Some guy, who is marginally White calls the police on an African-American man politely waiting for his disabled friend. The Caller's young son is pleading with his day to leave and not do this--but the smugness of Doorman Chris' face says it all.
It's a two-part video:

Heres part 2 of the video.Link to tweet
A Bay Area man was caught on camera calling the police on an African-American man who was reportedly waiting on a friend at his apartment building.
A video of the confrontation between a black software engineer and a white man began circulating over the weekend. The video went viral when Tariq Nasheed of Foundational Black America shared it on Twitter on Saturday.
Im going to call the police, the white man on the video says as his child begs him not to.
The black man advises the white man that hes recording on video.
You dont need to threaten me, the white man complains before telling police: Theres a trespasser in my building.
Daddy, please dont, the boy tells he father. I agree with him, daddy. Please dont! I dont like this. I dont like this. Lets go.
He appears to be African-American, the white man explains to the 911 dispatcher.
Listen to your son, walk away, the black man says. Ill stop the recording.
Dad, lets go now, the son insists.
At that point, the African-American man notes that he has to help his disabled friend.
The white man can be heard continuing to complain to police.
He refused to identify himself, the white man adds.
The white man was identified by activists as a YouTube employee. However, Raw Story has been unable to independently confirm his place of employment. The man reportedly deleted his social media profiles after the video went viral.

The fucking guy just phoned in a bogus 911 call. The brains must be on the son's mom's side of the family.

(5,127 posts)black skin. Would he have called the police on a white person? Would he be insisting that a white man tell him his friend's name? GTFOHWTBS! The audacity of him trying to exercise his white privilege here. I really want to see punishment for people that abuse the 911 system. There really needs to be stiff punishment so this nonsense can stop.

This is not to excuse or explain the man in the video, who is being a racist ass and being mean to his child besides.
