1) Why are people calling the police for non-emergency matters like this?

clearly you've never worked in the industry. I'd guess about half of all of my calls when I worked on an ambulance were total BS. Like "I'm bored so I called, how's your day going?" level of BS

Most people who call 911 are the bottom rung of society and have little education

Yeah they really should start cracking down on it. Like, I get that they don't want someone in a genuine emergency to hesitate, but 99% of the time it's pretty easy to discern whether calling 911 is actually necessary

This is why Trump won.


he won because racists harass black people at the pool?


he won because racists wanted to be able to harass people at pools again

One reason he won is because some people want to turn anything into a race issue


yes racists wanted to turn things into a race issue by wanting to discriminate based on race
which is why they voted for trump

So many questions

Like why is this even a story. They got it solved now time to move on.

It's a story because it's similar to other high profile incidents that have happened recently, and honestly as a white guy who doesn't have to deal with this shit it has been pretty eye-opening

Ah, well as a white guy that's had stuff like this happen his whole life it's really not worthy of a news story.

After watching the video, the guy says he asks for ID a couple of times a week. It sounds like she just absolutely refused, and ALSO refused to show him her pool ID, and he called the cops. If the guy is actually telling the truth and this is just a thing he does randomly to check up on people, then this is probably not nearly as racist (or racist at all) as this article would imply.

If she's the only black woman in the pool club as she claims, and the guy does this a few times a week, then he mostly asks white people for ID.

It's entirely possible this guy was being racist, but it's also possible he was just doing his job.

It isn't his job though. It isn't anyone's job. No one in that neighborhood is required to show ID to use the pool, and there is a card reader that verifies the keycard before letting them in because that is literally the entire purpose of the card reader. This is just some entitled asshole.


Turns out I was 95% right. He is/was on the HOA board for the community and was the pool monitor for the community. So in essence it was his job.

Actually it is. Being on an HOA board is a volunteer job and if it is in the bylaws of the community to show ID that you are a member of the community then he was in the right.

It isn't. The only thing required for access to the pool is the key card and she had that, which is why the police ultimately determined that he was in the wrong. Nowhere is it posted that ID is required to enter the pool.

More details: he only approached her because (allegedly) someone else asked him to.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44731122

A lawyer representing the individual, named in local media as Adam Bloom, said he was merely doing his job as pool chairman and board member for the local homeowner's association.

The attorney, John Vermitsky, told the Winston-Salem Journal that Mr Bloom had approached Ms Edwards because another resident had questioned whether she was a member of the pool.

And the only thing necessary in this situation was:

1) Ask her if she was a member of the community
- Answer: Yes
2) Ask if she has the key card
- Answer: Yes

Asking for ID and calling the police is overzealous at minimum.

He did ask her for her key card. She says in the video she refused to show it to him. When the cops asks if he can see it, she says HE can, at least implying that this guy did exactly what you said and she got indignant and refused.

Alot of HOAs don't actually post such rules and just leave it in the paperwork. He could have gone about making sure she lived in the community a completely different way. I used to work in security and had to deal with almost identical situations. Homeowners and renters were passing off their key to the pool area to friends and the pool area was only to be used by guests if a resident was present.

Officer: "Well you have a key card to get into the pool?"
Woman: "Yes I do"
Adam: "Okay, then just show access to the pool"
Officer: "Do you have your key card"?
Woman: "I do have my key card"
Officer: "Would you mind if I saw your key card?"
Woman: "I don't mind showing it to YOU (emphasis on the you is hers, not mine), but its not a requirement to use the pool like he was requesting"

Like, this isn't my interpretation of what happened. These are the literal words from the video.

EDIT: and when the cop uses the card, the guy says "allright. perfect"

Since we don't have video from before she started recording, we don't know exactly what was said, but it's clear from the audio that he asked for the key card at some point and she refused that, too.

Even after seeing that her key card worked and opened the pool, he still said "Showing ID would be nice," lol. She gave him her address and used the key card to enter the pool, but he wasn't satisfied with that.

All we know for a fact, going from their exact words is that she wasn't okay with showing the guy her key card. Everything else you're suggesting is speculation.

If simply using the key card to open the door was "perfect," then she never would have needed to show ID in the first place. Even after seeing that her key card worked and opened the door, he still wanted to see her ID.

She stated she gave him her address and he wasn't satisfied with that. All he had to do at that point was see that the key card worked, but he wanted to see her ID and she didn't want to show it to him.

The fact that he says that at 3:13 doesn't make the things said earlier not happen. The reality here is the guy as part of a HOA and at the request of another pool person asked for her ID. She refused to give him any form of identification, including the key card, so he called the cops. She recorded everything from when the cop shows up, and this guy is now plastered all over mainstream media and fired not only from the HOA, but according to the BBC from his actual job. The dude's life has now been irreparably wrecked, all because he asked for some identification. That's insane.

We DON'T KNOW what happened before she started recording, but there's no reason to believe he didn't also ask to see her key card and she refused, because that's what their actual dialogue says. An address isn't proof of membership, which is all he wanted.

Exactly. She stated she gave him her address, and obviously used her key card to enter the pool area. That's all that's necessary here. Again, calling the police on her is overzealous at minimum. He asked for her ID and the first time he even mentions asking her to verify that her key card works is after the police ask for it.

Even after he sees that her key card works, he still wanted to see her ID. He couldn't point to or state one community bylaw that requires photo ID to access the pool area.

Not obvious at all. At no point in any of their dialogue did she even imply she did that. He would have had to forcibly block her from the gate, which would have been a much bigger deal. The fact that she used her ID after he showed up is irrelevant to whether she refused to use it prior to the cop showing up.

Except for the fact that he repeatedly tried to justify the fact that he asks for ID on a seemingly regular basis and never even mentioned testing the key card until the cop came up with the idea just to end the situation.

So are you fine with how all this falls out, cable? Do you think justice has been done? I'm clearly not going to convince you that this guy was just doing what he does all the time as part of his HOA job, and you're clearly unconvinced that she refused to provide him anything other than an address until the cops showed up, so I'm done fighting that battle. Do you believe he deserves to lose his job and have his full name and picture plastered across multiple major news agencies as a racist over asking for an ID?

Bloom and the woman who shot the video both live in the Glenridge community, which is off Robinhood Road, said Karam Gulkham, a lifeguard manager for the pool.

The pool is gated. Members have cards and must scan them to get into the pool area.

About 2 p.m. Wednesday, Bloom asked a black woman, who was in the pool area, for identification, Gulkham said.

Theres a keycard to the door to get into the pool, Gulkham said. Apparently it was not enough for him. I dont know why he felt it wasnt enough.

I'm not fine with how all this falls out. I've been saying this whole topic that the police should have never been called in the 1st place because she gave him her address AND had a working key card. According to the lifeguard manager, she was already in the pool area when Adam Bloom asked her for identification.

I'm not happy that he lost his job, but he's an asshole for calling the police because she wouldn't show him her ID when she had everything she needed to properly access the pool. She shouldn't have to show ID just because he isn't satisfied with knowing her address.

Your source WASN'T EVEN THERE. From the same article you linked to:
Gulkham, who was not at the pool on Wednesday, said all lifeguards were apprised of the incident via a group message. He said officers resolved the situation peacefully, but he was left wondering why it occurred.

So your argument is that while she was walking toward the pool area, another resident asked Adam Bloom to verify that she belongs in the pool area? How does that even make sense? You yourself admit "we don't know what happened before the recording," but somehow you're 100% sure that he asked to see her key card as well? Even though he never even brings up the idea of verifying the key card for almost 2.5 minutes of the video, but mentions asking for her ID and justifies asking for her ID? And still wants to see her ID after seeing the key card work?

What I think likely happened is he asked her for ID as he does periodically as part of his HOA responsibility, most often to other white people (since it sounds like this place is almost exclusively white). She gave him an address, and he said that wasn't good enough (because an address without an ID doesn't prove anything). At that point she could have just pulled our her key card and gone in, but she didn't, and I don't think he blocked the door either. I think they both got testy, she accused him of racism, and he called the cops because she was making a scene. The cops showed up, she used her key card and the cop said that was going to have to be evidence enough for him, and then she ruined his life.

I've been explicitly avoiding posting my speculation because in this instance NOBODY'S speculation is useful. However, as I said since you're not going to be convinced that your speculation is wrong based only on what we know for a fact, and given that you're not even really trying anymore by using the "account" of someone who wasn't even there as evidence of what happened, I figured "why the hell not, might as well say what I think."

And no, she didn't ruin his life. He did that to himself. She didn't force him to call the cops. The police were completely unnecessary in this situation.

He couldn't point to or state one posted rule or community statue that requires residents to show ID to access the pool to the police.

Hell, I doubt it's required to even give your own key card to him to verify. Simply using the key card to access the pool is probably all that's needed and giving him her address was probably a nice gesture in itself.

LMAO, no you haven't.

He did ask her for her key card.


When did he ask to see her key card? Certainly not in the video until the cop came up with the idea. You're speculating here.

I also doubt it's required for a resident to give anyone else their key card to verify access to the pool.

He didn't record the video or post it online and make the claims of racism, so no he didn't do this to himself. I'm sure that if he thought calling the cops would have resulted in his name and face being posted across multiple front pages of major media sites, losing his job, and being kicked out his volunteer position he wouldn't have asked or called.

Yeah, and he clearly assumes he has more authority than he actually does. He says he regularly asks people for ID when he has no right to actually see anyone's ID for access to the pool. Again, he couldn't point to a single posted rule or name one community statute that requires residents to show their ID to him for pool access.

It really doesn't bother you at all that this guy's life has been ruined over asking somebody for an ID at a pool Club? I already agreed that he was a douchebag, but it's a little discomforting with how casually people accept this guy just being destroyed for something he supposedly does all the time to other members as well. As part of his H O A responsibilities.

He brought this on himself. But I'll play your game... Please show me where in the HOA rules and responsibilities that says he had the right to ask for her ID.

I guess when you live in a neighborhood, you have to make 100% sure that all other residents know your name, address, driver's license number, social security number, have a copy of your long form birth certificate, etc. Just so you won't be harassed for using the pool or trying to come home from work.
