Video captures a Black man being put in handcuffs for trying to cash his paycheck

‘I am deeply sorry for where we failed and accept full responsibility,’ bank’s president says

"In a blatant incident of racial profiling, a Black man was handcuffed and escorted out of a bank for alleged fraud when he tried to cash his $900 paycheck in Minnesota. Bodycam footage obtained by local news station KTSP showed that Joe Morrow, 23, was arrested at a US Bank branch in Columbia Heights -- Bank manager John Askwith allegedly told the police that Mr Morrow had a fake check despite already verifying with his employer that it was real. According to Mr Morrow, the manager walked over to him and said: “Joe Morrow? Your check is fake... you people always coming in here with fake checks.”

Responding to him, Sergeant Justin Pletcher said: “Joe, I need you to calm down, first of all, OK? Don't say anything stupid because you're just going to get arrested for it.” Soon, another police officer arrived and the manager asked them to take Mr Morrow to another office. He was then handcuffed and quickly stood up from his chair. “I didn't threaten him. I got up, like, I’m mad,” Mr Morrow said. “The guy told the officer, ‘can you get him out of my office? He might take something on my desk.’ That’s when I got super mad."

Looks like a great call by the bank manager and a good arrest by the cops......You can tell he was guilty when he got angry just because the bank manager was worried that he would steal something off his desk...if you aren't a thief, why would that bother you?? ....Second of all, what law-abiding citizen cashes their paychecks at their own bank?? Most real Americans have direct deposit....So yes, that makes you look very suspect ....

But what seemed like a very good call on the part of the bank manager, quickly turned left....as in "woke left" -- Instead of the bank standing behind their own bank manager, they take the side of the so-called "customer" -- just because his check wasn't fake?? -- the bank has even issued him an apology and also offered a settlement....wtf?? What is our country becoming?? There was a time when those kind of people understood that if someone thought they were up to something; they would respect that person's concerns and suspicions....Not act all uppity and offended when we accuse them of something they didn't do, call the cops on them and have them arrested....

I didn't even have to look at the article to know this happened in a blue state.

Something tells me there's more to the story here...

Why would a bank manager not honor a check after confirming with UNFI that the check was real?

Had other people attempted to pass fake UNFI payroll checks? Oh, yes. They have had a string of fake UNFI payroll check at that branch. Interesting.

I don't think the bank handled that well at all. They had been hit by a string of UNFI paycheck fraudsters, but that is still not how to handle it. They can put a hold on all UNFI deposits until money clears. They could have told him that they cannot cash it. Many options.

He did stand up in a threatening manner like he was going to attack the bank manager, so I don't want to hear that bullshit. I saw the video. That is considered assault. He made a bad situation worse.

The fragility.....This is why I pose hypotheticals to folks like you -- so I can watch you lie....

So the fact he stood up in a way that scared the fragile cuck who had the balls to call the cops on him and falsely accuse him....that's assault.....cool....

However, when 600 or so people storm the Capitol tho... those are just patriots "righteously" being upset and taking their country back....

So yea, when i asked you folks would you keep that same energy if a bunch of "non-white" folks do the shit white Conservatives do with impunity -- there is no need to play dumb with your responses...since we know how triggered you get just from a black guy standing up....you much rather see them hunched over with the yassa massa, no massa.....having dignity and the right to be angry...that is basically felonious to fragile cucks like you

not surprised this was in Minn. blue cities are racist

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

So you acknowledge the bank manager was being racist in his treatment of the customer?

Cool....

Only Conservatives like you think the state the racism happens in is relevant....the rest of us don't....

Fuck yeah. Blue cities are FULL of racists, because the people who run them are racists.

it’s certainly relevant…it’s important to know where the racist live and where they are comfortable…so to avoid those states

These blue states, run by dems, electing dems, are a hot bed for racist

 

[Tommy Tainant]

The bank have dropped the ball here. By punishing a loyal employee they will deter other employees from raising legit concerns. I can see the sneaky "darkies" literally getting away with murder.

But what is the answer ?

I bet on more than several posts -- your goofy ass clutched your pearls and said "Racism doesn't exist"

But here, you are saying it does exist..but just in blue states...cool...


So apparently, you are ok with racism as long as it exists in blue states...got it

From what I gather...he wasn't punished...he is still manager.....

Also...the manager lied and told police that he already confirmed the check was fake......when in reality, he never called to confirm it until after the man was arrested......but lying to falsely paint a man as a criminal in the eyes of police is perfectly ok.....

Being upset that you were lied on....now, that is criminal...according to Conservatives....

Joe should probably open an account with another bank ahead of his compensation cheque arriving.

If he were a white man would the article have noted that? In fact, would there be an article at all? I'm not seeing anything in here that indicates this was racial in any way.

The media continues to be the enemy of the people.

What did I lie about?

Who is the fragile little bitch here?

So the fact he stood up in a way that scared the fragile cuck who had the balls to call the cops on him and falsely accuse him....that's assault.....cool....

That is assault, you ass clown. Don't start making this a man-shaming contest. Assault is assault.

2021 Minnesota Statutes​

609.224 ASSAULT IN THE FIFTH DEGREE.​

§Subdivision 1.Misdemeanor.
Whoever does any of the following commits an assault and is guilty of a misdemeanor:
(1) commits an act with intent to cause fear in another of immediate bodily harm or death; or
(2) intentionally inflicts or attempts to inflict bodily harm upon another.


Here's Texas law too:

TITLE 5. OFFENSES AGAINST THE PERSON

CHAPTER 22. ASSAULTIVE OFFENSES

Sec. 22.01. ASSAULT. (a) A person commits an offense if the person:
(1) intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causes bodily injury to another, including the person's spouse;

(3) intentionally or knowingly causes physical contact with another when the person knows or should reasonably believe that the other will regard the contact as offensive or provocative.

Texas Penal Code 22.01 Assault

However, when 600 or so people storm the Capitol tho... those are just patriots "righteously" being upset and taking their country back....

Quit deflecting. You know good and goddamn well the reason for outrage at that shit.

So yea, when i asked you folks would you keep that same energy if a bunch of "non-white" folks do the shit white Conservatives do with impunity -- there is no need to play dumb with your responses...since we know how triggered you get just from a black guy standing up....you much rather see them hunched over with the yassa massa, no massa.....having dignity and the right to be angry...that is basically felonious to fragile cucks like you

You don't seem to understand how deadly that childish bullshit can be. I'm sure you would be bitching your ass off about it all day long if he stood up like that and the other guy drew a firearm and shot him.

He would learn real fast first hand just how fragile he is.

The bank manager allegedly said "you people" so, you know. Black Fragility....
