I said what he needed was a sincere apology. Pure speculation, but I’m guessing had they not felt something, at the very least, questionable had taken place, they wouldn’t have said a thing. We shall see…

No one has ever stopped me for looking like I don’t belong somewhere so I’m trying to figure out the motivation for detaining him from carrying on his walk.

Was his bow-tie crooked? Were his penny-loafers scuffed? Was he taking his flat-screen for a walk? What was the visual red-flag about him, that made WHOEVER (citizen or officer) believe that he couldn’t possibly live in the house he was leaving, and on the street he was walking down. This is what we all need to know.

This statement isn’t meant to discount any accounts of racial profiling- just to emphasize that at least one Decatur officer needs to improve his interactions with the public in general, regardless of race.
