The police work for the public. Am I responsible if I tell my employee to just go deal with someone and that someone gets roughed up? The first time? The 10th

  They very clearly do not take orders from an ostensibly racist 70 year old. That's beside the point, because she wasn't giving orders; she was complaining about her neighbours on the internet, not to the cops. Lastly, it would be extremely surprising if she'd done the same thing twice, let alone ten times. It's clear that she was in the wrong for being bitchy on social media, but how could she have predicted the outcome? In what sane world do the police seek out unfounded accusations on social media then act on them?

    > how could she have predicted the outcome? I don't think it's hard to predict that police will harass a black person in a white neighborhood if someone complains, and my guess is that it's not the first time it's happened in that particular neighborhood. > In what sane world do the police seek out unfounded accusations on social media then act on them? I would guess it's not the first time the police pulled a report from Nextdoor. > In what sane world I don't know, but if that's your premise, this particular world must be very confusing for you ... :)
