“It’s 2018,” Stubbs told the Times. “It shouldn’t be strange that a Black woman’s knocking on your door. I didn’t do anything to make myself stand out. I felt like they thought I didn’t belong there.”

Stubbs, ever so polite, declined to say which neighborhood she was in at the time, but indicated that it was a predominantly white one. She told the news site that she had been in the neighborhood no more than 20 minutes, and had knocked on about five or six doors before the officers showed up. The officer who showed up questioned Stubbs politely. “‘Well, how do you know what doors to knock on?’ [the officer asked]/ And I said, the walk list. And she said, ‘Can I see it?’ And I said, sure, here you go, and then she said, ‘I’m really sorry that that happened to you,'” Stubbs told CBS. But even that Stubbs flipped around, although she stressed that her interaction with that officer, identified as Katherine Bland, was more than possible. Bland noted in her report that after the two finished speaking, Stubbs and her mother shared their cell phone numbers with Bland with an offer to help the officer improve race relations in Madison communities. And though she didn’t get a chance to speak to the constituent who made that call, she hopes he sees her story and gets in touch with her.
