Cop Tells Black Customers They Are 'On The Radar' For Being In Store
Cop Tells Black Customers They Are 'On The Radar' For Being In Store
- 5 minutes
Trying to get more information about
this story, but in my opinion,
some young black customers were
targeted due to their race.
Here it is.
>> Speaker 2: Wait,
they got who on the radar?
>> Speaker 3: You guys are already on
the radar as far as known shoplifters.
[00:00:18]
>> Speaker 2: Well,
I don't even live here.
>> Speaker 3: That's fine.
>> Speaker 2: I live in Texas, and
I had never been to this Meijers.
>> If you're not buying anything,
then we're gonna have to ask you to leave.
>> Speaker 2: But
we got stuff in our hand.
>> Speaker 3: Then you guys
can go ahead and proceed.
But you're already on the radar, okay?
[00:00:33]
>> Speaker 2: On the radar for
what though?
>> Speaker 3: Meijers.
>> Speaker 2: But how are we on the radar,
and I've never been here before?
>> Speaker 3: Listen, madam,
I'm not here to argue with you.
>> Speaker 2: But
I am because that's racially profiling.
>> Speaker 2: No, if you're on the radar
[CROSSTALK]
>> Speaker 2: What is a picture
of us or something?
[00:00:49]
>> Speaker 2: Right, I need to see.
Okay, let me see.
Cuz I've never been to
this Meijers before.
Yeah, cuz I've never been
to this Meijers before.
I don't even live here.
>> Speaker 2: I was just
gotten a call on you.
>> Speaker 2: What do you
mean a call on me for what?
>> Speaker 2: One of my employees.
[00:01:04]
>> Speaker 2: Because we
just literally walked in.
>> Speaker 2: We just walked in, so
how you all noticed some
suspicious activities?
>> Speaker 2: Okay, so
where the employee at?
>> Be quiet.
I'm not going to argue with you
neither because I'm definitely going
to sue you all.
[00:01:20]
This is definitely getting recorded
because that's racially profiling.
Don't call no police in this bitch and
we ain't here.
>> Speaker 1: Put up
the picture of the officer.
Officer, you said they
were already on the radar.
[00:01:36]
Typically that means
they have been spotted,
observed committing some act
that is possibly illegal.
But you know that's not the case, officer.
[00:01:54]
So you could not provide any additional
information when they stood up for
their rights.
Management and
the officer initially accused
the women of being returning shoplifters.
[00:02:13]
Okay, well that means you
should be arrested on sight,
because that would be criminal trespass
if you are on the property and
you were told never to come back
due to a shoplifting incident.
[00:02:31]
When they pressed them for
photos, the story changes,
saying an employee called them in.
So at first it was hey,
we know you're a shoplifter.
They said, well where's the picture?
[00:02:46]
Where's the photo?
We literally just stepped in here and
we're not even from here, so
you have never seen us here.
So where's the picture?
Story changes.
Well an employee called.
Yes, it was an employee.
[00:03:03]
Put up the picture again.
Want you to notice something, right,
so they said an employee called.
They're unable to produce
the employee who did so.
But you know what he does
have in his left hand?
He has mace.
That is mace.
[00:03:18]
He's ready to mace somebody, for what?
The officer also keeps his pepper
spray drawn during the majority of
the confrontation.
So information about the location
of the store is unknown.
The names of the individuals involved,
unknown.
[00:03:36]
I need more information.
If you have information about this
incident, tag Indisputable, tag me.
We want to get to the bottom of it.
And I got to say thank you to
the heroes who stood up for
[00:03:53]
their rights and
demanded respect and recorded it.
Thank you.
You have done a service
to this nation and beyond.
David, thoughts?
>> Speaker 4: It's racial profiling,
clear and simple.
And I do hope that somebody comes forward
and identifies this police officer,
because there's no room for
racial profiling in our society in 2023.
[00:04:10]
A police officer if he feels that there's
something sort of suspicious going on,
there's nothing to stop.
There's nothing that prevents a police
officer from walking up and saying, hey,
you're in the store.
You want to talk to me a little bit?
At that point if a woman or man decides,
no, I don't want to talk to you,
that is their constitutional right.
[00:04:27]
And a police officer cannot intimidate or
threaten them.
But police officers have a lot of
latitude in terms of how they might
do an investigation, about how they might
try to determine what's really going on.
If a police officer is really
worth his salt, he will go up,
have a pleasant conversation,
not escalate.
[00:04:43]
Simply, hey,
let's have a little talk if you'd like.
I'm trying to protect the safety
of the people in the store.
But for a police officer to walk up,
to racially profile, to have that mace in
hand shows that police officer
has already made up his mind, and
that guy should not be a cop.
>> Speaker 1: Very well said.
[00:04:58]
I'm looking forward to the update.
Please make sure you contact us.
