‘Oh, I’m Harassing?’: White Woman Calls the Cops on Black Neighbors for Playing Basketball On Court, But Her Plan Backfires When a Black Officer Shows Up

At one point in the video, the harassing woman told Keyylashae2 the court was “not free 99,” and at another point, she could be seen lurking outside the gate, staring down the players. Eventually, she called the police, but the outcome wasn’t what she bargained for.
Three officers responded to her complaint, and the lead officer was also Black. When the woman claimed the players were trespassing on private property, the officer quickly shut her down and turned the tables, telling her to stop “harassing these people.”
“Oh, I’m harassing?” she asked the officer incredulously before calling him “babe” and walking away while he was in mid-sentence. She led him to the sign posted at the entrance to the court, which stated that anyone living in the complex is permitted to play and invite guests to join them, according to Keyylashae2, who captured the entire exchange.
Within hours of posting on TikTok, the comment section exploded. “Playing basketball??? in a basketball court??? The horror!” exclaimed one.
Abusing 911 and weaponizing the police against the Black community too often leads to false arrests and frightening or humiliating situations when the caller is simply being racist. However, this time around, the encounter had a more favorable outcome. “I didn’t get it on video, but the Black cop started playing ball with them too! Happy ending,” wrote Keyylashae2.
