Racist people will defend this woman. People who are extremely "anti-racist" or seeking an agenda will attack her.
Luckily the guy had a camera. She got fired. He dude got in. Move along.
Exactly. The same clique of usual suspects. Most of them are on the way out though so no worries. They win a couple battles but are losing the war big time. Acting more prejudiced will only accelerate their demise. The writing is on the wall.
But...the obvious answer would be for the woman to close the door and the man to rekey.
Either should have suggested that at the very first, but neither did.
Why did the woman never say, "Let me close the door and you can key in yourself?"
Why did the man never say, "Just close the door and I'll key in myself?"
That's what makes me think something else had happened before the video began rather than the man simply attempting to tailgate.
Whatever happened at the door, I would have happily written off as a woman being extremely cautious. And in St Louis, I would excuse it. It's that she rode with him up the elevator, followed him to his apartment, watched as he let himself into the apartment with his key, and then she still called the police. Whatever was running through her head, to call the police goes beyond reason.

That would have been resolved right off the bat with, "Let me close the door and you can key in."
And I'd consider the man obnoxious if he had not agreed with that simple request.

This women was did not think this through on several levels.
A small blonde with a toy dog confronting a man much stronger than her - and then continuing the confrontation after being told to stop - and then following him into a enclosed space to keep pressing what small leverage his politeness granted her. S

The problem being that the man had already keyed in.
I don't think she was coming in. I think she was leaving. To take her dog out to do its business. As she opened the door to exit, this guy was coming in. She had been handling her dog, so she hadn't seen him key in. He went to enter, she blocked his way. He told her he had used his entry card or fob or whatever, she decided not to believe him. And even after showing his card/fob/keys, she refused to believe him. Even after he named the building's managers, she refused to believe him. Finally, he pushed through.
And even at this point I would have excused her as just being extremely cautious. But she proceeds to get in the elevator with him, she proceeds to follow him to his apartment, she proceeds to watch him let himself into his apartment with his key, and she proceeds to call the police. She went way beyond reasonable.
I hope she sues her gutless employer. I would have promoted her and given her more responsibilities.
She has no case.
