That is not so much "White Privilege" and more "Some honky-ass cunt calling the cops on some black person for some harmless bullshit." No, wait! This is is vary much a "White Privilege" thing.
Calling the cops for trivial bullshit or thinking black people are up to no good is something that happens all the fucking time. In the past, it usually works as cops tend to shot over some trivial-ass shit, so they would just comply with some knothead's demands! But now that everyone has smartphones and social media on hand, such people are getting called-out for their careless bullshit. Oh, and when they cen recorded and called-out on their shit, they feel oh so "hurt" and "persecuted" due to the stigma, oblivious to their own near-fatal or near-life-crushing carelessness.
Much of that attention started when some cunt called the cop over people barbecuing... IN FUCKING OAKLAND!! Its not fucking Oakland without large community barbecues!! And then it happened again from across the bay in San Fransisco when some other cunt called the cops on a little girl for selling bottled water. This is also the byproduct of the "Gentrification" conflict going on in the Bay Area, as the locals are trying to maintain a foothold in and around the city, while more affluent people think they are "doing good things" for the community. When the locals get squeezed out due to high rent and shit, the town looses all it character, instead becoming a bland shithole filled with Yuppies, Hipsters and Starbucks on every corner. Fuck that shit! Good things do not come out of gentrification.
This is also getting reported elsewhere, with 10-13 year old black kids getting the cops called on them for delivering newspapers, mowing laws, and shit like that. Its as if sheltered suburban-born people loose their fucking balls when they see a "suspicious-looking" teenager.

By the way, I really like the nicknames people keep coming up for those asshates: "Apartment Patty", "BBQ Becky", "Cornerstore Caroline", Golfcart Gail", "ID Adam" and "Permit Patty". They are like the names of Silver Age ('50s-'60s) comicbook super-villains with lame-ass powers over really mundane shit.

For this to be a white privilege, it would have to be impossible for the "reverse" to happen.
Are black people allowed to call the police?
Hi, Freddy. I see you're still throwing slow ones right over the plate on this issue. : )
While I agree that from the information given, this sounds like racism was the motivation, racism is also not a white privilege, as well you know. And of course, there is no other side of the story. How convenient! You cannot , with any real honesty, draw a conclusion with 50% of the story missing.
Indeed the assumption of racism on the part of white people is racism itself. Fuck racism.
The odds are fairly high that there was a reason or reasons other than race that caused this woman to call the police. Or, sure, she's just a racist cunt. Completely possible. But still not white privilege. Anyone can be racist.

White people tend to call the cops on a drop of a hat and see them as someone to back-up 'em up. Calling 911 on rape, murder, armed robbery is one thing; calling 911 over something petty is just being an asshole. Besides pulling a cop form an actual emergency, such petty issues could be resolved through actual conversation... Or just call Police Non-emergency and file an Incident Report, as the passive-aggressive approach is the most hockey-ass thing a hockey-ass motherfucker could do. In other words, white people take 911 for granted and need to learn some constraint.
Black people on the other hand are reluctant to call the cops for a number of reasons, and see them with anxiety and great suspicion, regardless if they did anything or not. The "number of reasons" are many: Police brutality and misconduct, high likelihood of false identification/arrest, getting shot, always being really super-undependable in a real emergency (you could be on 911 getting stabbed and raped and they'll be on time to remove you corpse before it rots-up... IF AT ALL!), enabling or participating in the drug-trade (for kickbacks), fear of retaliation from the criminal elements (well-known as "snitches get stitches"), and being all-around assholes because they know they can get away with it — along with a clannish police-culture that greatly enables this long-standing horror show that plays out on a daily basis, as well as the general long-standing apathy of white people dismissing it all as "Well, that is the ghetto for you! Those people were likely 'the bad ones' and got what they deserve. But it cant be raciest! After all, we are in a 'post-racial' era." and other bullshit like that. I have personally seen much of this shit play out. This is a mentality that digs in deep. Although, I have also seen exceptions, but they are typically the sort that spent their whole lives in the Burbs that they developed that paranoid, cliquish suburban... *cough* George *cough* Zimmerman *cough* ...mentality that I absolutely hate.

What you are describing are radical outliers, and the worst of them long ago. We are in as post-racial an era as you want to be. Some people don't want it to be that way, and they used targeted sensationalized cases of brutality or most often lies-by-omission to capitalize on death and the guilt of suburban white liberals. I don't disagree that different populations have different views of the police. But one must operate in the here and now, not in the past, and not in the past aggregate of bad outliers. Your having personally witnessed a bad cop is, of course, unfortunate. My city had a whole string of them as well. Peace is possible

Wow Freddy is fucking stupid as usual. No, he's just lazy in his arguments, such as this thread, where 50% of the story is missing. A black guy felt like someone was racist to him. Ok. As I said, entirely possible. Is there any possibility he is omitting something? Yes. Does that probability increase where half the story is conspicuously missing? Yes. Will I be called racist just for saying this example is indeterminate? Don't care.
