Racist Film Director Arrested For Trying To Rob Bank

[bodecea]

And many of them fall for it hook line and sinker.

Willingly too.

 

[Ralph Norton]

Not sure where you got this nonsense, but you don't know what you are talking about.

Clearly neither do you. Per the Bank Secrecy Act all cash transactions of $10,000+ must be reported to the IRS.

 

[Ralph Norton]

Did you read the story?

Yes. He posted the account of an incident in a bank with no explanation of why - thus my question.

 

[Curried Goats]

Black's are prone to engaging in illegal activity.
So it only makes sense to be cautious of them at all times.
It's for your own safety. ...

By that same token whites are prone to engaging in racist activity and so it only makes sense to be cautious around them.

 

[rightwinger]

A $12,000 cash withdrawal is not that big a deal for a major bank. Someone buying a car or running a business would typically deal in cash.

Should be routine once you verify the account holder and make a record for the IRS.

Why he would end up in cuffs does not make sense.

"Race" is a lame social construct used to divide and categorize different ethnicities. Thus so goes the "racism" and "racist" terms you so freely bandy about......Are you saying that the director is anti-white?

I am saying Black Panther the movie is anti-white...

At least that is what most of the reactionary right-wing cucks were saying about it....

Ben Shapiro is mad that black people are excited for "Black Panther"

Ben Shapiro, paragon of equality, has issues with black people being excited for the highly anticipated film

Conservatives Attack "Black Panther" — But, When It Hits, Declare It Conservative - The Village Voice

A new comic-book movie opened last weekend, and no doubt the overwhelming majority of its popcorn-munching, record-setting audience enjoyed the loud, opulent, CGI-soaked spectacle, since they...

You know right-wingers right?? The same ones who created those artificial racial constructs and used it to justify the oppression, dehumanization and destruction of people for generations....

Do you have a point?

Yes, he does, right on top of his head.

'Black Panther' director Ryan Coogler speaks out after being mistakenly suspected of attempted robbery | CNN

Director Ryan Coogler was detained by police in January after being mistaken for a bank robber.

www.cnn.com

"The "Black Panther" director was in Atlanta, attempting to withdraw $12,000 from his account with Bank of America. The teller received an alert on his account, according to the police report obtained by CNN, because the amount was more than $10,000. The teller notified her superior that she thought Coogler was trying to rob the bank and 911 was called. Coogler had written a note on the back of his withdrawal slip stating that he wanted the money to be counted discreetly, given the amount, according to the report.

When police arrived, two of Coogler's colleagues, who were waiting for him in a parked vehicle outside the bank, were detained and placed in the back of a police car. Coogler was placed in handcuffs while police investigated the call. "We deeply regret that this incident occurred. It never should have happened and we have apologized to Mr. Coogler," Bank of America said in a statement to CNN. Coogler was in Georgia at the time of the incident, working on production of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," the sequel to his 2018 blockbuster."

I doubt this was as much a case of racial profiling as it is a case of why would you go to a bank and withdraw 12K?? Of course someone is going to think you are robbing the bank. Why do people think they should be able to put their money into a bank and simply waltz in and withdraw large amounts of that money without them being detained and investigated?? How do we know that he wasn't being kidnapped and extorted? How do we know he wasn't indeed robbing that bank?

Most bank robberies are done by signing a withdrawal slip with your name and account number on it; then handing it to a teller along with your ID - it's not always a matter of someone going into a bank with guns drawn. This guy may be some multi-millionaire director just because he directed some racist movie -- but he is clearly too dumb to know how to handle money. Hopefully this incident has taught him a much needed lesson.

It was the unuasual note on the back that raised a red flag.

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

Not everyone has Jewish Privilege.
Any amount over $10k will be reported, as the government believes it is suspicious. They automatically believe you are money laundering or a terrorist.

Why does this Coogler need so much cash anyway? What is he hiding? Is he working for Putin?

What is this Jewish privilege you are talking about??

And what does it have to do with the story?

I am assuming when you say, this Jewish privilege, you are insinuating that a jewish person wouldn't have received the same treatment??

Cool..can you tell me how the teller would have known if a person is Jewish or not?? Coogler himself could be Jewish...how would the teller know??

Or did you not think your anti-semitic bullshit thru that far?

 

[Orangecat]

Clearly neither do you. Per the Bank Secrecy Act all cash transactions of $10,000+ must be reported to the IRS.

Why, though?

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

Perhaps...except, having been someone who withdrew large amounts of cash from my bank...I would also like that to be something that is discreet....

Most banks even offer for security to escort you to your car......this bank went a step further and arranged for the police to escort him to a police car in handcuffs

 

[rightwinger]

It was the unuasual note on the back that raised a red flag.

Seems to be a reasonable request

Not wanting everyone in the bank to see you are walking out with a large amount of cash would seem like the safe thing to do.

 

[Rogue AI]

It was the unuasual note on the back that raised a red flag.

Not to mention a running car waiting outside. Honest mistake seems legit.

Everything is race with this race baiter. Then he should withdraw his funds from Bank of America and go elsewhere, correct?

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

I didn't know the car was running...I saw where it said they were in a "PARKED CAR" -- didn't say it was running...

Also, I didn't see in the story where the teller was aware that there was a "running car" outside waiting on him...

I also doubt that the teller would have behaved any differently if all 3 people were inside the bank at the time of the transaction...

Well, according to one of your right-wing circle jerk teammates -- he should just become Jewish...because apparently this doesn't happen to jewish people..

Why do you think your fellow right-wing dic sucker believes that?

The bank knows it was not a robbery. They had a withdrawal from a legitimate account and I assume they verified his identity.

To me, I could see calling the cops if you thought the people in the car were extorting him for money and wanted to make sure he was safe

But why would you handcuff the person making the withdrawal?

 

[Rogue AI]

If the Bank can point to the many times white customers have been handcuffed for withdrawing $12,000 in cash you can be sure this was not race related

Can you point to race of the teller and manager?

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

Can you point to race of the teller and manager?

I think all black people know each other, so the teller and manager would have obviously known this was a famous film director

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Yes I know.
