'This could have been a Breonna Taylor:' Police stormed a Black student's dorm after a false report

Christin Evans was suddenly awakened in the early hours of Sept. 14 by the sound of campus police storming into her dorm room at Stephen F. Austin State University with guns drawn and bright lights shining into her eyes.

A resident adviser had called campus police after a group of students, which included Evans’s three White roommates, said that Evans, who is Black, had threatened them, her lawyer, Randall Kallinen, said at a news conference on Monday.

But soon after the 3 a.m. raid, police said the accusation against 17-year-old Evans was made up.

Two weeks later, Evans’s family members said they are frustrated that the investigation is still ongoing, and have called for the university to take action against the students who made the false report, which they believe was racially motivated.

Filing a false report is a crime.
They committed it on campus, under the auspices of the school.
You or I could not have gotten campus cops involved.
Only resident students could nphave.
They shouldn't be residents or students any longer.
