This is absolutely much ado about nothing. She buzzed herself in, he tried to push past her without buzzing himself in.
You can see her say several times, the keypad is right here as she attempts to close the door behind her. He states that he doesn't have to show her anything, and he's keeping her from closing the door behind herself.
I'm sure the residents are warned numerous times not to allow tailgaters.
But she doesn't call the police until after he uses his key to go into his apartment.
Do we have the video from the door cameras, so we can see everything that happened, and why she felt "uncomfortable" about letting him enter?? No. All we have is victim boy's cell phone video.
The story is in the video. She was going out to walk her dog and he was coming in. She said he did not use the keypad and first he said he did and then he said it didn't matter and that he lived there. She said to use the keypad and he refused. Then it turned silly but it all could have been avoided if he put in his code.
Which is pretty damning of her trying to be the female equivalent of Barney fife. But I was specifically responding to why she was fired from her realtor job. They saw enough on that video to make the call. And it was their call to make.
Mob injustice is okay, if her employer joins in? She may well have a great lawsuit to charge her employer with.
All those unanswered questions, and the mob does not care to hear the answers, because "she's a white racist" drowned everything else out.
Why did she confront him for tailgating - because she's a racist!
Why did she even care about apartment security at all - because she's a racist!
Why did she insist he code in before proceeding into the apartment - because she's a racist!
Why did she ask for ID to prove he lived in the building - because she's a racist!
Why did she follow him down the halls and into the elevator - because she's a racist!
Why did she call the police after he went into an apartment - because she's a racist!
Officer! Officer! I saw a black man use his key to enter his own apartment! He makes me uncomfortable! Do something!
I seriously believe she was hoping the cops who showed up would be white and would agree with her that this black man doesn't belong in "her" building, and maybe take him out in handcuffs for having the audacity of believing he should be allowed to live there. Or that they would simply break down the door and shoot him.
Seriously, what other outcomes could she have been hoping for by calling the police after he used his key to enter his own apartment?
At the point where she called the cops I could easily believe it was in spite. To "get him in trouble" for defying her. After all, if she didn't believe that he belonged in "her building" it's not much of a jump that she would believe that he had something to fear from an encounter with the cops. That is the only thing I can get from her actions AFTER she (a) saw his entry fob at the time she was blocking the door - a fob that likely looked just like hers and (b) watched him key into his own apartment. Any other explanation would require a level of stupidity beyond what even she showed in the video.
I don't know how anyone who has watched the video can defend this woman, she is very clearly in the wrong. I'm impressed with how calm the man is able to keep himself.

I'd like to see the apartment door video.
If all she did was make the false assumption that he snuck into the building and was afraid he was not a resident, and called the police, why do people think she should she be fired from her job?
I hope she sues her gutless employer. I would have promoted her and given her more responsibilities.
I believe Missouri is an employment at will state.
