Viral video shows white man calling police on African American man who was waiting for friend; in a blog post, the man explained his decision to call the police.

A white man was captured on a viral video calling San Francisco police to report an African American man who had been waiting for a friend.

“Daddy, go. It’s the better, I agree with him, daddy. It’s the better. I don’t like this. Let’s go,” the son can be heard before he began to cry. "Upon arrival, officers met with both parties. The reporting party stated an unknown male followed closely behind someone entering the building to gain access," according to the police statement.

"I noticed Wesly Michel caught the door and entered the building without using the callbox," Cukor wrote."I did what came naturally and asked where he was going. I want to be clear on this point, this is something I do regularly, regardless of who the other person is."

I lived in Oakland in one of those apt. Bldgs. across from Lake Merritt, where you regularly see people let themselves in or get buzzed in. Many times I saw people (of all descriptions) 'hitchhike' on a buzz. It is tough to bust on them, but you do think about it. Design flaw.

Old news. He had a great explanation and they are both satisfied. Move on

It's insane to be In a position where this scenario is so ridiculous that I find myself feeling the urge to be an apologist for the actions of racist white people

In 1976 my mom was attacked by a man waiting in the lobby of our building. She was a waitress coming home late and a man tried to rape her. He was waiting in the lobby.

Why didnt the guy say the names of the people or person he was waiting for? Why didn't he simply go to the apt? What if he didnt call and a women was attacked? He did the right thing. Better safe than sorry.

I understand Cukors reasoning for challenging Michel yet its the little boy who saw the possible tragic outcome here. Kids today live in a world where the most innocuous of happenings between white and black people can end in seconds with devastating life changing consequences.

people making a telephone call is news?

👍

I call the cops on black people all the time

It depends on his tenant rights of the property. If he’s paying for that security feature, he’s justified in seeing that it’s enforced.

If people think he was being racist, they’ve never lived in SF. All races are ready to rob you every second. I’m ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED TO BE the first one to smack a racist but I watched the video and that’s NOT WHAT THIS WAS.

What makes no sense is what if he was dangerous? You put yourself and your son in danger! This excuse is idiotic unless your Batman then pls🙄

If the man piggy backed he’s an intruder. He refused to cooperate. Doesn’t matter his color.

Why make this news?

“I’m afraid of black people because I’m a big dumb baby” wow dude radical honesty

You failed to mention if they spoke to his friend in the building?

If the guy piggy backed onto someone else's key card and then refused to identify himself he should have been reported to the police or to building security.

Stop trying to explain away your racist tendencies, I’d bet my paycheque that if that man was white, you would have held the door for him

BS propaganda to foment racism by nbc

“I’m sorry my actions caused Welsy to feel unfairly targeted due to his race.” So basically he isn’t apologizing.

Bull manure

Another day, another racist.

What a pretentious asshole and self absorbed snob chriscukor is Not only did he bbqBetty someone, he did it in front of his crying, pleading son who will now forever be on a viral video. And he works for YouTube ? wow... maybe he shouldn’t RacistChildAbuser

Human beings didn’t born racist. I could not hear my child begging me and not hearing he or she 😢 The feelings I get when at the pools in Canada where white folks wearing dark sunglasses while in the pools... hmm

So black people can get away w/ breaking rules as long as they didn't break the law. And white people can call 911 for dumb reasons. That's where we are as a country. Unless someone is explicitly racist, we shouldn't label them racist. Unless someone breaks the law don't call 911

Was Karen busy?

Hmm?🤔 A white man walking up to a black man minding his own business demanding to prove that he belongs is the height of white privilege. Make no mistake, the white man called the police on the black man because he’s a racist. The video is outrageous.

In his click bate blog post...

Folks on Twitter believe you don't have the to tweet your opinion . No I don't care for his explanation the man was not bothering anyone, he began the confrontation. Instead of leaving it he further showed his ignorance by calling the police. not the solution your the problem

Why tailgate inside a secured building then get your feelings hurt when someone calls you out on it? White guy should've handled it differently tho. Since he wasn't in a rush to go anywhere, he could've waited for the guy's friend instead of calling the cops w/ his kid there.

Would have been better if he'd explained his actions there and then. Also would have set a good example for the little son.

The thing as well was, the guy was waiting for his friend who’ is disabled...boy did he look stupid!!

Fuk his explanation. Let's hear the son asking the dad not to call. Or the guy that was waiting having to deal with this bs

What a jackass, doesn't he know that you should never call the police for any reason

There is no explanation

War with Iran? Really nice read... Iran USAIran USAWar USAIranWar Trump TrumpIran iranpresident khomini HassanRouhani nucleardeal

Listen to the child!!!!

This girl is just dumb

I've seen people post that he works for Youtube, is that a thing?

How about minding your own business and going about your day? You're not a security guard. Someone can potentially end up physically changing you, forever.

I would do the same if someone comes to my building and I see an irregular entrance

His decision to call thee police was racist no doubt about it.

Tailgating is an issue in most major cities but this guy Condo Chris handled it all wrong. He could have just said, “sorry I can’t let you, you have to wait for your friend to let you in” and left. No altercation or police involvement was necessary.

Here’s what you do. Because it looks like it happens to often. Have a big ass sign on the door “NO Trespassing. Resident has every right to ask for ID to non-resident. No if’s or but’s. No tailgating allowed.” HAVE A SIGN or the resident pay for a doorman.

FacebookerMK1 When you upset the life out of your child who has more sense than you.

The new Trump culture. The white man should be charged with harassment.

Our building has a policy that we don’t allow people into the building that we don’t know. If I don’t recognize them, I ask them if they are a tenant & if they say yes, I ask to see their keys. Otherwise, I let them know of the policy. He could have handle this better.

What an ass

Unless the blog post said: “I’m a racist scumbag”, I’m not interested.

Kids don’t see colour at a young age. You should have listened to the child, you could have learned from him.

And by the republican senate leader, we don’t need black reparations in this country. Sick.

Awful just awful

I call the cops on black people all the time
