Another instance of crying wolf (racism) where there likely isn't any.
We don't have a clear picture of what happened. We know they were asked to leave by the manager, and refused, at which point that would be trespassing. The question is: why did the manager ask them to leave? Was it simply that two non-paying customers tried to use the washroom and were taking up what could have been a paying table for an extended period of time? That's enough reason in my book. How did they respond when asked to buy something or leave? Were they rude and aggressive? Dismissive? Insulting? Was that why did the manager called the police?
I don't see what the police did wrong here. They arrested two trespassers after giving them ample opportunities to leave.
I'm sad that this is automatically being labelled a racial issue. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but all it is at this point is an assumption and people are running with it as a cut and dry case. It's like all common sense has gone out the window. Why is everyone so self-righteous these days, anyway? I remember being in high school and being asked to leave a diner where we were just hanging out after buying drinks. We were paying customers, but had stayed an extended time. And you know what? We left. Because it's understandable why the diner would need the real estate for paying customers.
The holier-than-thou attitudes of people these days....
