and before the closet racists go "I don't see what the issue is"
HOUSTON - Every time the music turns up and Jevon Cofield decides to invite family over to his own house, one of his neighbors calls the cops.

"They've been out here 17 times," said Cofield.

KHOU 11 checked and actually it's been more than that. The Harris County Precinct 3 Constable's Office told us that it's responded to more than 20 noise complaint calls made by Cofield's neighbor.

"It's worse every time," said Cofield.

But Pct. 3 says Cofield and his family have never done anything wrong.

"I feel like I'm being harassed by people making the calls," said Cofield.

The calls started when he moved into to the Summerwood subdivision last November. He started documenting each time deputies showed up.

"It's so bad now the family is used to it," said Cofield. "They say 'hey how you doing' and then it's back to playing cards."

But now he says things have gone too far. Cofield feels targeted, trapped and discriminated against in his own home.

"They don't want me here, clearly if they've been called out 17 times," said Cofield.

Pct. 3 confirmed to KHOU 11 where the anonymous calls were coming from. We stopped by that neighbor's home to get some answers. The man who lives at the home said he didn't want to talk about the issue with reporters.

But now the Constable's Office is involved and looking into what's behind this neighbor's series of bogus calls against Cofield and his family.

"It needs to stop," Cofield said. "Enough is enough."

KHOU 11 legal analyst Gerald Treece says families dealing with this do have legal options. Treece says you can seek a Temporary Restraining Order against your neighbor or even consider suing for slander.

of course the guy didnt want to talk about it

Why hasn't the racist been fined for making fake calls to the cops, if not harassment? This is a waste of the cops time as well as racism.
---

He looks like the kind of dude that would say something like "We don't 'preciate yer kind round here"

Maybe don't play loud music

Evict the thug ass neighbor and sue him to a halfway house

That's a nice house. Hope to move to somewhere nice like that and not have someone repeatably call the cops on me.

Okay so maybe don't play music loudly enough that people call the police.

If it was that loud then why is it only that one neighbor calling the police and how come they don't want to talk about it?

I very much doubt they did.

Because when you're aware the media is already going to make you into the next KKK grand wizard, you don't give them more stuff to use.
The man could open his open to black people and he'd still be the bad guy.

Oh okay. Try reading the article.

okay so you don't have anything and are posting just to post.

Wrap it up everyone, just another shitposting day for Brutal

I've explained to you.
It's not my fault you're a sheep following media that tells you what to think.
Now, are we done here? Because I think we're done. I presented logic. You presented insults.
I present evidence that your argument is false. You gave more insults.

I think we're done.

I don't mean to be *that* guy but where is the race component to this story? I mean, we've all dealt with shitty neighbours before. At an old workplace our neighbours called the EPA 7 times in a month on us because they didn't like the way our customers sometimes parked in their spots.

Some people are just assholes towards their neighbours.
---

Because the article made it into a race argument. Which in turn makes the agitated regulars on here scream "race war"
I don't think most people are aware of how busy body neighbours work.

I have an emotionally disturbed male relative who calls the cops at least 3 times a week about stupid stuff. He calls on neighbors, businesses, other drivers who irritated him. I have many silly stories. I understand what's going on.
---

That site seems to be the only on reporting this "news".
Seems either a mixture of: neighbour is trying his 15 minute of fame or else the site is just trying to report on something to be relevant.
Oh, it's just a blog most. Not even news.

Not surprised TC made a topic trolling.

It's a local news affiliate of the area, this isn't some national story
---

Wow. I'm stunned. I cannot troll as hard with effort as Brutai is right now and for him it's completely natural.

Guess it's time to throw in the towel. Trolling really is a art form, and with talent like that around, this site just doesn't need mediocre trolling like mine. Bravo, sir.

How did the article make it about race, Brutai?

Yeah thanks - how about you post something of substance insteado f trying to fling insults?

Because of the content and phrasing which in turn helped the TC to create a lovely topic regarding race so he could hopefully troll the heck out of the regulars

Where was there an insult in that post? I was paying you a compli- oooooooh you almost got me, you almost got me, man. What a great troll. I hope all trolls can measure up to you some day.

OH you're an alt of a coward.
Tagged.
Engage on your main or not at all - feel free to PM me an apology for wasting my time.

Yes, I am serious.

looooooool

Top-tier material! Keep trolling me, it's pure gold. I could not stop laughing. Could not.

The contents are facts. So what "phrasing" are you talking about?

Another alt.

Brutal, just stop.

When people (most likely the same trollery crowd that get suspended/warned when they try to troll me) stop posting on alts and apologize, I'll stop using their posting styles.

Brutai, what would be your opinion on the man getting fined for having wasted the officer's time that many times? This is given how they've been called over 20 times btw

Who is your main?

Mine? This is my main, I've been posting with this account since I've joined GameFAQs.

Low karma for your main.
Wouldn't care - would deserve it since busy body neighbour

Neighbor is in the right if volume exceeded the allotted db for the area or was playing outside quiet hours.

What does my karma count have to do with anything anyway? Discussion is still discussion as long as it isn't from a shitposting alt.
---

I answered your question.
Do you have more?

Brutal, stop shitposting and go back to internet stalking little girls again. You aren't good at anything else.

It didn't. Thanks for playing

When more alts are used to insult me instead of dispute my arguments, you know I've made excellent points.
It's always the same: I make logical points. People flame me. I make more logical points, more alts appear.
It's like I can actually tell how right I am by the amount of trollery flung at me.

brutal dont you have little girls to stalk

We told CJayC not to get rid of Meta Mod but did he listen? No.
---

Meta mod isn't what you think.

I liked meta mod
It was a fun thing to do when the board was dead
---

Y'all should just add brutal to ignore. It's much better

In this case, loud music just seems like an excuse to call the cops on some people the racist doesn't like.

This is the perfect example of the worst kind of racism, where a person is given no chance for redemption, and a clear action born of hatred is exacted upon that person.

But who watches the watchmen? (i.e. the police; two different convos going on itt I realize...)

We could find out if he's racist first instead of listening to the OP to find out what we should think.
But I guess that's too hard for some people.
