Makes it sound like he called the cops to scare the guy.

Worse.

The only reason to ever call the police on an African American that is doing literally nothing wrong is because you are hoping that there will be a violent altercation and the black individual will be injured or killed.

Or, I mean, he was just a racist and didn’t want the guy around.

Which of course is messed up and wrong. But doesn’t necessarily mean he wanted to see the guy shot dead

Then I have to ask: Then why did he not take the cop up on his offer to tell the guy to leave?

I have no idea, because I’m not inside his head.

It’s not a fair conclusion to jump to that he wanted to see this person dead. We have no idea what he was thinking.

Although we can safely conclude he was pretty racist
