Along with the BLM movement, anyone else notice an increase in the incidences of fake reports of racism?
Like the three girls who claimed they were assaulted by racists on the bus:

Or the black woman who was ticketed by a white cop:

Or the interracial couple claiming cops were racist:

Or the white power hashtag in a school library:

I think such false claims should be dealt with harshly or else people are going to have a harder time bringing attention to legitimate claims.

Three New York college students who said they were targets of a racially motivated attack face multiple charges for what prosecutors are calling a false claim.
A grand jury on Monday indicted Ariel Agudio, Asha Burwell and Alexis Briggs, all 20, each on a charge of third-degree assault and multiple counts of falsely reporting an incident, the Albany District Attorney's Office said.
Agudio and Burwell also face charges of harassment. Agudio also was charged with two counts of attempted assault.
The State University of New York at Albany rallied behind the students, who are black, when they came forward with claims that a group of white men and women attacked them on January 30 in a confrontation on a city bus. Students held a rally and university President Robert J. Jones said in a letter to students and faculty that he was "deeply concerned, saddened and angry about this incident."
Others came to their defense on social media using the hashtag #DefendBlackGrilsUAlbany. The People of Color Caucus issued a letter in support of them.
But university police said an investigation revealed that no one used racial epithets against the women. Instead, they assaulted another passenger and falsely reported the incident.
"What happened on the bus was not a 'hate crime,'" University Police Chief Frank Wiley said in February. "The only person we heard uttering racial epithets was one of the defendants."

A black New Jersey woman tried a little Al Sharpton style race hustling recently by completely inventing an act of racism. Claiming she was threatened by a white police officer, she no doubt had her eyes a nice settlement from a city too scared to fight any allegation of racism. The only problem with this plan was that the entire incident was captured on the officers patrol car dash cam and there is irrefutable evidence that shes a lying sack of crap.
The Daily Record reports that on October 15 in Pequannock, NJ 50-year old Hyacinth Peccoo blew through a stop sign in full view of a police officer. The cop pulled her over about a block away in the driveway of a home she claimed was her place of employment. The officer gave her a ticket and left. It was a nothing event.
Peccoo however didnt like getting a ticket so she stormed down to the Pequannock Police Department to file a complaint. Obviously she couldnt just say she didnt want to pay the fine so she came up with a far more fantastic story. After meeting with Detective Lt. Michael Fairweather from internal affairs, Peccoo unleashed a whopper.
First, she claimed that she hadnt run the stop sign and that the officer made up the violation, planting the seeds of racial profiling. It gets worse from there. Peccoo says the officer yelled at her and then pulled out his gun and pointed in her face.
In her fictional account of things, she reported that she asked the officer if he was going to shoot her in broad daylight.
Or the interracial couple claiming cops were racist:

A black actress and her boyfriend who both accused an LA cop of being a racist last year after he questioned them, have been ordered to rewrite their apology letter to the officer as part of a plea deal for disturbing the peace.
Danielle Watts, who had a small part in Django Unchained, has until Aug. 26 to submit rewritten letters of apology after a judge and prosecutors rejected drafts submitted this week as insincere, reports the New York Daily News.
Watts and her white boyfriend, Brian James Lucas, made national headlines last year when they posted photos on Facebook stating they were harassed by Studio City police who accused her of being a hooker. Police had been called to the area after office workers observed the couple having sex in a car with the door open on a busy street in the middle of the afternoon. In Facebook posts by both Lucas and Watts, they claimed they were only showing affection which led police to interrogate the interracial couple.
Audio released by police at a later date showed Watts refusing to produce ID to officer Jim Parker and accusing him of racism as she stormed away crying.

The students identified as the people behind a recent racist drawing found at Salisbury Universitys library are black, school officials confirmed Tuesday.
The image, found April 10 on a whiteboard in Blackwell Library, showed a stick figure being hung and labeled with a racial slur. Underneath was the hashtag #whitepower.
The university confirmed Tuesday, April 26, the students involved in the incident were black, spokesman Richard Culver wrote in an email. The university would not provide names of the students, citing the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
I think such false claims should be dealt with harshly or else people are going to have a harder time bringing attention to legitimate claims.
