So I went to Circuit City tonite to get some stuff for my new comp. Got what I wanted and headed to the check out line...a black guys steps in line behind me with a foot locker bag with a cord hanging out of it. The Manager comes over and stands a good 6ft away and tells the guy to open up they bag. The guy asks why and the Manager says is company policy to check all bags in the store. Just as he says this a white guy walks in with a random bag so the guy behind me asks the manager why isnt he checking the others guy bag if its store policy. Manager goes on and on open up your bag...I need your bag...the only thing this guy was saying was what did I do why do you need to see what in my bag........... The manager ends up calling 911 telling them that he is a black male making terraristic threats to him and his customers and that he is causing a scene and cussing at him. Keep in mind none of this is tru. The guy behind me the whole time the manager was talking to the police was giving them his info (height/weight/ DL #/name). In the end the guy wasn't stealing anything. The police ran his tags and searched his car and found nothing. We ended up sticking around to talk to the police (sergent is a friend) and explain what really happen. They ended up letting the guy go after everything.
It really blew my mind that people are still like that. Just b/c this guy was black and dressed a certain way he was assumed to be doing something wrong.
