He had the audacity to unlock the door at his own business. It's a shame that anyplace in the United States of America has this much bigotry and intolerance. We should expel this s-hole from the Union.


quote:

Viktor Stevenson, a black man who is the owner of Gourmonade, told AJ+ in an interview that he was checking to see if the security system for his lemonade stand was working when four cops approached him. He said one of the officers had his hand on his gun.

"The officer said 'Can you prove that this is your business?' and I said 'Absolutely. Like, I have the key,'" Stevenson told AJ+. "I opened and closed the doors."

I don't see anything at all wrong with the way that was handled. They say he was testing the security system, so I am guessing he set the alarm off. Police came and verified that he was supposed to be there. Sounds like the perfect response in that situation.

Police never confirmed the story, how convenient for the "story". Although "story" might be the right description.

I’ve had cops called on me before for stupid shite like this and I’m white as can be.

Cops also rest their hands on their belt, often on top of their gun on one side.

This is another bullshite nonstory trying to create a false narrative. I don’t know how anyone works for SFPD. God bless those baws.

Story seems to indicate somebody called them - otherwise the cops just would have said "Alarm went off".

I find it more interesting that calling the cops on black folk for no good reason seems to be a common theme in San Francisco. Same people who call the rest of us racist deplorables.

White liberals are the most racist group in the country. Pretty much everything they do is along the lines of “muh black and Hispanic people are too stupid and poor to do XYZ”.

My favorite liberal argument of late in regard to the southern border is, “who will clean our toilets and mow our lawns?”

OP is racist. I’ve gone to my office at 2 am because alarm went off in Baton Rouge. Side door was left open by warehouse guy so I had to prove that I worked there as well as I beat the cops there. Nothing wrong with cops asking the person on the premises to verify his/her id especially when they are there before the cops. F the OP

330 million people in the US, I bet we can find a racist story a day even if not looking for it.

If the alarm went off then the alarm company notified dispatch and officers were called.

They verified the owner was the owner because, well, that’s their job.

You know, like to make sure the owner isn’t an actual burglar.

But maybe my whiteness has it wrong.

exactly, 100% agree

the only racist thing about all this is the OP's insane claims it is somehow racism that cops investigate who set off the alarms, and the fact he wasnt shot on sight proves the cops didnt over react and followed their training.

the claims of "had his hand on his gun" are you frickin kidding me???????? with all the calls by racists blacks to kill cops they have the audacity to question a cop taking a defensive stance when dealing a suspected burglar with unknown intentions

as a business owner, he should be thrilled that people would report suspicious activity outside his business.

If someone had been breaking in, and people saw and didn’t report it, he would say it’s because he is a black business owner and people just let it happen.

Cops were just doing their jobs.

The racist was whoever called them (the article suggest it was a call, not the alarm). And the point of the thread is the irony of white progs constantly calling the cops on black people.

If this had happened in the South, our resident proggies would have been all over it and Talcum X would be bloviating on Twitter.

Dad says that people (of every race) who contribute positively to society don't have time to discuss race every day because they have other more important things to do. He also says that those who discuss race all the time are almost always non-contributors to society.

I asked him "what about Dr. King?" He said "I live in the present so I'm talking about now."

There is so much "race" and "Trump" on social media now I get tired of it sometimes.

Read the whole article. Did I miss where it said a white person called? Or, is this just a racist assumption, too?
