White neighbor calls cops on Black realtor and client
BREAKING: New video shows a Black realtor and his Black client getting the cops called on them while viewing a home for sale in a white neighborhood. Unbelievable! THIS IS AMERICA...
From the Daily Mail: "A Cincinnati realtor and his client have filed a federal lawsuit against the city alleging deprivation of civil rights and false arrest stemming from an incident last year in which a retired white cop called 911 accusing them of breaking into a house.
According to the 16-page complaint filed on Monday, prospective homebuyer Anthony Edwards and his real estate agent, Jerry Isham, who are both black, were scheduled to view the property at 1093 Morado Drive in West Price Hill on November 17, 2018.
The two men used a key left for them in a lockbox outside the front door to enter the residence.
While they were inspecting the home, a retired Cincinnati Police Department motorcycle officer Thomas Branigan, who is white, called 911 claiming that he had just seen 'two black male subjects force the front door open,' according to the lawsuit obtained by Fox 19.
Branigan, who lives in the predominantly white neighborhood, told the dispatcher that while the house on Morado Drive is for sale, that day no open house was being held there."
