It was over sleeping in the common area, not being black in it. Don't know if there's a rule against napping in there.
Then we get to this...
Reaffirms the student taking issue with the black kid sleeping in the common area.
If it's a rule the girl should have went to the RA and reported the sleeping student. Confronting her was not wise.
The student who called the cops handled it badly but this much I can guarantee you having worked on a college campus in terms of security: if a campus police officer asks you to produce an ID you have to do it as you CONSENTED to those terms as part of your admissions.
I dont understand why the cops even responded. Is sleeping in the wrong room a crime? It is like asking the police to force a student to make their bed and they actually show up to do it.
They have to respond. At that point they didn't know what they would find - they're going strictly by what the nutcase told the 911 operator.
The 34-year-old grad student in African Studies unlocked her dorm-room door in front of police to show that she lived there, but they still asked for her ID. "We're in a Yale building and we need to make sure that you belong here," the other officer told her.
First-she's a 34 year old woman-hardly your typical, expected college student. 2nd, she's sleeping in a "common area" when she has a dorm room. There is EVERY REASON for the police to be called on such a person. There is no obvious reason to conclude that she's a student (due to her age and action) and every reason she's just another bum flopping there. The caller, and police, did nothing wrong, and there is nothing to indicate that the incident had anything to do with race. Well, except in the little mind of the whiner that wanted her 5 minutes of fame-and a CNN editor that wants to promote an agenda.
Normally I detest the race card being played at the drop of a hat. In this case? I don't what the motivation was. racism or a product of the over sensitive hysterical culture. The culture where we should panic and call the police every time something offends, scares, worries, intimidates,looks or thinks differently than you. The person who called the police was most likely raised in a culture where they have a safe space in every room.
The police did their jobs. Unfortunately they will be slandered for it.
Don't blame the hammer if it is used like a hammer. Blame the idiot swinging it.
Should the girl be suspended or expelled? I don't know. She definitely needs to grow the hell up and learn to mind her own business.
edit:
If I was on the jury if said black student were on trial for thumping said panic attack student. I woulda quit on the grounds of self defense. The black student was attacked. The white students weapon was the police. I would agree with the retaliation.
Oh, so the girl who called the police should not only be suspended or expelled, but get her ass kicked as well? Yeah, that’s appropriate.

It's a graduate dorm and she looks within the age range of a typical graduate student.
Students sleep in common areas of dorms all the time, especially around the end of the semester when people pull all-nighters in every empty space available.
Another case of hysterical white woman using cops as a weapon. In what universe don’t you see people sleep in al sorts of places on a college campus??
Her own words clearly demonstrate she was upset that a person was sleeping in the common area. It had nothing to do with race.
If there's a rule against sleeping in that area then the upset student should have went to an RA and reported it. Confronting the sleeping student was not going to accomplish anything.
Also, I have zero doubt in my mind that part of admissions is you agreeing to produce a student ID if asked to do so by campus police.

Yep. All you can do as a dispatcher is relay the info to the officers.
