San Francisco lawmakers have approved a law giving people of color the right to take legal action against false accusations. The law is meant to prevent people from calling law enforcement when they see other people who are different from them carrying out common activities. In the San Francisco area, reporters say white people have called 911 when they saw people of color doing things like selling bottles of water or having a barbecue. 911 is the national emergency number. All eleven officials of San Francisco board of supervisors voted this month for the Caution against Racial and Exploitative Non-emergency Act or KAREN. The Acronym KAREN sounds like the name Kallen. That name has special meaning. it is used by some people to describe an entitled white woman who tries to use her position in society to make the man's a threat without concern for the effect on others. critics say the law's name is sexes and unfair. Supervisor *, is a member of the San Francisco board of supervisors, the cities of lawmaking body. He introduced the legislation and is balck. He told the Associated Press, we don't want both accusations of black men and boys in this country to ever happen again. He also spoke of the killing of * in the southern state of Mississippi in 1955. Tel is a black youth beat into death after the accusation by a white woman who later admitted to lying. Well, he also said the 911 is not a service line for someone's racist behavior. He has dismissed concerns about calling the legislation the KAREN act by saying it does not point to any individual. In May, Amy Cooper, a white woman called 911 from the central park in New York city. She claimed that a black woman who asked her to leash her dog was straining her. She has now been charged with making a false police report. In San Francisco, a white couple was criticized on social media for accusing a man of damaging someone else's property. In a video, the couple questioned the Filipino American man who was chalking wax-likes matter in front of his home in June. The two walked toward James Walnel and demanded to know if he was the home owner. the couple later called police. Supporters of the law say it is frightening to be faced with police because someone saw you as a threat. **leads San Francisco's human rights commission. She said there is a proven pattern of mistreatment of black people and other people of colour in our city and country. The San Francisco's law gives people the right to bring legal action in court against someone who calls 911. The law also makes it unlawful to discriminate against a person on the basis of their religious affiliation, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity. Supporters say they hope it will prevent people from calling police for the wrong reasons. The legislation doesn't make clear what conditions are needed to bring civil legal action against someone. The board has got a written complaint from eight people, several whose names have different spellings of KAREN. They say they support the law but dislike its name, which they say insults women and older people. Karen Shane for example wrote, yes, I am named Karen, and I do speak up all injustices all the time. She asked the city to rename the law so that it does not critisize the whole group of people.
