“All I did was be black,” Oumou Kanoute said.

A Smith College employee called the police on a black student who was eating lunch in a common area because she “seemed to be out of place,” the school said.
The student, Oumou Kanoute, is working at Smith College as a teaching assistant and residential adviser over the summer. She said she was taking a break from work on Tuesday when a police officer approached her and asked why she was there.
“I did nothing wrong, I wasn’t making any noise or bothering anyone,” Kanoute wrote in a Tuesday Facebook post. “All I did was be black.”
Kanoute said the incident made her “nervous” and caused emotional distress to her.

They need to start prosecuting these callers as calling in a false report.
