On moving day this past Friday, Martin got an unexpected visit from the NYPD. "I'm in my apartment but, you know, you can't go nowhere without the cops following me," he said in a video posted to social media. It turns out, someone called 911 to report a burglary in progress and the suspect, the building's new tenant, Martin. "Somebody called the cops on me in my own building. About how many are y'all? About six of y'all showed up, rolled up on me," he said. "That was the only time I had to move, and I didn't think anybody was going to call cops on me. I mean, I was moving into the building," Martin said. Without skipping a beat, Martin went live on Instagram, documenting the encounter with authorities. An investigation later determined there was nothing criminal about Martin's activity. He tells us his skin color along with the gentrifying neighborhood along 106th Street were obvious factors that led to police being called.

It's like people are calling the police on black people for shits and giggles just to see what will happen. There was a Twitter thread I saw last year where this black guy talked about being in CVS or something (some pharmacy-type store) to buy shampoo, and he sees a cop walk by with his gun drawn. Doesn't think anything of it until the cop comes back by, points the gun at him, and begins screaming for him to get on the ground. The guy immediately complied and survived, and ironically enough, had no issue with the cop afterwards. Nor with the store clerk, who had called the cops. His issue was with the 911 dispatcher, who took a call for "suspected shoplifting" and somehow transposed that into "active armed robbery". --- "Shut your filthy whore mouth."- AB "But if I shut my filthy whore mouth, I can't use it to be a filthy whore.

Romulox28 05/02/18 9:34:37 AM #9:	i think this was fair & not racially motivated at all. anyone who lives in NYC has probably heard of the latest crime trend, known as "reverse robberies." due to increased police surveillance, forensics, etc, regular robberies are pretty difficult now and reverse robberies provide criminals with an easy way to make a big score. the way it works is simple: a criminal will case out a an apartment in NYC, noticing the schedule of the occupants and the time they are away from work. When the occupants decide to go on vacation (which is common in NYC since living there year round is so depressing), the criminal will strike. First, the criminal will load a uhaul with (often stolen) furniture and boxes, such as couches, dressers, coffee tables, and kitchen appliances. He or she will then proceed to go to the apartment under the guise of a moving tenant, carrying the furniture up 5 flights of stairs. If he or she sees a neighbor, the criminal might say hi and invite the neighbor to come over for dinner sometime. Once the "move" has been completed, the neighbor will go into the apartment to steal whatever 2015 MacBook Pro and Forever 21 jewelry the occupant might have stashed. He will load these into a briefcase. From here, the criminal will spend the rest of the time pretending to "live" in this home, all under the guise of making his big escape before the customer returns from their vacation. He will pretend to "go to work" for 8 or 9 hours a day, where he will unload valuables into his car and wait in the parked car for hours, and he might even invite guests over for a "housewarming party" where he will offer the guests "hors d'oeuvres" and "sangria." Then, the occupants return and the criminal departs, leaving them none the wiser and wondering where all this new furniture came from. The neighbors might go to the returning neighbor and say "hey, Moira O'Flannigan, this might sound crazy but I could have sworn last week that you turned into a middle aged black man." This is a major problem in NYC and I think it makes sense that you guys fly off the handle about the racial aspect without having the facts and context. --- http://i.imgur.com/LhwwG.gif <cite>Romulox28 posted [p:900671683] in Police cal...

[t:76572001]...</cite> <quote><cite>CableZL posted...</cite> <quote><cite>Romulox28 posted...</cite> <quote>i think this was fair & not racially motivated at all. anyone who lives in NYC has probably heard of the latest crime trend, known as "reverse robberies." due to increased police surveillance, forensics, etc, regular robberies are pretty difficult now and reverse robberies provide criminals with an easy way to make a big score. the way it works is simple: a criminal will case out a an apartment in NYC, noticing the schedule of the occupants and the time they are away from work. When the occupants decide to go on vacation (which is common in NYC since living there year round is so depressing), the criminal will strike. First, the criminal will load a uhaul with (often stolen) furniture and boxes, such as couches, dressers, coffee tables, and kitchen appliances. He or she will then proceed to go to the apartment under the guise of a moving tenant, carrying the furniture up 5 flights of stairs. If he or she sees a neighbor, the criminal might say hi and invite the neighbor to come over for dinner sometime. Once the "move" has been completed, the neighbor will go into the apartment to steal whatever 2015 MacBook Pro and Forever 21 jewelry the occupant might have stashed. He will load these into a briefcase. From here, the criminal will spend the rest of the time pretending to "live" in this home, all under the guise of making his big escape before the customer returns from their vacation. He will pretend to "go to work" for 8 or 9 hours a day, where he will unload valuables into his car and wait in the parked car for hours, and he might even invite guests over for a "housewarming party" where he will offer the guests "hors d'oeuvres" and "sangria." Then, the occupants return and the criminal departs, leaving them none the wiser and wondering where all this new furniture came from. The neighbors might go to the returning neighbor and say "hey, Moira O'Flannigan, this might sound crazy but I could have sworn last week that you turned into a middle aged black man." This is a major problem in NYC and I think it makes sense that you guys fly off the handle about the racial aspect without having the facts and context.</quote> None of this is relevant to this incident at all.
