Police confuses race with criminality

A restaurant employee gets a phone call from someone asking him to place money in a trash bag and place it outside. The person on the phone warns that he has four armed accomplices inside the restaurant.

One employee alerts the police. The police officers arrive, notice seven black men on a table, make super assumptions regarding them, and on gun point make them kneel down outside, then go ahead to check their recent phone call records, only to find out that these men had no business with the threats.

That the police officers assumed being black meant being potentially criminal is clearly indicative of highly insensitive attitude and complete lack of minimum diversity training. Of course the court dismissed the race discrimination lawsuit with a $100,000 settlement, an apology and a pledge from the city to improve officer training.
