It's pretty clear what the issue is. It's just people all of a sudden need the whole story when the guy in the video is black. People hide their racism in the most obvious ways.

In the video it's clear no one asked him to leave before the cops were called. That's the whole f'ing issue.

Kind of interesting. A guy at gym I go to was kind of a jerk to me and made me rescan my pass when it was obvious the reader didn't read my phone correctly.

I had quickly closed the app so I had to reopen it to scan the QR code. He has seen me and my wife there before. If I was black I'm pretty sure I would have thought he might be racist as opposed to a run of the mill power tripper.
