A white woman (nicknamed Golfcart Gail) called the cops on a black father at his childs soccer game claiming he yelled at the referee, when he was actually just cheering on his son, according to local reports.
A parent at my sons soccer game had the police called on him for cheering for his son during the game, posted Ginger Galore Williams, with the header Soccer While Black. The unnamed dad had yelled The ref is right! when he saw his kid was frustrated by a call, but she took offense, Williams said.
Golfcart Gail decided to spring into action and rapidly approach this parent and remind him that harassment would not be tolerated. He informed her that he was only speaking to his son, Williams posted. The dad offered to leave with his wife to avoid a scene, but Golfcart Gail informed him she was calling the cops because she no longer felt safe with his threatening behavior, according to Williams.
This man was peacefully leaving his own sons soccer game to avoid exactly this situation, wrote Williams. Shame on you Golfcart Gail for what you did to this man and to the children who had to see this. Can you imagine how afraid his child must have been to see this happening?!
One of the deputies on scene can be heard on video telling Williams that its within the marshals right to call the police ... Deputies didnt detain the dad.

OK. Maybe not 100% convinced but it damn sure seems like it.

(115,673 posts)The one who tried to keep the guy from getting into his own apartment building was a younger Valley Girl type but most of them seem to be ample 40-ish ladies (that's not "older" to this ample old lady). They really must have some kind of organization.

(90,762 posts)But it's probably just that they feel more and more emboldened.
No idea why it seems to be mostly women in the 40's - 50's.
I'm in my 50's.

I've seen this many times, people with little going on in their lives other that the day-to-day monotony.
They're just angry people who cannot make friends because their anger drives them away, which increases it.
Their mates lose interest in them, probably having been beaten down for years into a submissive partner role.
Their marriage is completely dysfunctional, yet they try to put on the air of normalcy.
Their kids are probably verbally and physically abused too.

(61,588 posts)I suspect that these white, mostly middle-aged suburban white women (and sometimes men) all have Facebook pages, and that all their Facebook pages have racist propaganda planted by Russian trolls.
These are the same exact people who were targeted by Russian trolls in 2016.
They were racist to begin with - now they're racist and scared. Somebody is encouraging them.

"White people (Trumpanzees) should call the cops on any black people for almost any reason."
BBQ in the park... call the cops.
Try to enter the apartment complex where you live... call the cops.
Eating dinner in the dorm... call the cops.
Setting up a lemonade stand... call the cops.
Oh... and if the cops barge into your apartment by mistake... shoot the black person.
WTF is going on in this country... have they lost their collective minds?
Was this a secret "lets start the race war" message sent to all Trump supporters?
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,673 posts)Trumpism has also probably emboldened some people to be more personally aggressive about their racism.
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)I think the apartment woman and the woman at the Oakland park both said something along those lines, and here it is again with the woman at the soccer match.
Instigate an incident based on little more than your own prejudice, when you meet resistance declare that you don't feel safe and the bad black person should go away now, please. NOW!

I'm willing to wager he didn't shake the mans' hand either.
