White woman calls police because her black neighbors were building a patio on their own property
A woman in Montclair, New Jersey was caught on video reporting a Black family to police after disputing their right to build a patio on their own property.
Video of the incident was shared on social media. In the video, the woman claims a resident of the home assaulted her when she encroached on the property.
One of the homeowners, Fareed Nassor Hayat, identified the woman as “Susan” and claimed she works for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
In a social media post, Hayat accused Susan of filing a “false police report” after demanding to know if he had a permit to install a patio on his property.
“She invoked centuries of brutality in her call to the police and sought to put her black neighbors back in their place,” Hayat wrote. “But to her surprise, her efforts were met by two proudly black human beings, parents, lawyers, law professors, activist, community members, neighbors and fighters, who refused to submit.”
He pointed out that a “collection of largely white neighbors” pushed back against the woman’s assault claim.

Whenever I have (Back in the old days) friends over for dinner on the screened porch, my neighbor decides this is the moment to mow the lawn, starting right back 10 feet from my porch. She has an ugly stinky compost pile, also right on my property line a few feet from my screened porch. She sometimes parks her car so that it blocks my mailbox. She was so angry that I asked her to move her car so the letter carrier could get to the mailbox, that she no longer speaks to me and loudly slams her door and mutters loudly whenever she sees me outside.
And you know what? I have never ever ever called the police on her. It would never occur to me to call the police on her.
It's a news story because this resident on video called the police, knowing that it could end up with the neighbor being arrested (we all know that black people get arrested even when there is literally no crime being committed). It's a cautionary tale too--- "Don't do this, people. Don't be assholes. It might get your neighbor killed. More important to you, no doubt, it might get you viral on video."
Some assholes need exposure to realize that maybe they don't want to be a VIRAL asshole. This is actually for their own benefit! 
and I have concluded, "Her loss!" I do great barbecue, and she'll just have to sniff the wonderful smells and salivate while all the nice neighbors chow down.
