Cops Wrongly Handcuff Realtor, Client and 15-Year-Old Boy

A Black real estate agent, his client and his client’s 15-year-old son had guns pointed at them and were placed in handcuffs by police during a showing of a Michigan home Sunday afternoon after a neighbor called the cops to report a break-in. Humiliated, realtor Eric Brown and potential homebuyer Roy Thorne say this would have never happened if they were white. Thorne said he made sure to keep his son behind him as they were walking out, so that if he was shot, his son would hopefully be spared.

I'm 101% sure that the clown who called the cops was a Karen.

Now fine the people who called the cops.

If anyone is to blame here is those damn neighbors. Not too long ago this old man approached me on my way to my mail box and asked me if I lived around there 😡 I said, yeah. Do you? And walked away.

The person who called the cops should be held accountable.

I’m guessing they didn’t buy the house after finding out the next door neighbor calls the cops every time the wind blows.

Idiot neighbors. Putting innocent lives in danger, and wasting police's time and resources.

Find out who she is, she just stopped a client, potentially. He definitely won’t buy now. So in that case sir, you don’t get to feed yourself.

I personally wouldn't want to live in the same neighborhood as a Karen.

[AllenHanPR]

That realtor just lost his potential buyer after that experience. The buyers likely won't want nosy/prejudice neighbors like that.

Imagine calling the police because 3 black guys walk into a house? The neighbors should be arrested.

Imagine having your teenage child handcuffed and detained for doing absolutely nothing wrong AT ALL.

They need a Karen's act in this town for incidents like this

Were they profiled, yes. Not by police, but by the neighbors. (Edited for spelling)

[maryrose]

I wouldn't have brought a house in that neighbourhood either.

[illmaticTKD]

Neighbors should be held accountable, they called a breaking in when in reality they didnt know what tf is going on, let's not bash police on this one

[trentsavage]

Actually the police didn’t profile them because they followed protocol, it was the Karen who called that profiled them.

[Frenite]

Those neighbors need to be held accountable for making a false police call. They wasted the police’s time and potentially endangered lives.

[retlem]

People who make false calls to police should be charged with a crime

As a Black man I’m very proud & grateful these officers were professional and the neighbors need to go to jail for a few weeks.

I’m real curious to know if that house was in fact broken into the week before, or if that was the PD’s way of covering the actions of these officers. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was a lie!
