Black couple in a predominantly Black neighborhood claim they are being targeted because of their race, not their loud parties, and are suing for $3 million in a civil rights lawsuit. Prince and Angela Floyd have had police called to their home 41 times over three years following noise and parking complaints tied to 11 events. However, their mostly Black neighbors say the complaints have nothing to do with race and are instead about the couple’s behavior. “It has nothing to do with them being black. It has to do with them not being good neighbors,” said Margaret Littlejohn, a Black neighbor whose fiancé is named in the lawsuit. Prince Floyd, who reportedly has a lengthy criminal history involving charges ranging from drunk driving to battery, claims he fears for his life whenever police arrive. “When they show up and they see a black man talking to them, it is almost like they are ready to be aggr—ssive with me,” he said.
