All I'm gonna say is this is the WRONG day and age to be doing stuff like this. Maybe she didn't get the memo. The following description was posted along with the video, but it's what they did with the woman's image at the end of the video that speaks volumes. Oh, my... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "White Woman Calls Police On Black Family's BBQ In Park | Residents React #BBQBECKY Chronicle Speaks Published on May 14, 2018" "A family in Oakland, Calif., attempted to enjoy a sunny day at Lake Merritt Park and decided to bring their grill along for a cookout. Everything was going fine until another parkgoer thought they weren’t following park rules and decided to snitch to the police, according to KRON-TV. Michelle Snider, a white woman who captured the incident on her cellphone, couldn’t believe what she was witnessing and referred to the woman as the “f***ing coal Nazi police.” Snider says that the only thing her husband, Kenzie Smith, and his friends wanted to do was enjoy a day at the park. “This is exactly what is the problem with Oakland today,” Snider said. “This lady wants to sit here and call the police on them for having a barbecue at the lake, as if this is not normal.” According to the cookout snitch, charcoal grills weren’t allowed in the section of the park where the family was. The snitch even threatened the family by telling them they were going to jail, Smith said. “She said that we were trespassing, we were not welcome, and then she turned back around and said, ‘Y’all going to jail,’” Smith said. “I think we need to question the policies that made this woman think ... she had the right to harass people,” Snider said. Although the park map showed that the family was indeed in the wrong area for grilling, Smith says that he sees people using charcoal grills there all the time. But was it necessary for the unidentified woman to call the police? I say not. Comment below and lets talk about it."

Even though I don't have any kids of my own, I do understand. I get like that with friends because of things I have been through. I see them going through something similar and I try to let them know to keep their eyes open and to pay attention. So they can spot the warning signs and be proactive in dealing with them.
