Michael Hayes, a black real estate investor in Memphis, Tennessee, was inspecting a house in need of repairs on May 5. A white woman who lived in the neighborhood demanded to know why he was outside.

In a video posted to YouTube, Hayes explained that he was an investor looking at the property and that the person who owned the home knew he would be there. He also showed the woman an investment contract signed by the owner, as well as a letter showing that he had written permission to enter the house.

The woman, still suspicious of Hayes, called the police.

When they arrived, Hayes began recording his interaction with the officers, explaining that he had permission to be in the home. In a refreshing twist, the officers listened to Hayes and told the woman that if she interfered with his work, she would be arrested.

In a twist on recent racial profiling incidents, police officers told the woman they weren’t needed.

No shooting? No care.

On a serious note, I wish the crazy bitch would have done something so that they could have arrested her.

One of the great things about body cameras and smartphones in general is that they hold either person responsible if they're at fault.

ETA: to add that they hold either person at fault.

It looks that the woman is at fault. This guy filmed it perfectly. I hope this woman goes to jail for a good bit.

When law enforcement officers are summoned in situations when they’re not actually needed, callers — who are often white — create the potential for a violent encounter, or escalation. It’s a real reason to be concerned, given that police use force more often when dealing with people of color.


Are Asian Americans "people of color"? Weird how they conveniently get left out of these kinds of stats all the time.

And about that video; The White trashiness just oozed out of that behemoth.

In this day and age with crazy things like squatters rights, I don’t blame neighbors for keeping an eye out for abandoned or empty homes...but that bitch was just dumb and racist.

THIS is the norm rather than the exception. The race baiting media want you to think otherwise.

Any of these type videos are gonna get blown out of proportion anymore these days.

Real talk

I live in an all white neighborhood. Didn’t mean for this to happen, it just did.

So if i saw a black folk just loitering about, i would be curious wtf they were doing also.

That may be, but once they stated their purpose, that should be enough and given the same treatment you would give a white person who was loitering about.

I don't think you know what loitering means.

also... it's the middle of the day, he had a nice enough car, and had paperwork.

and it was an abandoned house.

if you take alarm to that, you're just racist AF

LOL, such bullshite. This is the normal response that never gets reported.

frick the liberal agenda and all liberals who follow it.

ETA: I guess I need to clarify for the down voters, that refers to the police response, not the neighbor's response.

It has nothing to do with him being black. The other neighbor clearly says the crazy lady did it to another person who was looking at that same house, but they can’t let a good racial incident go to waste, can they?
