"We reached out to the bank. A bank rep said there have been 11 cases of fraud at this branch in just the last few months. The rep said the tellers were being hyper vigilant."
I don't see how this helps their argument. 11 cases of fraud in a few months? How many legit transactions did they do in those months? 500? 1000? 5000? 11 is a ridiculously low number.
Any excuse to deny us the same privileges others get in this country without ever having to think about it.
Bank tellers are being "hyper vigilant" about the 12th potential transaction fraud in how many months? How about the black people in this country having to be hyper vigilant about being black in america when everything we do, even the most mundane and innocuous, is viewed under a microscope? It's exhausting. We just want to be left the fuck alone so we can live our lives unmolested.

"Not trying to be racist but, ____Always something racist____"
LOL why is he trying to talk to them like they're friends? Yo bro, check it out sorry for throwing a chair at you but check it I fought two Black guys last week!
Thank you for posting this.
Why didn't he call the damn police if security is trash? Why are you willfully adding yourself to a potential police report by fighting people and randomly throwing chairs?...
White manager calls police on black kids for shoplifting, but they have the receipts
Manager calls police on young teens AFTER they purchase snacks
I would ask for something as far as their reasoning as to why they looked like shoplifters. If they brought up race, then it's a 100% nope, not issuing a trespassing notice/warning. Not only that, I'll make sure to include that in my report that the kids were being profile because of their race.
careful, he could reach their guns with his garbage clamp!
pathetic
I scare em just by walking by. Careful. Might get choked out with my work computer!
They better fire that officer at the very least. I hope this gentleman gets a good attorney and sues the department. There's no logical reason whatsoever that a person sitting behind a private property sign should even be addressed on whether they belonged there or not. Then detained for further questioning. WOW.
"I want to hear what he says because eight minutes of video isn't much"
Why do these people never realize that discriminated POC don't owe them shit? Especially justifying themselves after being profiled. Fuck right off with that.
I'm honored to have made this list. It took alot of days of hard work, focus, dedication, and sleepless nights.
I wanna thank my parents for motivating me and having my back every step of the way. I wanna thank the Universal Creator for giving the this opportunity in life. I wanna thank my fans for supporting me unconditionally.
I never thought id make it here and I'm living proof that if you work towards it, you can achieve it!!
Thank you all so much! Thank you!!

The "manager" said he wouldn't refund his ticket because he flashed a flashlight in the theater?...I hope AMC swaps out all of management at that theater, and fuck the black cop saying "why didn't you just show the ticket?"
Are you thee Phoenix Man???
fucking hell... ridiculous
is this legit becoming a thing? what even does this mean?
It means she was uppity and didn't respect his authority and do 100% of what he told her to do even though it was wrong. I honestly believe if a police officer told you to jump off of a building and you didn't comply you would be charged with resisting an officer without violence.
I don't think these people receive training anymore; or they definitely aren't present and learning. Something like this should never lead to an arrest of a victim. Surprise, people are going to be agitated and distressed getting a weapon pulled on them. They may not be calm. Their job as an officer should be to deescalate that; reassure them things are being handled, ask what they need and if there is anyone they can call on their behalf to look after them.
But they just don't care about serving the community. Putting your hands on a victim after something like this, forcing them to the ground and arresting them does the exact opposite!
It's REALLY telling that a black woman calls in a valid report on someone brandishing a weapon at her and gets arrested. Yet all these white women can just make any sort of nonsense call of made up junk in their heads to sic the police on black people and they don't even get so much as a talking to.
Our lives are meaningless until systemic racism is actually acknowledged and addressed!
Faux Edit: Just went to read the article and I take back my training comments. Let this sink in, the officer who instigated this was a field training officer. Yeah... so they do receive training and this is the quality and extent of that. If the dept. gave a shit they should probably re-train all the officers he's 'trained', but there's no guarantee the next field training officer won't be just as bad.
Sorry for the rant I'm just really upset.
Why can't people fine police departments in case of such incidents? It would simplify things:
- Case of discrimination and racist behaviour by policemen
- Huge monetary fines in similar cases
- Police force more careful in judgment
- Case of discrimination and racist behaviour by policemen
- Huge monetary fines in similar cases
- Police force more careful in judgment
Who are the people who are going to fine the police departments, and why are they immune to institutionalized racism?
What I'm saying is - why don't the people (and their families) of the incidents of racism have more legal leverage against the police departments? Police seems to be above the law - and it is fucked up. A policeman/woman should be really afraid of being fined for such a kind of behaviour.
Because the law will also take the police's side. The law also discriminates. It doesn't just come down to the police.
That's what I'm saying - it's fucked up. There should be a clear distinction between those two, so people - especially in countries like the U.S. could be protected from such a kind of Police Force.
It means "sit down, boy"
A black person showing any sign of frustration is on the same level as a white person brandishing a weapon to US law enforcement.

People out here still showing their ass.
I would love to have heard that cop ask that lawyer that question. I hope he cuts his balls off with that civil suit.
