Not really sure if it's relevant to the OP but the boy is Asian not white

In the video, Cukor asks Michel to dial whoever he is waiting for. When Michel doesn’t, Cukor calls the police and says he is a “trespasser.” Michel’s friend, who he was meeting there, shows up to the building a few minutes later. (Cukor says that Michel entered the building without buzzing in after Cukor opened the door to leave, a practice known as “tailgating.”)

This practice is common in apartments as I was saying before...

They were both too impatient to wait 3 minutes for the friend to show up.

Let's hope the kid doesn't get bullied at school as he was actually being more mature than his dad.

Now that it is obvious who he is I can imagine classmates telling him his dad is a racist.

I really do not get the guy saying his dad got murdered for confronting someone and also saying he is concerned about the safety of his child who is with him while he is confronting someone.

I think bottom line if nothing else he was not looking after the best interest of his child.

The kid deserves kudos.

I concur. The boy certainly had the nerve to stand up against his father in the way he did.

Work has this rule too. Don’t let anyone in who didn’t use their badge. Just cause tailgating happens doesn’t mean it’s right. I could be fired if I let someone tailgate even if they are an employee.

Then there needs to be signs, which were missing in the apartment where the dude tried to tailgate

Why?
My work doesn’t have signs, it’s part of our orientation and yearly safety education.
The apartment could send emails to people as well as tell them when they move in and sign the agreement. There’s no legal requirement for signs.

It's a precaution. You are talking about compulsory workplace orientation for all staff but the dude visiting his friend is not a resident in the building so may not know the rules.

Had the sign been up there the whole incident would likely never have happened.
