Suppose these guys pulled out a gun and the store manager later said they were acting suspicious but he didnt want to take action because he worried about being labeled a racist. He clearly did the right thing not only for himself but his fellow workers and the customers.

There was no crime being committed whatsoever, no weapons on the guys, so why are you talking about shootings and robberies? So you suggest people call the police every time they see a black person in order to be "better safe than sorry"? What would you suggest the parameters be?

It kills me that you guys can't even admit that what happened here was racial profiling. This is a textbook example. These guys were barely in there long enough to sit down and had the cops called on them, for what exactly? And you guys are sitting here talking about their clothes, totally unrelated crimes, everything except to just admit that "Hey, maybe this was fucked up."
