5 Investigates Preview: 'Banking While Black': It happened again

It happened again.

Days before our report aired about U.S. Bank calling police on a Black man trying to cash his paycheck, staff at another branch called police on another Black man who was trying to access his own account.

Since our report in December, millions of people have watched the body camera video of Joe Morrow, accused of fraud and handcuffed in Columbia Heights.

Now we have new body camera video of what happened when U.S. Bank called police on Peter Wogbah in Bloomington. Peter shares his story exclusively on Nightcast, tonight at 10pm on KSTP.

That got to suck when it's your own money.

Well time to find another bank I refuse to do business with them if they can't keep race out. This is so so wrong!!

More like "banking while being a stupid Scammer" 🤦

[sharkysmachine]

Blacks and Banks don't seem to mix well 😕 😒

What happened is a clear case of swatting, the caller should be jailed

Why did he need the check reissued? 5 Investigates never really said.

I was sitting in my car at the bank parking lot when a security guard approached me and told me I've been there all day and I need to move and the manager called the police so I should hurry up and leave when I had only been in the parking lot for about 30 minutes I went inside to speak to the manager to figure out what was the problem she told me she didn't call the police and the security guard made a false police report I was escorted out of the bank I need help...

Take all of your money out and try to find a Black friendly bank, where the only color of issue is Green. Then try to have everyone you know boycot that bank.

this guy should be owner of the bank...
