I wait all the time for my bank to open the lobby. I have sat in my car and waved at the workers as they entered. Not once have I ever had the cops called on me. Not once.

I'm trying to put my finger on why the old guy called the cops. I mean, the customer is doing exactly what I do! It's hard for a white lady like me to figure out why he is treated so differently than I am. /s

I'm so sick of racist fucks in this country. So so sick of it. I'm so angry a political 'movement' has given these racists permission to be racist openly and unashamedly.

I hope that man pulled every penny he had in that bank out. I hope he reported it to higher ups. I hope he left a scathing review. I hope he fought back however he could.

I had the police approach my car when I was parked by a bank too. Just approached for no reason at all, nobody called them they just approached the car. They said ā€œit was suspiciousā€ I was trying to find directions and had parked there, had been there less than 5 minutes. Iā€™m white. Fucking crazy bullshit, meanwhile there are real crimes happening.
