I'm sorry, but I don't see this as being a matter of "color". There's too much information we don't know and it's entirely possible that a separate event in the same area was the reasoning behind a large response. No department is going to waste that degree of resources on a simply "burglary". I think this author is looking to make this an issue of race when it simply was not. Descriptions of people when [potential] crimes are being committed often include skin color. Why? Helps narrow down suspects and provides identifying information. She just happened to have a neighbor who did the right thing: called the cops when they suspected a crime.

> I'm sorry, but I don't see this as being a matter of "color". I vehemently disagree. You know why? Because the cops actually showed UP to a burglary 911 call. Been shown multiple times that in an area of influence, the police are much more likely to show up than an area of poverty. > No department is going to waste that degree of resources on a simply "burglary". They sent 17-19 police officers, plus dogs. The only thing I think of off the top of my head that even warrants that much response is perhaps a street brawl? Or street racing? How many people did they honestly think was breaking into ONE apartment that 17-19 police officers showed up as a response? > I think this author is looking to make this an issue of race when it simply was not. Again, I disagree. Both officer and 911 caller both described the person doing the B&E as a Hispanic MALE, and they detained a Black FEMALE. I would assume as an adult, that one could at least tell the difference between a man and a woman, especially if that person is a police officer.
