Winston-Salem police were called to a private community pool Wednesday afternoon after a white man asked a black woman to show her ID.
Video of the incident was posted by Jasmine Edwards to Facebook and had gotten nearly 3 million views by Thursday afternoon.
On Twitter, the incident was trending with the hashtag #idadam. In the video, the woman referred to the man as Adam. Hundreds of people had tweeted about it, with some tweets tagging the man's alleged employer.
Attempts to reach Edwards and the man were unsuccessful Thursday. The Glenridge Homeowners Association later identified the man as Adam Bloom.

Something needs to be done about all of these fake calls to police.
They need to be ticketed or arrested.
I am so sick of this shit.
This country is teetering on the edge.
Trump wants a race war.
He has wanted a race war since he rode down that escalator.

I liked how our Winston-Salem Police Department handled this situation.

As if a woman and her child would illegally break into a gated community to steal some pool time? Oh, but of course she first stole a keycard to access it.

How do they know the whites were residents there? Did they check the white IDs? Why not? Just keep asking...
