Before smart phones and recording, this likely wouldn't be a story. Sadly smart phones exist and make these stories stories.
I was just talking to the DW about the last night. Just imagine all the "injustices" that occurred before camera phones...smh. Now everything can be filmed for the world to see.
Who hasn't, at some point in their life, been falsely accused of something? This seems like a fairly run-of-the-mill incident. The real outrage is, of course, the continuing campaign by mainstream media to convince the world that African Americans are under threat from crazed white racists. I just watching NBC Nightly News from the 28th on YouTube here in Japan. It featured not one but two black victim cell phone outrage stories, this one plus the guy that was shot by police. National media only runs these types of stories when they fit the narrative.
That is the entire issue in a nut shell. I don't accept a reality where that is run of the mill, I don't want to walk into a lobby of a hotel the day after Christmas and have a person accuse my son if a crime based on the color of his skin. That can not be run of the mill, we need to do better.

It is more than we realized until everyone had a smart phone and was able to record the incident.
The woman looked like a crazy, hysterical fool. She made a fool out of herself. They have pictures of her face circulating now. She should be shamed and charged.

When it comes to suspicions and reports of possible crimes, there are false positives, which may offend and inconvenience people, and there are false negatives which result in crime victims. The media wants to convince you that false positives involving black people are the worst thing imaginable while false negatives hardly matter at all. And it looks like they're succeeding.
