Do you have some inability to represent things truthfuly?So that makes anyone walking outside with their hands in their pockets a criminal? The cop talked to the guy because they wanted him to as opposed to just asking for a police presence which avoids any accusations. If they're scared of the public then maybe it's time for counseling or to close the business. Because sending cops to harass citizens is not the answer.The guy had been robbed like 4 times. How is it paranoid to see a guy who might be casing your joint and think maybe this is a 5th time?Your reading comprehension could use a little fine tuning. I said it wasn't the cop's actions but the paranoid merchant that led me to that suspicion. And my "assumption" is based on theirs. They didn't report a crime, they reported a man walking outside with his hands in his pocket. Because no crime was committed the detention for questioning was not justified. That's an opinion just like yours is.LOL. I am not going to respond to a thread while drivingIt seems to me that it was about race and I'm disinclined to easily jump to that conclusion. The reason I think so is not because of the cop but because of the paranoid shop owner. It also perplexes me that you white folk think race is never an issue. Don't know if you're white but you sure are white-splaining this. A lot of you are.Ah, another race whore injecting race into this instance without a single whit of reasoning behind it. Tell me, should we just make it illegal for a white cop to interact with a black person?

And stop texting while driving. Are you freaking crazy?I was the passenger.
Anyway, it can seem that way to you but that is utterly irrelevant. I don't care who wants to interject race into this - there is absolutely NOTHING to base that on. Nothing. There isnt a single fact that shows anything in this encounter was related to race at all. I notice that you don't bother to include any reasoning as to why this is about race other than flatly stating its your assumption. Again, that is because that assumption has nothing to back it up. It is telling that so many are willing to simply ASSUME that race is involved. It shows the asinine conditioning that the media has inflicted on us. A white cop cannot approach a black person in any context without people chomping at the bit claiming the cop is a racist pos.
It is not only completely asinine but it is getting very, very old.
Because he was not just "walking outside with his hands in his pockets." Review what happened.
