The woman in CA who called the cops on the guys grilling? She is employed by Stanford University

Report: Identity Of White Woman Who Called The Cops On Black People At A BBQ Has Been Revealed

The white woman who called the cops on Black people enjoying a barbecue in Oakland, California at Lake Merritt has gone viral. There have been countless memes created and while she tried to police people, she has become the laughing stock of the Internet. However, because she wore sunglasses, her identity has not been revealed — until now. Thanks to Twitter researchers, she is about to be a household name.


Allegedly, her name is Dr. Jennifer Schulte and she is associated with Stanford University (it’s not clear if she teaches there or if she is just alumni). See her alleged photo below:




According to what appears to be a now deleted LinkedIn page she is a “Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) focused in Chemical Engineering from Stanford.” Sounds like Stanford should have taught her some lessons in humanity.

"Dr. Jennifer Schulte is a Sr Project Manager with ERM based in Walnut Creek, CA with 10 years experience as an air quality climate change specialist"

Given this, perhaps we should consider that she equates charcoal grilling to genocide and would have called the cops on anyone?

I think we can see from this episode she's pretty tightly-wound...not to stereotype PM's, but....

My dad grew up in oaktown, drove truck out the oakland teamsters union hall most of his career, i was born in oakland, my brothers were born in oakland. i been to about 150 sporting events and concerts at oakland coliseum. Been to Oakland many 100's of times. I knew that was lake merritt from the STILL of the video, with no description 'where it was' in the OP I responded to.

Now come to find out she even works in Walnut Creek. Which is where my parents live, and have since 1982. I graduated HS in Walnut Creek. Prior to that I've lived ALL AROUND there. After that I lived all around there. Mostly in Walnut Creek. Don't anymore, but in fact I'll be there .. tomorrow.

So please believe me when I tell you ... the likelihood that an 'entitled white racist Trumper' as she was described chooses to live on the shore of Lake Merritt in Oakland ... is VERY LOW.

What we DO have a TON of in this area ... is entitled busybody NIMBY types. Most of which are left-leaning.

Hate to burst bubbles, but there ARE some jerk liberals, too.

We have a guy in my neighborhood who uses a bike lock to lock people in the Children’s Play lot park near his house if he sees them with a dog.

Dogs are not allowed but neither is unlawful restraint and kidnapping. There are a few guys looking to give this guy a beating.

Iirc, there were only like 60 trump votes in the two precincts near my house. And they are very densely populated precincts.

One of the articles I read on the subject said the charcoal rule was enacted after a toddler stepped on hot coals and was burned. This happened to a friend of mine’s kid. A pile of ashes doesn’t look like much to a kid in bare feet but can burn several hours after the ashes are dumped.

I hate park nazis almost as much as Illinois nazis.

She's gone off the deep end with her air quality issues. Who would have guessed a PhD from Stanford U. Not me. I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that she simply is a zealot about air quality.

And I hope this is the right person. People have been misidentified in the past.

It's enough that the article has been written and everyone in the area knows who it was. Whoever posted her pic did a bad thing. She might even be hurt. There are some crazy people out there.

we have no real way of knowing if that's her.

Righteousness means never having to say you're sorry when it turns out to be the wrong person and honestly I don't give a fuck that eventually they get it cleared up - that doesn't make up for the harassment and bullying they endured in the mean time. Not to mention family and friends who are stalked and harassed as well.

OP, will you post a retraction and apology for contributing to this mob justice mentality if she's proven to not be the woman in the park?

Oh, you used the word "allegedly". . . . guess that makes it alright then.

Are you being serious right now?

I said at the time that there's actually no evidence this woman acted from 'racism', but I was ridiculed by the DU PC police. How BLIND could I be?!? It's ALWAYS racism when a white person call police on black people. HAS TO BE.

I said, no it actually does not ALWAYS 'have to be'.

Confusing benign speculation with a braying mob certainly does illustrate a bias.

I get it though... we're often forced to use more colorful, though much less accurate terminology in order to better stroke our biases at the expense of objectivity.

that names someone as the offender with "evidence" that would be better suited for an episode of Maury than any sort of credible journalism.

The mouths and chins and even the foreheads are different. The way the hairline flows back is different, the lady on the right had a "baby" lock to start her hair flow, the woman from the park does not. Be careful with this. Remember the engineering researcher who was misidentified as being at the Nazi march in Charlotteville when he was a thousand miles away having dinner with his wife and child?

Jesus Christ, white people need to get a fucking grip! My heart breaks that people have to go through this experience day in day out from birth until their death, which is usually untimely because of white people bullshit. I've pretty much lost all hope for the human race because the assholes will always drag the rest of us down, no matter how hard we try to make things better for everyone.
