Woman Calls Cops On Black State Rep. Canvassing In Neighborhood
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
A woman called the police on Oregon state representative Janelle Bynum (D) as she was canvassing in a neighborhood in her district, according to Bynum’s Tuesday Facebook post.
“Big shout out to Officer Campbell who responded professionally to someone who said that I was going door to door and spending a lot of time typing on my cell phone after each house — aka canvassing and keeping account of what my community cares about!” Bynum wrote in her post.
The legislator said she asked the policeman to connect her to the person, whose race is unknown, who called 911. Bynum wrote that “the officer called her, we talked and she did apologize.”
Later, Bynum told the Oregonian that while she understood the woman’s concern, “when people do things like this, it can be dangerous for people like me.”
In several recent incidents, bystanders have called the police to report on black people engaging in innocuous activities including holding a barbecue in a public park, waiting in a Starbucks , and, in the case of one eight-year-old girl, selling water .

OMG! There is a black woman at my front door!
MAGA, up close and personal.
The only up side to this is that the LEO handled it well.
OMG, there is a minority in the neighborhood....What do we do...Panic panic.
It happens all the time. Many years ago I worked as a door to door salesman while I was going to school. Somebody called the law on my friend and me. The way things are today, people are a little more jumpy than they were back then. As I think back on it the neighborhood was more upscale and the people weren't very friendly. Now that I have become more aware of people and who they are I know they were Lilly White Liberals and not down to earth people like I had been raised around.
If they get tired of it they usually move to the gated communities with a guard at a gate and the only way you get in is have permission from the homeowner. That's where the real Liberals stay and don't plan on canvassing in their neighborhoods whether you're selling something or campaigning.
Six the article, the politician nor the cop mentioned any political affiliation. You are the only one brought it up and sprinkled it with BS...
Kind of telling.
agreed, i read that comment and thought to myself, humm its not about politics at all. Its about power and control.
I assure you the lady who called in was a Lilly White Liberal. They're always calling in on people. Their favorite are the children selling kool aid.
And next to the Liberals is the gated republican enclave.
The two sides throw eggs at each other over fences.
It has subsided some lately as the conservative enclave has been busy trying to hide some of their undocumented domestic help from their own administration.
