#2: The CAREN Act
It’s quite alarming when a law has to be made to prevent people from calling the police based on someone’s race. San Francisco gets credit for cleverly revealing the real culprits behind the acronym. Remember the incident with the bird watcher?
In case you’ve forgotten, Amy Cooper, a dog owner in Central Park, called the police and falsely claimed she was attacked by a black man nearby. His crime? He was bird-watching. You know, that hobby where people observe birds. How suspicious!
