Ohio bank calls police on black man trying to cash check

So at which point was the police called?

No one is clicking

they handed McCowns back his check, for roughly $1,000.

If I'm forging checks I'm going for more than $1k.

It is a rhetorical fallacy to take one incident and assume it represents the norm

This is not the norm.

Now use the same line of reasoning on this site to show that one cold snap does not disprove global warming.

yea this isnt a great look

There’s a little more to the story-

quote:

---

Multiple tellers then debated whether the check was legitimate, and after failing to reach his employer, they handed McCowns back his check, for roughly $1,000.

Did they overreact? Probably. I’d assume though that it is SOP to notify the authorities when they suspect someone of trying to cash a forged check.

Did the cops need to handcuff him? I’d say probably not, but the article is very light on details. The cops could just be assholes, or he could’ve been irate, because the bank refused to cash his check, and could’ve given the cops a reason to cuff him.

As in all such cases, I’ll wait until all of the evidence is presented before making my decision as to who was in the wrong and how wrong they were.

Well I dont blame him for being pissed off...

Get an account at a bank and this doesn’t happen......
