Maybe that young person should have been ticketed. Perhaps arrested.

They need to go farther and have a stern discussion with Ms. Braasch about what constitutes an emergency. And tell this flighty scared heffa that the next time she calls and it’s about a lost fellow student, or a sleeping fellow student in the common room - or any other non-emergent situation - her placement in her…
They’re names better suited to strippers or very small, yappy dogs.
I have worked at colleges and universities. A student I.D. is the first thing that is asked for, no matter what. Depending on where it is, other forms of I.D. May be asked for.
Citizens don’t press charges. Police or DA’s do (different in different places.) In this case she went to the police and the DA is deciding whether or not to pursue charges.
If that’s what you took from this misunderstanding, you are tremendously fucking stupid, and I have no interest in speaking with someone so emotionally stunted that they’d throw a bomb into a conversation that had already been resolved without their idiotic “insight.”
Here you go.
How is my statement dumb? The cops responded to a call and verified the person was a student. The article did say the name was incorrect in the university system and that created confusion. The cops did exactly what they were suppose to do: due diligence.
Honestly, the person who called in the police should be suspended for a semester, and if she harasses someone again should be expelled. Anything short of that really will not have much of an effect.
Its not the cops job to do that. It’s the schools job to take action against the problematic serial cop caller
If they didn’t, they didn’t. And I, admittedly, don’t know. I’ll walk that back.
Since when do cops check ID’s for the person that called them? I’ve called cops on suspicious cars driving by that ended up being torched in my neighborhood (fire and robbery are the concern) and the cops never asked for my ID. They just took my statement.
I’m not saying it’s right, though I do think that the vitriol and blame needs to be dumped on the caller’s head. That behavior is the root problem, from what I can see, and this seemed to be a case of pure spite.
The cops did not follow this girl around or randomly pull her aside for her ID. They were CALLED to the scene.
Disagreed. The cops will bear the brunt of this for responding to a call and following protocol.
When you call the cops, they have to follow the minimum protocol. The cops did not follow this girl around or randomly pull her aside for her ID. They were CALLED to the scene.
The blame needs to be on the white grad student that wasted the police’s time.
To be fair, Yale university police did follow protocol and checked ID. Given our current environment with shootings, that is justified.
And yet Becky McWhitetears will face no consequences from the university or police.
