Mistaken Identity Leads to International Outrage

[Night Watchman]

The hotel clerk sounds like she's twelve.

Odd: I didn't hear the words "apologize" or "sorry."

1. "False accusations made against you...are regrettable"

If you regret the actions, APOLOGIZE

[get the red out]

3. Stupid!

A terrorist is really going to dress in the traditional clothing of his culture and publicly speak Arabic on the phone so that he can stand out in a crowd, sure. Such ignorance lead to police harassment of an innocent man here to seek medical care.

How can people be this stupid?

4. Does that desk clerk speak Arabic?

How did she know what he was saying?
She should be fired.

5. The clerk should be arrested for filing a false report, and the Barney's for assault.

That was a stupid takedown - I would hope he sues the ever living shit out of that typically ignorant town.

And there really isn't any reason he can't own that hotel after the judgment against them for their clerk's willful misrepresentation.

9. Won't happen in Ohio. The 911 caller who blatantly lied to the police and got John Crawford killed

didn't face any charges, so I seriously doubt that stupid girl will.

7. Unfortunately, this is what we get when we glorify someone like tRump.

Look at all the free publicity that tRump gets. He doesn't need a campaign war chest, the networks and the MSM give him more free air time than either party could afford to buy. And he spews nothing but hate and divisiveness and nobody in the MSM calls him on his hate mongering. He doesn't even bother using dog-whistles he uses a fog horn and while the Republicans keep their distance from him, they are secretly dancing with joy that he is 'getting the message out' and energizing the base. The GOP has preached hate and fear for 50 years and, in tRump, they are finally seeing their hate mongering coming to fruition.

8. People making frivolous calls to 911 is a serious problem.

This guy has a heart condition. If he'd died as a result of that police stop, there would be an international incident.

11. Please... The cops still would have skated somehow...

[Chakab]

13. Oh, I don't think for one minute that the cops would have been punished if he'd died.

However, it would have created embarrassment internationally similar to what happened in the case of Sureshbhai Patel.

10. This isn't mistaken identity

it's a racist making up complete lies to cause bad things to happen to someone for no good reason.

[Blue_Tires]

12. Racial profiling is bad, folks...

Yet it keeps on spreading...

14. Thank you for posting this.

I was going to bump my thread from a couple of days ago. I think more Americans need to be aware of the fear and overreaction present in our country.
