Residents in Oakland, California, videotaped, questioned and reported to police a black firefighter who was conducting city-mandated home inspections. The firefighter, identified as Kevin Moore, was wearing his full uniform when he was reported to police.

Moore was conducting annual summer inspections in the Oakland hills on May 16 when a resident questioned and videotaped him.

Moore, who was conducting inspections with his colleague Megan Bryan, told the newspaper he was wearing his uniform, a radio and clipboard when the incident occurred.

I try to put myself in other peoples shoes, like if I see someone in my yard, Id ask what theyre doing, he said. Thats why I always call out, Hello! Hello! Oakland Fire Department! Because I want to be heard. I just dont want somebody to look out their window and see somebody in their backyard. Im not trying to be incognito.

Bryan said she received a call from a 911 emergency dispatcher asking if she and Moore were conducting the inspections. A resident had called 911 and expressed concern about Moore.

.....
That same day, another resident emailed home security footage to the Oakland police community liaison officer. That officer forwarded the video to Vince Crudele, who supervises the inspection program.

The video showed Moore wearing a full uniform while ringing the homes doorbell. The resident claimed that Moores tennis shoes, which firefighters are allowed to wear, were evidence he may have been an imposter firefighter.

Another incident occurred Monday after the program resumed following a month-long break. Moore knocked on a front door and went on to conduct the vegetation inspection when no one responded. As he neared the end of the inspection, he found the homes resident outside of the front of the house, recording him on a cellphone.

The resident asked Moore what he was doing and asked to see his identification. After Moore provided his ID, the resident asked for another one. Moore told the resident that he could check to see the big red fire engine out on the street if he was still concerned, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Because uniform theft cannot be a thing, regardless of race and colour, and the culprit trying to pass for an honest heroic firefighter to get elder, more gullible people, to open their door, and then mug them and slaughter them ?! The firefighter's ethnicity isn't the relevant detail here, imo. People trying to ensure of the true identity of an uniform wearer is simply basic prudence.

What does his race have to do with anything? The person who called the cops just sounds very mistrustful and paranoid in general and would have almost certainly called the cops on a white firefighter too.

If this is something they do annually then you would think people would know the drill by now. Surely he can't be the first black firefighter to perform these inspections

You literally go out of your way daily to find articles that confirm your bias that "white people and cops hate black people".

Your whole identity is built around it. Racism is all you want to see. It makes you a hateful and angry person, I pity you.

All the articles do is point out that bias and racism do exist. There's nothing absolute about that. Simply pointing out that something exists doesn't mean that it's a widespread phenomena, it's just evidence against assertions that racism doesn't exist or that it only happens to a certain class of people or that... In your world, you would think that we never interact with white people or have friends that are white or have family members that are white. Just because you can't see the individual as itself doesn't mean that we cannot nor does it mean we're speaking of an entire group of people.
