Oregon State Representative Janell Bynum is black and female. Her district is just south of Portland. On Tuesday she was out knocking on doors, seeking feedback from her constituents. She was contacted by a local cop, who told her that a citizen had called in and said she seemed to be spending a lot of time outside of homes in the area.
She managed to get the "concerned citizen" on the phone, the constituent apologized. The cop was very friendly about the whole incident and it was apparently settled with no hard feelings on any side.
Maybe the caller thought she was an exceptionally well dressed and unsuccessful porch pirate.
