After a summer of “Permit Patty” ,”Pool Patrol Paula,” BBQ Becky“. Now, a New York woman, Teresa Klein, “Cornerstore Caroline” have joined the list of white people who call police on black people or children, raising concerns of racial bias.
A white woman called the cops on a black boy claiming that a young boy touched her behind in a Brooklyn bodega. The allegations drew a storm of ridicule and criticism on social media and there’s video to repute #CornerstoreCaroline’s claim.
Klein could be heard on the video, “I was just sexually assaulted by a child,” while on the phone with the police. Some on social media also suggest she faked the 911 call to police. New York police said the department received no 911 calls, or complaints about Wednesday’s incident from the deli.
Can you imagine what this young boy would be going through if security camera footage was not available. Late on Friday, “Cornerstore Caroline” made a public apology to the child. But is that enough?
