Was an attorney racially profiled in a local store?

A local attorney says she was the victim of racial profiling in a local Talbot's store.

Well they racially profiled the wrong one. That's why people shouldn't judge a person by the color of their skin.

[charlesschirripa]

the employee that called the cops should be fired

[jamesdyer]

Just imagine what life was like for our grand parents and great grands. No Video, no representation. Who would believe you. Where you going... What you doing... BOY! Half of us would have just died.

[alvincolbert]

That law degree didn't protect her...from being profiled...

[tinadiggs]

Talbot's needs to fire the racist troll.

I love when bigots, mess with the right one! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[coverinthebloodrobinson]

Boycott that company. This is happening to often now

I lived in Detroit all my life, except for my years at college. Gross Pointe is racist as hell! In fact all the Pointes are. St Clare Shores is as well along with East Point. This happens all the time. The clerk just picked the wrong Black woman this time. And I know she didn’t look like she was stealing anything!

I love it when they claim that it was an isolated incident. Whoever believes that is either very naive or intentionally trying to avoid blame. Usually, shoplifting doesn't occur until a person tries to leave the building. The fact that the police approached her and searched her bag indicates that this is a normal procedure.

When they get caught doing what they always 'RACIAL PROFILE', you tend to hear the many excuses. As an attorney i hope finds the time file a defamation of character lawsuit. And the employee who called the police be immediately terminated.

It exactly reflects your store’s lack of culture actually! Whenever you racially profiled someone, you don’t lose one customer, you lose all the potential customers who are disgusted by your behavior.

[mrscpjones]

Hell yeah, this is a violation of her civil rights and human rights.

[paulwilliams]

"Isolated incident" my ASS other incidents were thoughts

[michellemorris]

She handled herself professionally. She represented well.

[NeuroDeviant]

"...an isolated incident that does not reflect the Talbot's culture". Maybe not, but it reflects American culture of which Talbot's is a part.

[mrpaulgrimm]

When the cops are called on you. You’re guilty in their eyes

[syhhard]

At least the police officers took the time to actually look and ask questions

[DavidWright-yhzx]

Stuff the apology cut a BIG FAT cheque ASAP!!!

[mrscpjones]

Black people keep your receipts. Be careful what stores you patronize. Have a witness when you go shopping.

Unfortunately, most of us black/brown people get profiled. If you haven’t as of yet just keep living.
