Unless you've got a more logical reason why someone who isn't a deep seated racist would call the cops to remove two people who are innocently loitering. 


Even counting their words, we still only have guesswork. Until there's more evidence and at this point, I highly doubt it'll be anything more than eyewitness testimony, all we have is guesswork. But it does make for an interesting discussion.

We don't know anything about the employee except that they are no longer employed there.  But I've said we need all the information to know what really happened.

The Police commissioner apologized today for making more of a mess of the situation.

Of course they aren't.  But we also have video of them leading up to their arrest and nothing seems to imply they were disrespectful.

Obviously we can wait for the other side to tell their story.

Maybe a publicity seeking right winger will post something else to bring attention to the story.
