Honestly, I've called cops on cops before, no need for them to be black. One because they were an undercover cop who did not identify themselves adequately and acted suspiciously, second another (or maybe the same) undercover cop that was driving recklessly through the streets almost causing accidents without even a cop light/siren. I'd probably even call if they were in uniform and acted suspiciously enough so dispatch could double check. Cops are workers and they are human, they are not above you or illicit activities themselves, recordings have proved this. I would call, just not place the blame on them while just sticking to why the circumstances aroused concern.

And even generally, calling official numbers to confirm a situation is even something that is increasingly becoming necessary with the number of scams coming out. I realize racism was probably a factor here, specially if they are calling while cop cars are outside and there is clearly a crime scene being investigated, but seriously, don't think this means you have to think twice about reporting suspicious activity if they are cops.

That's what you get for being a race traitor, buddy.

If only they had the common sense to be angry at white pigs too

To be fair, cops can't just randomly look into people's houses, so this guy could have been mistaken for a police impersonator.

This country has horrific systemic racism, and that might very will have instigated this scenario.

On the other hand, if there's a guy prowling between the houses of my neighborhood, even if he's in uniform, I'm going to call the police to make sure it's legit, and I'm going to describe him as best I can, including skin color.

Don’t be a cop.

Fucking black cops 🤦🏿‍♂️

well good thing you signed up to protect this system

Where is he, Patrick?

At the intersection of Conch and Coral.

That's where I am! He's right on top of me, but I can't see him!

You would think you'd be used to being a subservient whipping boy if you become a cop while black.

I bet he had a gun too!

Cool story, still a bastard.

I mean, being real, I'd be less worried if it was some random dude.

But, whoever called that in just saw some dude in dark clothing fucking around. Unless you get the right line of sight, you aren't going to be able to see the few shiny bits on the typical dark blue uniforms. Especially not with a flashlight bouncing around, while you're looking out a window carefully.

Frankly, if a cop isn't wearing something bright enough to be seen through a dirty window and it be obvious it's a cop, it's on them if someone sics an angry goat on them.

Living while black, not even once.

Still sounds suspicious
