Also in other "reported by neighbor for walking around" stories of this sort: An Indian man visiting his son was reported as a 'suspicious black man walking around' – and was bodyslammed to the ground by a police officer for "not co-operating", which ended up leaving him partially paralyzed. The cop walked free. [1]
Maybe the police themselves should implement filters like Nextdoor.

- lostlogin 10y agoI'm imagining the post from a high up, non-white police chief saying he had been around police for years and hadn't noticed any problems. However he was truely shocked when they shot 19 black man to death one month.
