The incident took during a pickup basketball game where a white man was knocked to the ground by a Black man and then the white guy decided to call the police. According to The Grio, the call that was made to 911 was reported as an “assault.” Both the players, whose full names haven’t been disclosed, admitted they “fouled” each other.

Monday of this week a bystander of the incident Twitter user @_togs provided Black Twitter with more detail of what he just saw for the first time in his life at an LA Fitness gym in Virginia.

Today for the first time in my life…I experienced someone call the police because they got fouled hard in basketball. pic.twitter.com/9E8lp9fmwP — TrapMoneyBenny (@_togs) July 17, 2018

He went on to explain that the tall man in the blue shorts is the one who allegedly fouled the white man too hard and assaulted him. The man to the left of the police officer in the photo is the one who called the cops.

According to @_togs, the white man told everyone he was going to call the cops after he was fouled by the Black man. However, everyone in the gym thought he was only joking until they saw him go up to the front desk and the unthinkable happened. The front desk clerk actually called the police.

When the law enforcement officer showed up the situation did not escalate and the officer quickly assessed this was not a waste of time. According to the incident report both parties admitted to fouling each other and agreed to essentially “play nice” at the gym.

This ordeal resolved ended in a pretty amicable way, but all these cases where white people continually calling the police on Black for simply just existing. Bringing up the question why does this keep happening? Then a better question why did the front desk clerk call the police himself?
