Cop called on black state representative campaigning in her neighborhood has the right response

Another day, another name to add to the ever-growing list of "Black People Who Had The Cops Called On Them for Simply Existing."

On Tuesday, a woman in Oregon called the police on black Democratic state representative, Janelle Bynum, who was going door-to-door campaigning in a neighborhood she represents.

After an officer responded to the call, Bynum shared her story on Facebook, explaining that the woman who called the police was reportedly concerned at how much time she was spending "typing on her cell phone" after each house.
