2. The police found it not likely that a Black man was a store owner and that's the bottom line!!!

3. Had the store been broken into they would have been fired when they said “yeah, we saw people inside the store at 1am but it’s none of our business. What a joke.

4. Actually this would be a very common tactic for a burglar to make it look like everything is normal. This store owner is just a jackass.

5. If I was a business owner, I’d be kind of happy an officer noticed people in the business after hours and wanted to check it out. But I understand the rights of not wanting to deal with the officer for no reason

6. I went into my dad's business on a college campus one night at like 9 PM. The officers saw me and asked me questions. I was happy to see my fathers property was being protected.

7. Lazy investigating habits equals terrible law enforcement results. Cops: take the least invasive method of investigation instead of demanding shortcuts by stomping on civil rights.

8. Pathetic that the officer would take the word of a total stranger on the street who is probably white as opposed to believing that the black owner was telling the truth.

9. he should of just shut up and did as the cop ask then of trying to make it about him being black i would give him a F

10. I find it interesting that police have such a difficult time articulating what their concern is. His concern is obviously that this guy has broken into the store and is stealing merchandise. His concern is not that it's late at night and all the businesses are closed. That is the observation that creates his concern that a burglary might be occurring.

    The problem is that there is nothing the store owner is going to be able to say or do that will alleviate this unreasonable cop's suspicion. If he says I own the store and we are restocking (as the cop suggested), The cop will say well, prove to me you own the store. If the store owner pulls out a rental agreement, or his mortgage or the title to the property and shows it to the cop, The cop is going to say how do I know this is you? I need to see your driver's license. So he pulls out his driver's license. Well let's say the mortgage is in the name of his corporation, not his name privately as Is generally the case, the cop will say there's no evidence that you are Independent Boutique LLC. Let's say the store owner then is able to pull out his incorporation papers, or his tax statements which clearly show that he is the owner of independent Boutique LLC. Then the cop says well. I don't believe any of this b***** paperwork and arrests him anyway, because he can and he will not suffer any negative repercussions. A short period of observation without intervention certainly would have been more useful to dissuade this cop that Mr. Khalif was simply conducting normal business in his store.

    The cop didn't require any proof from the guy who confirmed the Khalif was the store owner because it allowed the cop to back down and not lose face. Because of course not losing face is the most important thing to a cop!

    I'm not sure why Mr. Khalif didn't just retreat into the store and lock the door behind him!

11. We had a cop follow us into the parking lot of our business around midnight. We had to retrieve some records that we had left there. We unlocked the door, walked in, turned on the lights, closed and locked the door, and looked out the window to see who had followed us! Saw It was a police car. It dove by turned around and exited the parking lot.

12. I love it, when people who have to take the citizenship test really study that Bill of Rights! I also appreciate that when you possibly come from a country where you have no civil rights, you choose to make sure you exercise them whenever you have a chance!❤

13. Another Racist Hate Crime against black people.
    Threatening innocent black people with the use of deadly force should be ilegal for white police to do.
    That's also a case of Deprivation Of Rights Under Color Of Law.

14. DUMB COPS. DUMB COPS. DUMB COPS DUMB COPS!!!!!

15. He just has to be in charge

16. Now, in this case, I don't feel that the officer is doing anything wrong by making sure the store is safe because it is out of the norm for the store to get open at 1 am. Now, asking him to prove he owns the store is a bit much.

17. One time I was doing night work at a sprint cell phone store and I was cutting the carpets and I cut a security line that had a silent alarm. The cops set up in the large parking lot watching us with a box truck, two dozen pallets of carpet and bunch of 5 gallon buckets of paint and a bunch of ladders everywhere. They came in like swat at 100 mph. They literally could have used their eyes and brain and avoided all of it. They want to escalate things out of it being “fun”. Adrenaline is a drug these days.

18. Live from New York it’s Saturday Night Live
    😂😂😂

19. Disgusting cops.
    Resigned. Great. I hope they aren't LEOs elsewhere.

20. When a white man said he owned the store look what happened

21. Noticed he said Our community wake up

22. I dont need to justify myself to you,government functionary.unless you suspect me of a crime.

23. This lazy policing horse spit is a disgrace.

    There are rules and laws and correct sequences of correct actions, and they are written down in a book.

    Instead of doing what the rules say to do, the cops try and take the easy way out instead.

    One would swear they were infantry privates, cutting corners left and right, and using every loophole and act of low cunning to make their lives easier and avoid extra work.

    That is an admirable trait in a soldier, cognitive adaptability and asymmetric problem solving will keep a soldier alive in the entropy of war.

    In a cop, it is a betrayal of trust. Cops do not have enemies, the community is not a war zone, and there is a clear procedure for every situation a cop encounters.

    When the cops deviate, they introduce more points where the system can fail and a citizen can be victimized by the cops simply because the police officer was too lazy to follow the rules they were taught to follow.

    This was not looking out for the community, it was looking out for the cop and his pitiful excuse for a supervisor.

    Each time this happens, policing resources are completely wasted. That time and those resources were not and are not being used for law enforcement.

    It is unacceptable and laziness of the lowest order. There is no excuse for this behaviour, and it should be corrected with prejudice at every opportunity.

    Post Script: I was an infantry private for a time, and that was a loving joke from a cousin in arms, and not a slander by a civvy.

24. You should have said to that member of the 'Blue Gang': 'You are dismissed" !!!!

25. The cases you’ve outlined in this video are blowing my mind! I know I’m late to this video but I’m shook given he opened the door and talked to them!!

26. did he request 'service'? he's there late to work, genius

27. Because as soon as it’s closing time, nobody is allowed in their own business. Closing time is 8pm? Nobody is allowed there at 8:01pm! Not like you could be remodeling or stocking or conducting business after closing time…

28. I was on the business owners side fully until he tried to turn it into a race issue.. There is no evidence of racism and pretending otherwise is just racism on the part of the owner. This mentality is just as detrimental as the reverse if they were profiled, because that's exactly what the owner is doing racial profiling.

29. Officer is suspicious of a black man in a store after-hours. Just kept asking the question, "why are you here so late."

30. Uh oh, the “odd police!” 😂

31. On that one I just gave my ID. They were looking out.

32. Stupid cops.
    is the window broken, no
    is the lock broken? No !
    Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty. These cops need to go back to cops School OR be fired for being too stupid to be a cop.

33. Yeah, I rob stores with all the lights open at night. These cops are so fucking simple minded my
    God

34. First of all, the store was locked and not open for business. This was all about the cops ego. They wanted him to be greatful. That’s not how this works!

35. There's no problem. Then leave. Its as easy as that

36. Why couldn’t he just tell him why he’s there late ? I know he doesn’t have too but good grief, both escalated this

37. What bothers me it took a White man to tell them it was his store for them to back off…

38. America police are very similar to Nazi Germany SS officers.

39. Because the stranger was a white person.

40. I dont think a protest was needed. The cops left they honestly wanted to know if he owned the store. Yall be in uproar if the same officer waved at them and walked away next morning news saying the store was robbed. Yall would of came after that same cop. Listen i wouldnt wanna be a cops seems like a lose lose situation
