(310 posts)seemed professional and acted OK. It was when Macho Man stepped in that things went downhill...the white male cop is an idiot and a racist....

(53,235 posts)to address Lollie, she could have told him what she was required to do and offered him a way to register his complaint (if any).
But she didn't do that. She did the "nice lady" bullying.

(28,936 posts)If you listen to the lady cop she is trying to figure out why there was a call from the bank security guards complaining about him sitting there. She knows no laws have been broken and it was all just a misunderstanding as the fellow eloquently explains that NOTHING WAS FUCKING posted about the bench not being public. If it had been me listening to him I would have IMEDIATLY understood EXACTLY WHAT WENT DOWN! A big fucking misunderstanding rooted in the bank security guards fear of black people and not liking being ignored. The black fellow did what anyone would do if someone were to come up and tell them to leave what they think is a public bench and is not labeled as private; he reacted because he believed he was not being treated fairly which he wasn't! So the cops show up and ask him to move and so he DOES and starts walking with the idiot lady cop who should have intervened and stopped the arrest after she knew what was up but she is just a nicer racist. Meanwhile the male cop is talking to the security guards who I am sure were riled up because they got into it with him by being ASS HOLES and telling him to leave because yes, he is BLACK and that made them feel uncomfortable and scared for no reason but because he is black. So the bank security guards blow the whole thing out of proportion and get the male cop all riled up because he didn't just up and move like a "good little black boy". In his little prejudiced mind he determines that the black fellow is "suspicious" because he takes the security guards words at face value with no skepticism and decides he is going to arrest him WITHOUT GETTING THE BLACK FELLOWS side of the story which I am sure since the charges were dropped was much more compelling!
FUCK BOTH THE COPS!!! FUCK THEM! Fucking ass holes that have no business being cops! Why doesn't the fucking bank do everyone a favor and put a "Whites Only" sign on the bench so we know exactly where they stand?
