A bright red umbrella with a light colored top set on a roof top in New York City prompted a woman from a block or or so away to call 911 because she thought it looked like a suicidal woman dressed in a Handmaid’s Tale costume about to jump to her death to make a political point.

The red garment and white cap Handmaid’s Tale costume has become a common protest costume for liberals in the Trump era:

New York City police investigated and found only the umbrella. The cops took it in stride with humor and an encouragement to report concerns even if they turn out to be unfounded.

Today I thought I saw a woman dressed as a handmaid about to jump from a building. I called 911. pic.twitter.com/EIrz6wR0bz — Casey McCormick (@itsmeCaseyMc) May 21, 2019

Blessed be the umbrella. Thank you Casey and the @POPSUGAR team for alerting us to this crime, glad we could save the day. Jokes aside, if you’re ever hesitant about calling 911 – don’t be! We take all calls seriously, and worse case we get to go home with a great story. https://t.co/PJLNw9Gx0P — NYPD NEWS (@NYPDnews) May 21, 2019

Another woman wrote she had a similar concern:
