White Woman Calls Police After Patio Disagreement With Black Couple in NJ
"Susan has complained ever since they moved-in two years ago, about a treehouse that they built for their kids, and even the color of their house paint. But this time she called Montclair police after witnesses say she falsely claimed Fareed pushed her."
"When Montclair Police showed up, they not only determined that Susan's assault claims were false, They asked Fareed if wanted to pursue charges of filing a false report against her. He did not."
A caught-on-camera dispute between neighbors over work being done at a northern New Jersey home this week sparked a brief anti-racism protest march after video of the confrontation gained widespread attention on social media.
Fareed and Norrinda Hayat, who are Black, say they were confronted by a white woman outside their Montclair home on Monday about noon. They say the woman -- who they identified in a video as "Susan" -- had asked them repeatedly about whether they had a permit to build a stone patio in their backyard.
"She kept asking, 'Where's your permit? Where's your permit," said Norrinda Hayat, who on Wednesday noted that she didn't know the woman's name before this week.

spoke up that Susan was lying, and others later protested.
That is one way to break down race - based entitlement mentality.

So happy the neighbors stood up to Karen/Susan and the cops didnt overreact. The situation would be stressful enough knowing the police were on the way and I wonder if Fareed worried that his life would be in jeopardy once they actually arrived.

accusing them of doing to other s.
There is probably a better solution.
