Diamond Robinson was minding her own business, walking up and down the sidewalk on the street she lives on in Eastpointe, Michigan, talking on her cellphone when a neighbor, who had recently moved into the neighborhood, approached her and told her she was talking too loudly. A few minutes later, three police officers arrived and issued the woman a $385 ticket for a “noise” disturbance.
In an interview with Fox 2 Detroit, Robinson said she was walking down the sidewalk when her new neighbor approached and demanded that she “get off her phone or talk lower.”
Robinson said she replied to the neighbor, saying, “get out of my face” and continued walking and talking. Three white police officers arrived shortly thereafter.
