I'm a black doctor. My neighbors called the cops on me for listening to Biggie.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/my-white-neighbors-called-the-cops-on-me-for-listening-to-hip-hop/2018/05/28/54930d04-4fbe-11e8-af46-b1d6dc0d9bfe_story.html?utm_term=.90575aa93773


Knock knock.

Who could that be? I wondered. It was such an aggressive knock — definitely not friendly — that I froze. I finally stood up and walked to the door. I opened it with purpose, ready to confront the person on the other side.

He said: “Your neighbors called the police for a disturbance.”

It was 3 p.m. on a Saturday last fall.

-----------------

Then came the knocks.

On my doorstep was a man with a gun; it was a police officer. He spoke abruptly and was frightening.

“Is someone else in here?” he said. His hand was near his hip, close to the gun in its holster.

“No, I’m alone,” I blurted, startled.

“I need to see your identification.”

“Why? I live here.” I felt bullied in my own apartment.

“I have to report this incident, and I need your identification.”

Feeling helpless, I reluctantly turned and walked to get the license out of my wallet. I handed it to him. “So what happens now?” I asked, deflated.

I doubt his neighbors knew whose music he was playing. The two plausible explanations I see as likely:

* The music was cranked up so damn loud that the neighbors would have called the police were the song, "Sing, Sing, Sing" or the "1812 Overture";

* "Biggie's" music, like much rap and hip-hop, is laden with foul language, misogyny, and violence; the music was loud enough for the words of the Gangsta Ballads to be understood, and the neighbors didn't want their children's ears and minds filled with F-Bombs and brags about what the "singer" does to his hos and wants to do with police officers.

Both is highly likely. The tell-tale that the reason the police were called was how obnoxious the guy's use of the music rather than his favored artist or style was that neighbors called. A neighbor might be racist enough to complain because (s)he hates rap-hop, whose artists are mostly black. But when multiple neighbors call it's because the dude was being obnoxious (possibly intentionally, since he's now race-baiting).

I see no reason why her neighbors would find this song offensive, blasting out on a Saturday afternoon.

I remember, during the April of my freshman year at college, there were a few days with stupendous thunderstorms.  One afternoon, as a front was closing in on the town, someone across the quad (over 1/4 mile away) put on Ride of the Valkyries at maximum volume.  It was rather amazing--the music was going in prefect time to the flashes of the lightning and peals of thunder.  We would sit on the metal fire escapes in aluminum lawn chairs and drink beers for the duration of the storm.  We were sure that we wouldn't get hit by the lightning, because the fools one floor above us were doing the exact same thing. :whistling:

Lee-Lee is my hero. I don't know how she has lasted for more than 5500 posts without getting TSed. And I also don't know why someone with so much sense hangs around the DUmp.

Lee-Lee (5,588 posts)

18. So her entire complaint is that someone called about her loud music?

Really?

I have news for her- people call in noise complaints about loud music, loud cars, loud workers, loud kids, loud anything,

They do it all the time. On people of all races

It’s literally one of the most common complaints LE gets.

I worked as a deputy not far from Chapel Hill, and know lots of people that did and still do work there. The city is notorious for having lots of nit picky, oversensitive, will call and complain and expect the police to come out for the stupidest shit kind of residents.

Since I guess the author couldn’t be bothered to even find out what the noise law is and tell us, I looked it up for Chapel Hill:

http://studentlegalservices.web.unc.edu/legal-resources/legal-topics-index-2/noise-ordinance/

The Chapel Hill Noise Ordinance

(snip)

That’s a very restrictive ordinance, to put it mildly. 50db during the day is a very quiet standard compared to most. 40db is the background sound level of a quiet officer and 60-65db is the sound level of normal conversation at 3 feet.

It is the quietest allowable noise level I’ve seen in any NC noise ordinance, in fact. That’s an insanely low noise threshold to set for a daytime violation. Literally if you were standing on the edge of your property and talking in a normal conventional tone it would constitute a violation of your voice was over 50db just inches away off the property line.

So if her music was audible at a level not even higher than a normal conversation at any point off her property than she was, in fact, in violation of the law. Evidently she either never bothered to learn what the law allowed for in her town or she knows and didn’t care. Or she learned afterwards, but just doesn’t bother to tell readers in her story.

So, while she’s certain this was about race, there really is zero evidence it is. And knowing the reputation for how many residents of Chapel Hill are, the odds are that in fact it wasn’t at all about race. They would have called just the same for loud music of any kind, because that’s how most of them that live there that are not students are.

Not everything is about race. When you breaking the law, even a stupid one, and the cops show up it’s probablh because you were breaking the law, not because you are black or brown.

Now, is it possible racial bias played a role here? Sure. But likely? Probably not. Are there any indications that racial bias at all came into play? None are presented. So the author makes claims of racial bias in her story without any supporting evidence yet leaves out some critical details that readers need to know like the fact that she live in an area where even marginally loud music is, in fact, illegal. So she makes it a point to lead readers in the direction she wants by leaving some important details out

The story is actually more about how the city passed an impossibility restrictive noise ordinance that essentially wants people to live in their own homes almost as quiet as monks. But, that’s the kind of shit that often goes down in Chapel Hill because that’s the kind of shit the bulk of the year-road residents want so they can call the cops anytime students or anyone else gets even the least bit loud or unruly.

Not everything is racial when the cops show up. Sometimes when you move to a place with a stupidly restrictive law and busybody neighbors and you proceed to break the law the cops show up because you were breaking the law. And they are probably just as exasperated to be going on another stupid noise complaint call in the middle of the day as you are to see them.

23. Gun drawn? Where do you get that from?

Nowhere does it mention guns drawn. Are we making up new facts now?

It does say “His hand was near his hip, close to the gun in its holster.”. So his gun wasn’t drawn, and his hand wasn’t even on his gun. It was “near” it. Well that’s a totally meaningless statement, because I challenge you you stand there in a natural pose with your arms falling where they normally do and not have your right hand “near” your hip where a holster goes. Yeah, that’s kind of how human anatomy works. I bet 99% of your day if you are standing if you are not doing something with your right hands it’s going to be “near” your hip too.

But you can see how her statement there had it’s desired effect. By pointing out his hand was “near” his gun because that’s where arms go when you stand she took an innocuous thing and turned it into a misleading way to describe nothing threatening that led you to think he had a gun drawn.

See how she, by using ominous terms to describe nothing more than the officers arms in a resting position, manipulated your thoughts to think it was something far more than it was?

39. Oh and to your last part

“I would bet lots of money that most white folks would get a warning...”

Umm she did get a warning. He took a report and told her that if they got multiple complaints then a ticket would be issued.

That literally is a warning. Don’t do it again or we will have to issue a ticket is the textbook definition of a warning.

Between this and the gun drawn thing you are literally changing the entire story in your mind because you want it to be racism so badly. First you invent the gun drawn, then you say if she was white it would have been a warning when in fact what she got was a warning.

At the rate you are changing the story you will have the officer with a KKK bumper sticker on his patrol car next...

You've provoked me.. now I HAVE to tell this story... the statute of limitations has likely expired after two decades.

My best friend since childhood moved to his first apartment at the north end of our state. It was one of those low-rent places where they convert a house into 2-3 apartments and the utilities are all included... meaning the entire house is on one breaker box in the basement.
The... um, 'teens' who rented out the upper floor were doing the same thing. thump thump rap bulls$% all hours of the night, keeping my buddy awake. He asked them multiple times to tone it down as he had to get up at like 400AM for work, but they just shrugged him off and did whatever the hell they wanted.
Now, don't ask me how it worked, but he built this Frankenstein box out of stuff from an old microwave and various other crap.. I do remember it had this HUGE capacitor on it. I'm talking like 6" round and a foot tall kind of big. He was even scared of it...
One night the debauchery started up again with the ridiculous stereo... He unplugged everything in his own apartment, plugged this thing in and turned it on. It fried almost every piece of electric equipment in the house. He didn't hear the stereo anymore after that.

Just throwing out some ideas, the last electronic stage for a microwave is a Travelling Wave Tube. A TWT usually has 3 or 4 thousand volts on the cathode, and a capacitor with that kind of working voltage is going to be pretty large. So maybe he charged one up and used it to create a high energy power surge.

Not sure, way over my head. But I do know it was about 75% effective in destroying everything electrical that was plugged in. Seems like if I'm remembering correctly, things like refrigerators survived, but all the electronics bit the big one.

The Compost is behind a paywall for me, too, but this article was here:

https://www.ctpost.com/opinion/article/My-neigbors-called-the-cops-on-me-for-listening-12949402.php

happened last fall, supposedly.

Quote
I've lived in many cities, and I could not imagine calling the police on a neighbor for anything like this. And I'm confident that my Caucasian neighbors would not have involved the police if some of the music they heard hadn't been hip-hop.

I cannot prove that this was an act based on bias. But in studying and practicing medicine, I have developed skills in pattern recognition. They are well adapted to making a diagnosis of racism.
After that incident, I could not sleep for a few nights, because of how hurt I felt. Having a policeman approach and confront me left me feeling embarrassed, humiliated and powerless. I felt like an unwanted outsider in a community of which I thought I was a member.

Not long ago, two African-American gentlemen were arrested in a Starbucks in Philadelphia while simply waiting for a colleague; I understand how fearful and helpless they must have felt. Then there was the woman wrestled to the floor by police at a Waffle House; I can relate to her likely feelings of anger mixed with submission.

It was more of a device that sent some sort of noise or something backfeeding into the internal wiring.... and now that I think of it, probably back out to the pole and upstream as well.  Maybe not the best idea....  but I'm guessing at this point
