Fine them for calling the police. That wasn't a mistake.

A dispatcher in Shepherdsville described the scene as that of "a male standing outside. He is naked. He has a robe covering part of his body. He is exposing himself, and he has a hose between his legs."

Where's the fire, lady?

This is how black people get shot, liars calling 911 and lying about what they see.

Lies told:
1. Not even a man
2. Not naked if he's wearing a robe unless we can call you naked if you're wearing a three piece suit.
3. Not exposing himself
4. Hose wasn't even between his legs

STOP LYING.

It's obviously a swatting-lite situation.  A neighbor with a grudge who wanted to cause trouble.

The good news is that the cops have their number and 911 misuse is actually a crime (as is using the cops to harass your neighbor) pretty much everywhere in the US.

The bad news is that because the cops converted this into a fun PR story, they're not likely to do anything about the person who caused the problem.

This is what happens when you don't allow 911 operators to decide that a call is not in fact an emergency and not dispatch a response.

Counterpoint:  There's a neighbor willing to SWAT another person.  While it's not an immediate emergency, if there is an available officer it's worth dispatching them to the complainant to let them know exactly how serious that is, and that there is now a police record of the attempt and they better knock that shiat off.

They already do.  Not every call to a 911 call center ends up dispatched to a patrol officer.

I never got the impression that Walker said or even implied that. He just opined that when people make false statements to law enforcement, Black people have been on the receiving end of ballistic injuries when police respond.

Whether or not his opinion is 100% accurate or not is irrelevant.  You are inferring something that was not asserted.

I just bought a 9 foot tall Santa. It was on clearance and won't arrive until January 3. Next year I hope to make Fark because I'm putting it up in my very white neighborhood and it's a black Santa.

I don't like black Santa because I'm pretty sure Saint Nicholas of Myra was Greek. Then again, he also wasn't fat, didn't dress in what looks like fancied-up Victorian sleepwear, didn't have magic powers, and didn't live at the North Pole with a bunch of tiny slaves making knock-off toys delivered by FTL flying reindeer.

Article, or photo description, says he even called in his neighbor to help ensure accuracy. Apparently took the first mannequin they could find. Based on his recent life and career trajectory it can't be that expensive to just pay Randy Quaid to stand in your yard and scream about shatters to passersby.
