Coffee House Discussion: When Should I Call the Police?

Recent incidents of SOMA residents calling the police on perceived suspicious activity, the police response, and the social media responses will be the topic of an upcoming Coffee House Discussion entitled When Should I Call the Police? This discussion will explore issues such as: what should prompt someone to call for police; racist assumptions about people that cause suspicions; use of social media to shame people—both those who call the police and those who question the motives of the callers; use of social media to post surveillance footage and photos. This discussion will be held on Thursday, September 19 at 7:30 pm at the Woodland Parlor.
