Why isn’t there a law for people like her to be sentenced to jail time for falsely report a crime that doesn’t exist

[Kate-kpgx]

She should be arrested for making a false call.

[screenarts]

She should have been arrested for false police report.

[kepckatherinec]

This wasn’t a “turn the other cheek” moment. This was exactly the kind of harassment that should have been prosecuted. Not doing so simply empowers that witch of a neighbor and those like her.

[nicolebrit]

I LOVE how other citizens came to their defense

[IsaacRod]

She should have been arrested for lying to the police about him assaulting her. Just like he said she tried to weaponize the police. Shame on that lady

[ActionAimz]

Montclair is too diverse and ethnically affluent for racist Karen’s to get away with that mess. Good on neighbors for standing up.

She NEEDS TO GO TO JAIL FOR FALSE CALLS

[lauraescobar]

You have to be really miserable in your corny life to be worrying about what your neighbors are doing in THEIR backyard.

[shadycnetwork]

We need to start arresting these people for lying to the cops about assaults. That's not cool.

[peacebeyondpassion]

I LOVE how all the people rallied together. A warm tingling feeling just went through me, so beautiful.

[anglophils]

"Wasting police time" is a crime. The couple should have insisted on charges for that, and "Harassment".

[mickeykyker]

The hateful neighbor should be arrested or fined for harassment.

[TT-diqz]

In her mind, she has an ulterior motive. The goal is to harass this couple enough so they will grow weary and leave. She doesn't want them in (what she considers to be) her neighborhood.

[odemaj]

If the situation was reversed, the black couple would be arrested for lying to the police

[linniegreen]

She should have been charged with filing false report!

[snakedr]

All she’s gonna do is say she’s sorry, she was on medication, her life is stressful....blah, blah, blah.

[stevecad]

The Black couple should be the ones calling the cops on Karen who clearly is invasion of their privacy.

[aaguero]

Even if the attacked family chose not to prosecute, the police should prosecute those crazy sick people because they reported a "crime" when there was none.

[jamesmadison]

Filing a False Police Report is a Crime. Why wasn't the woman arrested for that crime?
