Care to elaborate? Because nobody has gone into detail about that. It's funny because I'm sure you would be badmouthing my brother if the situation was reversed and he did steal something, but when the store is in the wrong everyone goes around defending the store. They were plainly in the wrong in this situation. They falsely arrested him with no shoplifting indicators, and the manager said it was because he was black. Plus the fact that he was yelling at my brother and threatening him as if he did something wrong. If that's not a case then I don't know what is and this is from a person who's actually worked in Loss Prevention. These are the types of things employees get fired for because it costs the company millions in lawsuits. So were those not cases either? There have been people who have sued for less. Exactly. Besides, he has two witnesses and a video tape which shows the manager yelling/harassing him. There's other events where they have done this as well and I think that qualifies as harassment. If we wanted to, we could find others in the area who have suffered from the same racism and file a class action law suit. My point is, this is a case and it's a pretty big one. If you don't think it is, then go into detail and actually give me an idea what you're talking about instead of coming off as condescending because a black kid is getting justice from racism. Geez, you act like this wasn't wrong or something.

What's also funny is as soon as my brother POLITELY expressed that he wanted the manager's name and number and that he was tired of being singled out the manager went off on him. Why? Because he knew he was screwed. That's all I have to say.

People need to be held accountable for their actions.


Show the "proof" of the:
1. racial profiling

2. yelling (you state you have video)

3. that your brother "did not" steal anything

Once you have this evidence, go to a lawyer, and you won't need this forum...

Until then, I can yell at whomever the phuck I please, I can accuse anyone of stealing something, as long as I do not unlawfully search/seize/detain them, and I can be as racist as I want.... this is America and I hate "most" everybody!!!!!!!!

You are in loss Prevention, care to file a case against me???????????

you said "It's funny because I'm sure you would be badmouthing my brother if the situation was reversed and he did steal something"

You are dammed right!!!! I would badmouth ANY thief, I cannot stand them. They are one of the reasons I pay so much tax, and have to wait for the cashier yo get me my pack of cigarrettes from behind the counter instead of from the lazy susan type machine they used to have....!

Dang.

He never did apologize to me for his hate comment to me.

If this is, as you claim, merely about the principle of the matter, why not sue them for $1 to prove your point? (Assuming you can find a desperate enough lawyer to take this on contingency, of course. And I think even a Guam law school dropout will see there's no 1983 claim here).

Interesting thread I stumbled on. Just wanted everyone to know that you don't need to leave the store. You only to pass all checkstands and walk towards the door. You are given every chance to make the purchase, but once you absolve all you chances you are shoplifting. This is in how it works at any Safeway in the Great State of California.
