighter, smokes and the few bucks I had in my pocket and put it on the hood of the car, he then asked my name while the other cop went in the store to call the manager out to confirm I was an employee. Again, I have the hat, shirt, and greasy ass slacks on and still was questioned..
Soul Dezyur 2 reasons why that didn't happen... 1, I was only 17 at that time so I didn't know any better.. 2, That shit is normal where I'm from! (New Orleans to be exact) It has calmed down a bunch since the 90's but back then, cops would roll up, slam your ass against the car and make you take all your shoes and shit off! What's worst, it was black cops treating black people like trash! The white cops would have a lil compassion..
Bernett Dews I didn't know any better then. I was only 17 at the time. But like I said, that was the norm around my way. We were taught not to go in certain "White" neighborhoods by our parents in fear of being shot at. I stayed by this subdivision named Lakeview. The highway separated the black neighborhood from it. There was a store that we'd go to that would take you about 5mins on a bike. Because we weren't "Allowed" to go through that part of the neighborhood because the white people would either shoot, let a big ass German Shepherd loose or call the cops, we had to go all the way around that area just to get to the store. Smh..
When I was on FD we got shot at as we drove up long driveway. Guy told cops he didn’t know we were fire dept even though we were driving a fire truck.
Spoooder min loves Dolan Trump, your getting your time in there nothing wrong with that. 🙄
kanimo24 people really have nothing better to do with their lives let them be as long as it keeps them from killing themselves its alright
That's a disgrace.
supersean3 ,Actually, the negative effects of trolling are pretty severe ,it reinforces certain synapsis you see?
Woooow...
I was thinking the same thing. Why would a "criminal" in broad daylight have a red firetruck parked nearby???
What I'm thinking is since when does the fire department send a lone firefighter in a fire truck, dressed in turnouts, to do a household inspection. In MOST localities I've ever heard of, inspections are carried out by the Fire Marshall or a Chief. They also don't tie up a piece of equipment just to do a home inspection.
@@im2yys4u81 maybe their was a whole team and they spread out to different houses on that street. Or the black man himself is the Chief
Those 1.4k people who disliked this video are the same assholes who would have done the same thing to this Black fire fighter! Racism is out of control in this country! And it makes us look like hypocrites, hateful and ignorant!
Other countries must think we are all insane
It makes America looks really backwards and totally nuts tbh. I have to keep reminding myself most Americans aren't racist morons, but those that are drag you all down with them. It must be such an embarrassment to nice, normal, decent Americans. It's ironic as well because so many Americans bang on about being the 'land of the free'. Yet black people get the police called on them for doing their job, taking birthday photos of their own baby in a public place, going into their own apartment, babysitting a friend's white kids etc etc. Basically for being black. *That's not freedom.*
People need to learn to mind their own business over petty things, use their common sense and treat people with a bit more respect, it's become ridiculous. There should be some sort of punishment to deter the idiots who do it, they're wasting valuable police resources on a load of nonsense. As well as victimising innocent people.
Those people who abuse the 911 call system need to be fined and spend a couple of days in jail... to educate them.
The city should fine these citizens.
The DA needs to start filing charges against these clowns who call in false calls to 911 due to racism.
Full uniform and a fire truck! Maaaaaadness! What hope do we have 🤣🤣🤣. These people must be scared of their own shadow!
The person who made the call should be fined.
Start handing out TICKETS/FINES to folks calling 911 for nonsense.
These people who call cops on people who don’t look like them, their asses need to be fined.
Apparently a big one.
Lets start making calls on suspicions white people.
I agree. It’s ALWAYS the blacks being targeted.
I read about this story yesterday. I was speechless then and I'm speechless now.
BTW, if someone asked me for ID while I was trying to save their life, I would have left the racist idiot right there and move on to saving someone else.
The police should be arrested for responded to the call
I hope your joking
Yes! Finely some one smart! Understand core of problem, Exactly.. Cause what if call was fake? "divide and conquer"
police: 'we got a call'
I would believe that in 90's
Thinks change, when police through them weaked actions lost trust, I don't belive any call happened,
Probably they been in simple patrol spot the Man, jump from car and try criminalise using excuse 'we get call'
And teoreticly even if some call is not main problem, but how police, policing and behave, how they shall escalate problem, how they shall prevent not create more problem,
So Jonathan C. If you read that: no is not a joke. Cause tell me then.. as we opserve that police beating up, peaceful, unarmed cityzens none stop which part of 'serv and protect' it is?
Why wasn't the person interfering with the Firefighter not charged with Obstructing A Government Official?
And for the people who always say why does race have to be inserted into the conversation, damn it this is why!
💯
You tell the black man to get a job, then when he does, you harass him about his job. If you got that much time on your hands, maybe YOU should get a job, a legal one!
But Blackwolf MGTOW which one gets the tax write off?
People who misuse the aid of cops/911 should be jailed or fined perhaps community service. Crack down on this .
Can't these people be arrested for wasting police time
@@normandyf4234 this is so awful and very sad
Hahahahahaha just imagin when the cops show up and they would be dark colored. Would they be asked for id too?
Credit where due.. Trump has lifted up the rock and exposed the kind of creatures that live under it.
He was only lifting it because he was crawling out from under it.
Trump IS the rock.
This was happening way before Trump. Trump is a cancerous symptom, not the cause.
Sairam Sriram basically.
eprahs: Yes, this sort of thing did happen before Trump. Electing Trump was sort of like finding black mold in your house and instead of disinfecting and cleaning, taking that mold and put it into the air vents where it can spread and do the most damage. Now this sort of thing is defended openly and blatantly.
While I am not happy about some of the things Obama did, or didn't do, he did represent our highest values and inspire us to be better. Trump represents our worst hypocrisy and inspires the worst tendencies found in America.
Why don't these people making these calls get fined for filing a false report.
Because "America's Justice system" is an excuse for legal racism. Amoungst other retardation.
I’ve had that happen to me before - I’m a field repairman for the telephone company and I was dispatched to a trouble call - I showed @ the customer premise in uniform and my marked vehicle was parked in her driveway - she still made it a point to ask me for my credentials and was extremely rude and mean the entire time I was there.
People who (False) report need to be arrested.
GamingLaw your right but I don't think they are going to start arresting people they need to give them a hefty summons $$$$ .
Beaten then arrested!👍
id say fine them. one warning the first time, a 100 buck fine the second, and a 700 fine for the third time, and put their number on a list of people who have harrashed people by falsely reporting them to the police. dont ban em from 911, but make it so the operator who gets the call knows that that person has a history of falsely reporting people so that if they are calling just because they are 'suspicious' that they are most likely just using the police to harrash someone, and that in that case they should be ignored. repeated offenses should go up in severity, ether as a heafy fine that is more than 1000 bucks, community service up to 3 months, or jail time for up to a month. make it a three strike system, the first is giving them the benefit of the doubt, the second is a slap on the wrist with a firm warning of "hey seriously, stop giving us false reports or else you will get in trouble the next time" and the third is a large fine as well as being put on a list so they know they wont get police to come out just on their suspisions, but if they still need 911 for an actual emergency (like if someone was hurt or smthng) they still have it. and if they keep on doing it for a 4th time they get an extremely heafty fine that could be a whole paycheck, maybe 1 and a half if they are making minimum wage, or they could get community service or a brief jail time. i dont think it should be very long, just enough so they get properly punished and deterred from it.
I bet the neighbor wouldn't have asked for ID if that exact same firefighter was saving their lives.
Hahaha...are you sure about that?
leetfrogcat absolutely
White People who are dying in the ER have requested white doctors and refused to be seen or let their child be seen by a POC M.D.
How about those who call the police for bull be charged for false reports. If they start doing that it would cut down some of these frivolous phone calls and harassment. If I were an officer and I have to come out on some bull, I'm charging you! It's harassment a waste of time.
“Sir, do you know why I pulled you over?”
“No, sir.”
“You committed a federal offense.
*DRIVING WHILE BLACK.”*
capital offense in some states/cities/counties.
Shit, it's getting to the point where simply going out in public is a crime if you're black.
They need to start putting people in jail for false claims...literally people are being killed or abused domestically and they’re worried about a man doing his job
People get fined for calling the fire department for no reason. The same should be done for misusing the police, especially because people die sometimes as a result.
“I’m tired.”
Imagine how tired WE are.
This used to happen to me regularly when i worked as an electrician doing street lighting mainteance for the town of Hempstead in long island. When i worked with my white partner we would NEVER have problems gaining access to the backyard of properties where the fuses were but when i would be by myself or with a black partner the whole neighborhood would be up in arms following me around demanding to speak to my supervisor and threatening to call the police even though i was in an obvious town vehicle. I would just tell the people " listen im not going to beg you to get into your yard to fix your street lights" and just call my supervisor and tell him that im not gonna deal with this bullshit and he would tell me to bring the truck back. I would still get paid for the day and that street light outage would be put way back on the bottom of the list again. It made for an easy day. Now that i look back i realize just how disgusting that situation really was.
Is anyone surprised tho?
Sadly... No.
I'll be surprised when someone gets arrested for calling 911 unnecessarily
Actually I kinda am. Just when I didn't think people could get any dumber...they do
No...not at all.
jeso317 : Nope
Nope
Why is it they can release the black persons name but never the racist wrongful accusers name?
Agreed
Cuz they're white
for the safety of that white... sorry... unnamed accuser.
Skullabrin308
Ha!
Cause they know once the mf name get leaked his ass getting dragged. Sick and ffing tired😒
Why are these people not arrested for false claims?
Police need to start charging the callers who abuse the emergency call system. Frivolous complaints take resources from valid emergency needs. Until this happens people have no fear of misuse of 911 system. Enough is enough
Yep! Accountability on all fronts. Everyone is supposed to be held accountable for their actions. But they're not.
@@jay1185 well that's a good excuse it's been going on so hey let it continue
@@stephenjasmine7996 ? what?
When there's a 🔥, they should make sure to put out the home of the racists last.
Ebony's Circle News ...nope,let it burn.
well his house certainly failed inspection that day so a fire seems plausible
Them tiddies tho.
Ebony's Circle News love it sis
Ebony's Circle News blacks are the racist not whites
People that do this shit, calling cops for no damn reason, need to get fined for wasting cops time on BS calls, and if done repeatedly, community service, then jail time.
The young lady said she was tired. That is exactly how we as black people feel about the racism which we have encountered for oh too many years. We are tired!
But still you state 'we black' you 'white', I like what Morgan Freeman says: 'how about i stop call you whiteman and you stocall me blackman?'
stop watch fake media and lisening fake police Raports dear frend. Cause EveryOne are Tired of it!
Resist is not as big as media make it.
Stay Safe and Bless. ITS TIME TO GOOD TO Manifest TABLE Will TURN.
No need to laugh!!!! This is how black are treated in America
MS. ZEE I’m not black but this shit kinda pisses me off.
I’m surprise no one call the police a few year back . Police ,,,police,,, yes police I just saw a black men enter in the White House . He look suspicious.
They should be fined for wasting time when our resources should be used properly.
LOL, I have a friend who is mixed race and works as a construction inspector in our wealthy New England state. She was doing an inspection in a wealthy neighborhood had had the cops called even though she was in a marked government vehicle. Ironically, the officer who responded was black, they had a laugh.
I know this isn’t funny. I KNOW this situation isn’t funny. But I WISH the following had happened: guy calls cops, cop(s) show up...and s/he/they are black. In uniform. With a police car. Then who’s he gonna call? Ghostbusters?
I agree, this isn't remotely funny, but it would have been SO rich if your scenario had really happened!
To all Americans who believe you are free..... Travel
I agree. Traveling helps to have more perspective on our own culture.
Papers papers where are your papers! They don't feel black people are citizens entitled to the same rights and freedoms as themselves. Even though most black Americans have been in this country more generations; our ancestors were the currency and muscle that built the country.
Harajuku3000 but don't African American people ask for a cops identification when they get pulled over by a marked car, in a uniform? Double Standard much.
Rabid Rabbit No, not a double standard if you have at all been paying attention to the relationship between the police and people of color. You're stretching it!
Harajuku3000 we built the country but cannot enjoy any of it in peace.
Rabid Rabbit BECAUSE THEY PULL OVER BLACK PEOPLE FOR BEING BLACK, NOT ALL THE TIME BUT MOST. YOU MUST BE WHITE, NOT KNOWING WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE QUESTIONED AND STOPPED AND KILLED ON A DAILY BASIS DOR THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN. TILL YOU CAN LIVE AS A BLACK PERSON IN AMERICA, GO SIT IN A CORNER SOMEWHERE
I've been stopped and questioned while on the job, in Newtown Connecticut..because "they've been a series of car break-ins in the area". I do heating and cooling for a living, wear a uniform with logos consistent with the service van I drive. Common sense says don't go out and break into cars in broad daylight. It doesn't matter what you're covered in when the country is conditioned to see people who look like you as a threat.
RationalMinded that’s horrible...
Sheba Jones: Yep, and a reality for a lot of us. People assume we can't speak proper English; assume that we can't be architects, doctors or engineers and that if we are, it's a result of affirmative action. It's incredible, it's America.
RationalMinded so sorry.. stay up bro’ 😘😘😘
Broad daylight, dam
I’m so sorry that happened to you, folks don’t have common sense.But if you’re black by working even with your work ID and uniform you’re suspect
I think any time when someone calls the cops on a black man or woman and the cops find nothing then the money it cost to send the police out the person who called them should be hit with the bill.
There needs to be a rule for 911 operators that when someone calls in a “suspicious” person, they need to be specific and concrete in terms of what they suspect the person of doing. “Suspicious person” has become the catch all phrase for racists calling the police for no good reason.
I hear what you are saying but then it would be down to the operator once again...
Operator : is he black or white.
Caller : white
Operator : all vehicles stand down.
Sad but it's a possibility.
Sounds about white

100 points for appropriate joke
I love how you do not even try to hide your racism.
Your a horrible idiot.
*BobsGuns*
*sounds about **_RIGHT._*
Here we go again
RED WAVE got follow the law.
RED WAVE he did you moron.
RED WAVE They mention in the video that their standard operating procedure is to knock and check if the owner is home. So he did knock, but they HAVE to check your backyard, because wildfires are a huge threat in California
The black community will never be safe until all police presence is removed
Josh 97: I think the Cops were envious of Captain Covington's *hose.*
Next, police are going to be called on black police officers , you just wait
It happened! Go watch Roland Martin, he has a video of some idiotic white moron calling cops on the officer
There should be a fine for this... $1000
When are they going to arrest them for calling the cops and put them in jail for this and stop wasting time and money then way be just way be it will stop this is not right...THANK YOU
Who's the wiseguy that called the police?! The fireman didn't do anything wrong! Someone had a problem. It's always about race!
That's kinda the problem, it's hard to get a conviction for this because they could always "play dumb"... but I agree something should be done to these assholes, this firefighter is trying to save lives or prevent life loss in the future and they are wasting his time.
This Is America
This is fake news
Don't catch you slippin' up
''Trumplandia Uber Alles ''
Okay, you someone snooping around your yard. That alone is suspicious, but a real firefighter uniform is hard to come by illegitimately. Factor in a huge ass fire truck, and you have to know he's the real deal. You have to be an idiot to think he's a thief.
But residents should be informed first, so these firefighters can be safe. The next idiot might open fire without calling police.
I'm sorry but I'm so tired of hearing this happening!! The person that called the cops should be arrested! This is harrassment one million percent! Bet your ass if this person's house was on fire or they were in a accident they would be begging this
"black firefighter" to help them!!
California is a very racist place. My generation was born here, but our parents came from somewhere else, mostly the south. People brought that "southern" mentality to California. Don't be deceived by the sunshine and beaches, racism is alive and well in Cali too.
Ok this is just ridiculous! This is an example of someone that should have been fined for wasting the police time. 🙄🙄🙄
Start putting these people in jail for wasting the police time.
Indeed, yes indeed!
Calling 911 on 911... *ok*
“I’m tired”
MOOD.
Firefighters tend to be some of the most respectful, patient and heroic public servants. If you want to help people, become a firefighter or a paramedic.
Lord Falcon Testing to become a career Firefighter, been an EMT since I was 17
There has to be consequences for these idiots who are wasting not only the firefighter's time (in this case), but the police's time for having to come out for all these BS calls.
