San Francisco lawmaker proposes CAREN Act, making racially biased 911 calls illegal

on a Filipino man stenciling ‘Black Lives Matter’ in chalk in front of his own residence in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights,” Walton said in a news release.

He noted that California law made filing false police reports illegal but explained that his legislation went further by designating discriminatory 911 calls as hate crimes and providing civil remedy for people harmed by such calls. “Under existing laws,” Walton said, “there are no consequences for people who make fraudulent emergency calls based on the perception of another individual to be a threat due to their race, religion, ethnicity, religious affiliation, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or outward appearance.”

California Assemblyman Rob Bonta, who represents Oakland and serves as assistant majority leader, proposed similar legislation at the statehouse. An amendment to his AB 1550 bill would also designate discriminatory calls as hate crimes and provide civil remedy for those harmed.“We must not allow people to use our 911 and law enforcement systems as weapons for hate,” Bonta said.

How the f is that not illegal . It’s illegal if brown or black people do it

'Hi, there's a black man threatening me.' 'What's you're skin color, ma'am?' 'White.' *click* 'Hello?'

Should’ve called it the JUSSIE Act or the SMOLLET Act. JussieSmollett

I love the picture for this headline. Who would normally stand out in a tailored suit in the middle of a city street with their hands in their pockets, chest out in the middle of the day?

Great. Another “Karen” reference - and now this “lawmaker” wants to make a law... All this does is make people that mind their own business angry.

Was the K changed to C to appear less racist?

I knew it was going to be either Seattle, Portland or San Francisco to do this stupid crap

Why is calling white women “Karen” not racist? If everyone started calling minority women by a name normally associated with that minority, it would be considered racist. Just pointing out the hypocrisy

We are living in a comedy show.

and what is the process to PROVE that a call is being made for 'racially biased' reasons? it's a kick to see SF leftists, who can't stop people from shitting in the streets, yet believe they posess the intellect to know what was going on in another's mind weeks or months ago.

I’d be surprised if it didn’t pass

Gavin Newsom caught wiring half a billion dollars to communist China in massive face mask money laundering scheme

Absolutely!

If anyone is threatening me black, white or purple, I'm calling the cops. And a 'threat' is whatever I think a threat is. It's not up to you to determine my threat.

this guy is a moron. how do you even prove that?

You know he tried so hard to make it the KAREN act but couldnt figure out the K

Won’t pass with a name like that sadly. Stupid calls shouldn’t be made

I'm just gonna say that this should have been a thing. But we all know that it won't stop 'karens'(racists) from making stuff up to get the cops to pull up and shoot someone. By that time it's too late.

Best time in history to be a black rapist.

Meanwhile many people of color have no homes.

SAN FRANCISCO IS A KAREN.

TheBlackChannel Don't be fooled, making false police calls is already a crime. The key is to make sure they are punished for it.

TheBlackChannel Calls like these should be considered a hate crime... NoAntiBlackRacism CutTheCheck

The irony of using a racial slur as a name for anti-racism legislation

TheBlackChannel TheBlackChannel made this happen

Ummmmm that's just racist in general

'Instead of fixing the problem of violent police officers, we will add another law that will provide the opportunity for for police officers to inflict even more violence.' -shorter shamannwalton This law will be used to arrest a Black person that police decide lied w/o evidence

karen with a C act

What are your thoughts on Louis Farrankhan? 🌩️

'Hello, 911, there are people in my house threatening me, please help!!' 'Don't worry, first, tell me what color their skin is, we need to know if we are going to take this seriously.'

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

False 911 calls are already illegal?

Trump is a Karen we don't need. CancelTrumpSong
