Ohio woman falsely called police on Black man using his phone, said he was carrying a gun

A Hudson resident who works for Summit County, he was at the Portage County Job and Family Services building parking lot off South Chestnut Street for a 9 a.m. training meeting. Cooper got to the building early, signed in and went to sit in his car at about 8:47 a.m., drinking tea and talking on his cell phone.

Cooper was the only Black man in the parking lot in a Mustang. He says he doesn’t understand how the caller would have seen a gun in his hand, especially if she was across the street. The caller identified his car as black when it is dark grey, he said. She did not identify him as a Black man, but she did identify his car.

Story continues“I am happy to be able to share this story because my wife almost lost a husband, and my kids almost lost their father, over someone who thought I had a gun, but it was my iPhone, and the person did not have the correct color of my car,” Cooper said. “When someone’s life is on the line, as mine clearly was, attention to detail is of the utmost importance.

“We want people to tell us if they see, or in this case, if they feel that they see somebody with a gun. We will, of course, investigate all those complaints,” Smallfield said. Cooper said Friday that he had spoken to Smallfield again after Smallfield spoke to the Record-Courier and Ravenna Police had sent a detective to speak with the caller.

Eight Portage County departments are certified by the Ohio Collaborative: Aurora, Brimfield, Hiram, Kent, Kent State, Mogadore, NEOMED and Streetsboro. The process does not cost anything for certification, according to China Dodley, public information officer with the Ohio Department of Public Safety, and the agency will work with local police departments who want to be certified.

My God have mercy on all the racist people in our country. Please save them even those in the church who have a form of godliness but deny the power of God. Jesus only.

'Karen' white Republican women up to their old tricks again.

A modern day Carolyn Bryant.

WHITE PEOPLE STOP IT!

laloalcaraz Did she 'call and make a 'false report,'' or make a 'false call'? I'm thinking a false call is a non-call.

'The caller identified his car as black when it is dark grey..... She did not identify him as a Black man, but she did identify his car.' But, YAHOO finds it necessary to include the man's skin tone in the headline....racepimping & shameful.

laloalcaraz She should be fined or arrested for wasting everyones time and intentionally causing distress to an innocent person.

The police blew this one. For a person to have a gun in his car is not a crime anyway. Now, if the person has a gun and is acting suspicious and doesn't have gun license, then that's illegal. His color, black, was the real issue here. And, I'll betcha the 911 caller was white.

The blacks need to get used to this now. They can run wild in their own hood, but not in polite society thanks to calls for Defunding the Police. The return of the Wrong Side of the Tracks Protocol, and they asked for it

So did the police arrest her? Ignorant people are a huge part of the problem! These 'Karen's ' allow KKKULT45 to flourish!

Karen

kookoo.

The 2nd amendment only applies to white people apparently.
