Minnesota Woman Calls Police On Black AC Technician While He's Working, Sobs Uncontrollably And Clai

Claims To Be Threatened

Alonzo Harmon, a Black man who works as an HVAC technician in Golden Valley, Minnesota, is outraged after his client called the police on him, sobbed hysterically while speaking with the operator and claimed that he’s threatening her. Harmon recorded the woman as she was crying on the phone, then posted the video on TikTok.

Standing outside the garage as the woman was calling 911, Harmon listened to her claims and struggled to believe what was happening to him.

According to The Daily Beast, a police spokesperson said officers responded to the call and “spoke with the gentleman recording the video.”

“He left with no further investigation taking place involving the incident that was called in,” the spokesperson said according to The Daily Beast.

Given how LE treats AA males.

He was right to leave as soon as he realized he was being set up.

How many innocent black men were killed by the cop back then? How many times was the Karen's story what got printed in the newspaper?

I had a MAGA woman 5 days ago, working at her family's shop berate, harrass and went beyond rude then lie about what I even said to her. WTH. She turned later into hysterical victim to her family. I feel for this man.
