"Do NOT call 911 just because you notice there are brown people in your vicinity. That doesn't constitute an emergency!"

What a sad story...

The brothers' Facebook pages are littered with jokes and jabs with their friends. They also post photos of their dog and their mom. They're described as quiet and thoughtful — except when they're rocking in their metal band, Snot Goblin.

In other words, they're American teenagers.

But Thomas Kanewakeron Gray, 19, and Skanahwati Lloyd Gray, 17, are also Native American — and their mother says their appearance was the reason police were called to question the pair as they tried to tour the campus of Colorado State University this week.

The encounter rattled the brothers, ruined their attempt at a campus visit and sparked responses from a roster of officials — from the CSU tour guide who sent a personal apology to their mother, from Colorado's lieutenant governor and from some of the university's leaders.

Slimebag admins at CSU think they can give the family some "VIP" treatment now? Well, here's some VIP treatment, CSU…

CSU should not only offer both boys automatic acceptance but they should pay for the boys' tuition for the duration of their degree requirements - whatever that takes.

Racist Helicopter Mom attack. Jeez. Some people are horrible.

So did anyone pull the mom who called police aside and talk to her? I certainly hope the police the did. People should not be able to get away with this. The boys even have a civil case against her if they so desired.

I thought John Wayne took care of those guys

"The only good Indian is a dead Indian." It stemmed from a remark attributed to Gen. Philip H. Sheridan when he was introduced to a Comanche chief in 1869.
"Me Tochoway," said the chief. "Me good Indian."
"The only good Indians I ever saw were dead," Sheridan snapped.


or maybe it was Kirk?

I'll bet the idiot woman thought they were Middle Eastern.

Body cam footage of the police interaction as well as a recording of the phone call can be found at https://safety.colostate.edu.

The ostensible reason for the call was that the two young men joined the tour late, wore black, and were quiet and uncommunicative, making other members of the tour "uncomfortable." In the call to police, the informant accused the boys of "lying," though it's hard to figure out how they could be lying if they were refusing to talk.

As with most of such incidents, it is hard to pin down what is going on inside people's heads. If the boys had been lighter-skinned and blond, would the informant have given them a pass?

A good and obedient servant of the Police State, "See something, Say something"....

when my neighborhood started to gentrify, there was a n immedaite increase in cops showing up in the alleys to wake up the old homeless guys and tell them to move on..drunks, homeless, scrappers..guys that had been there for a long time..never hurt anyone

I've witnessed, many times, some poorlittle white girl or guy out there, talking to the cops..Cops trying to make them understand that the guy is harmless and will be gone when he wakes..Cops calling these poor guys by their name..Mostly older mexican and eastern european men..some women though..older = 65 years at least..very few young guys or gals..

These people caling the cops would be absolutely livid that the cops were balking at arrest or whatever.".this is your JOB, he 's on my PROPERTY!!" (usually 'near' their property asleep on the fucking ground at the edge of the alley between two trash cans..you know..

This still goes on..Over the years I've ripped into a number of these snowflakes trying to talk some sense into their heads...You move into a major city from 'Crystal Lake'..don't expect it accommodate all your white fears...Sorry, this is one of mymost MAJOR peeves of all time.
