Black man who #BBQBecky called police about will run for office

Just call this a classic case of becoming the change after a man who had the cops called on him by a white woman for grilling in an Oakland park, announces that he’s now running for city council.

Kenzie Smith was nominated by an Oakland council member for a seat on Oakland’s Park and Recreation Advisory Committee. Smith made headlines after Jennifer Schulte, aka #BBQBecky called 911 to report he was using a charcoal grill.
