Lolade Siyonbola, the Yale University graduate student whose classmate called the police on her last week for napping in the common area of their dorm, said Monday that she wants to see consequences for people who call 911 with a racially motivated bias.
Sarah Braasch, a graduate student in the philosophy department who is white, called the police on Siyonbola, who is black, on May 7. “I have every right to call the police. You cannot sleep in that room,” Braasch said in a video taken by Siyonbola as they waited for officers to arrive.
“I was like, you have got to be kidding me. This has to be a joke,” Siyonbola said Monday on Good Morning America.
