White woman calls cops on black man for listening to yoga CD in his car

Tana Ganeva 13 JUL 2018 AT 11:15 ET

Now yoga can be added to the list of normal activities black people might engage in that get the cops called on them.

Ezekiel Phillips claims that he was sitting in his car, resting before his yoga class and listening to a Bikram Yoga CD, when a white woman confronted him, telling him that he didn’t belong in the area.

“You’re not supposed to be here. This is a good neighborhood,” he recalled to FOX 11.

Then the woman called Long Beach police.

In the 911 call, obtained by FOX 11, the woman can be heard grousing that the man was unfamiliar.

“I noticed him two houses up from my parents’ house and I’m like, you know and he’s waving to me. I don’t know who he is.“

If you see something, say something. If you feel something suspicious is going down in your neighborhood, call them.

They said the woman did the right thing!!!

You'd think Deplorables hear about them and react by doing it themselves!

Trump is the pied piper of race hate, he brings out the worst in his cult members.

It's a shithole neighborhood where racists live. Racists who call the police if they see a person of color. Not a good neighborhood at all.

like that. She called it racist and Trumpish. I tend not to generalize about an entire neighborhood based on one asshole.

So now a black who listens yoga CD is a dangrous criminal ! Welcome to Trump's America !

What will be next ? Call cops because a black breathes while taking the line in supermarket ?

I dream of a perp walk for the dumb family from Alaska to the Mexican border !!! And an international coverage !
