Sarah Braasch, the 43-year-old Yale University graduate student who called the cops on a sleeping Black classmate, has crawled back into hiding after receiving little to no sympathy from the public.
Braasch became public enemy no. 1 earlier this year when the target of her cop call, fellow graduate student Lolade Siyonbola, posted a video of their tense confrontation to social media. The self-described women’s activist-turned-lawyer called campus police when she stumbled upon a sleeping Siyonbola in the common room of their dormitory late one night, marking the second time she’d dialed police to report a Black student in the building.
