Bit of a problem with this.

Black Americans offend at about five times thebwhite rate and this could very well end up with emergency services not being called when your black neighbor is in the process of beating his wife to death, fur fear if being accused of racism and being arrested.

More like the Karen Act.

Bullshit, but what do you expect from the state? Perhaps it should be a crime to waste police time, to make fraudulent reports etc. Perhaps it already is.

Wasting police time is already illegal.

so is lynching, but that doesn't stop the same people in congress from attempting to pass anti lynching bills over and over and calling their non-compliant colleagues racist.

I knew it was California before I clicked, but expected it to be Oakland.
