A call to police was done in the past and a call to police will be made in the future.
Within the last few years, calls similar to the following have surely been made.
"Hello, there is black boy with a white lady walking down the street. They are talking."
"There is a strange black man walking in the neighborhood, he looks suspicious."
"There is a black lady in aisle no. 2 that is talking to her child, Please send someone out."
"There is a large black man banging on my door." He is quite menacing. Please send someone out, Please!"
"There is a man waving a gun in the park!"
Calling the police is the right thing to do when there is legitimate concern for one's safety and/or to protect others who may be in peril.
Depending on the adjectives and adverbs used by the caller, the response can be fast or about the average time. However, if adjectives such as "Black" or "Big", etc. the response time can be literally a few seconds!
Yes, the police were called and I thought that they did okay up to the point whereby the ID was questioned.
If there was a photograph of the graduate student on the ID, and the ID was a Yale University ID and the ID displayed the student's address and the student had a key to the dormitory room that coincided with the address on the ID, there is reasonable assurance that the young lady is indeed a student of Yale University.
Knowing that society is not perfect and that there are inequities built in in the system requires us to think ahead!
If police are called, then it appears that the graduate student should have proceeded as follows;
1. Greeted the police with a smile and handed two forms of identification - Student ID and Driver's License
2. Stated her name and briefly summarized the facts
3. Produced a folder containing copies of two prior monthly utility bills showing her name and Yale address
3. Copy of degree plan that displayed the major
4. Copy of the current semester's fee statement that indicate that she was enrolled for the current semester
5. Receipts for all books purchased for the semester just in case there was concern about the books being stolen
6. Referral letters from her pastor indicating that she is a member of a church
7. Name and address of her personal lawyer
8. List of volunteer activities
9. Copies of last semester's grade report card displaying the GPA
10. Copies of immunization records
A folder containing the above documents should be carried at all times!
Also, the graduate student should drive within the speed limit, ensure that all tags are current on the vehicle that she drives, pay bills on time, etc. to ensure that the frequency of future calls to the police are minimized!
Try again. I’m in my 30s and attained a postgraduate degree in my late 20s. I used paper, laptop, books etc.
Bro? My screen name is Reine. Reine means QUEEN in French. Obviously I am a woman.
French isn't a prerequisite to post but I do speak Spanish if you're keeping score at home.
With that in mind...
Hermana (or Reina if you prefer) at the very least "working on papers" doesn't necessarily mean you have physical papers strewn about your vicinity. I'd argue that it's not likely but whatever.
As Siyonbola says in the video, the woman who called the cops on her also called them on her friend a few months ago. His "crime" was being in a stairwell while Black.
PO: Ma'am, we need to see your ID.
Siyonbola: Yes, of course officer. Here you are (hands student ID to to police officer).
PO: Thank you. Now that we have verified that you are a student, we need to ask you to abstain from sleeping in the common area. It's against the rules.
Siyonbola: Yes sir/ma'am, I won't allow it to happen again.
Yes I’m sure the communists who attend Yale are extremely racist
Agreed. It’s very ironic when the left accuses anyone associated with higher learning as being racist. Professors and school officials are almost always liberal with their sweet liberal arts degrees and enthusiasm for socialism.

If you speak Spanish, then it should have been more obvious. The point is that the grad student was working...inundated with work. That tends to happen around exam time.

I'll try to do better.
I'm not allowed to assume genders anyway, remember?
The point is the student was sleeping. We don't know what was on her person or in her vicinity.
The exchange between the two students tells me it had nothing to do with race and everything to do with the rules of sleeping in that area.
