Thats actually not a lie. It was his job to take the packages to be delivered. The only issue is how did that package turn up 10 minutes later. He posted these videos on his tic tok page.
@@cameronlewis7029he dropped it off to either fed ex or ups. I can’t remember. It was an issue with the shipping label so I assumed he dropped it off to the wrong place.
Don’t worry, that employee has a good lawsuit. They never talked to him or asked him any questions, they just pointed their finger and had the police arrest him. The police also dropped the ball by not questioning him. They just arrested him. It also doesn’t help that the man they arrested and accused is black.
Scumbag business. He should have first apologized and given him the rest of the week off. Sponsoring a dinner for him and his family! The Golden rule is real oppessors!
The officer mentioning the "THC" pen to his employer, after a false arrest, was really turning the knife in the wound. That's a bastard if I ever saw one
It is also literally defamatory, this cop will likely be sued over that. It was and is tortious interference with business dealings. In other words the cop (unintentionally or intentionally) fucked up his income or could have fucked up his income by repeating false and defamatory allegations to his boss, with no legitimate reason to do so.
@@walkingdeadman4208 I think this video would prove his reason for separation was NOT his fault. The company might try to deny it but the judge can approve it with this video proof.
i have no reason to believe it was intentional. careless and stupid mistake, but i doubt it was intentional. otherwise they would have just "lost" instead of calling the cops to say "oh hey wait dont arrest taht guy we found the missing item" the story is the cops just up and arresting someone on felony charges with zero proof other than the owners word...
They didn't even talk to the guy. He thought it was a joke. They just called the cops and said he did something. He should have some civil claim for what they did to him.
@@__shifty He said he saw him leave with the package when he didn't, so he couldn't have seen him leave with the package. The only other possibility is if he left with another package which it doesn't sound like that's the case. So it sounds like it was a straight up lie.
@@__shifty- It was intentional, in that the police were intentionally called, James was intentionally implicated, and the officer's boy intentionally told the police that there is video of James leaving the facility with the missing item in a box and returning to the facility without the box. That's not the same thing as intentionally falsely accusing James. But at best, they were grossly negligent and reckless and they intentionally implicated James and intentionally claimed to have video evidence of him stealing the item, when he was innocent and the item wasn't even stolen. So, James was wrongfully accused, wrongfully implicated to the police, wrongfully arrested by the police, and apparently wrongfully terminated - all due to lack of due diligence by the company and the police. Again, that's at best. There may have been something malicious going on.
I would sue the hell out of both parties separately!!!! Take that money and start his own company!! They most likely want to give his job to a buddy and needed him gone quickly. They are hoping he just goes away!! I would also sue the FALSE WITNESS TOO!!😢😢

@@this1aintinusethen mfer say “I was tryna charge him with that but they didn’t grant it” like damn bruh either he racist or just straight up hate a stranger
The cop even said that he wanted to charge him for the cbd pen, but they wouldn't grant it. He was trying to destroy this man's life by any means necessary.
Because if they can arrest him for anything real, it would invalidate an unlawful arrest. Thankfully he has a great lawsuit. I’m usually against suing everyone for everything but this was malicious. They didn’t bother searching before calling the police on James.
Keep his mouth shut for what? This is a clear civil rights violation. He can speak out now against this injustice. He did well during his unlawful arrest. But I understand your reasoning. Corrupt cops.

@ater6246VA's unemployment benefits site does state being fired as still being able to qualify for benefits, it's not an automatic disqualification. What if I was fired from my job? If you entered "Fired" or "Discharged" as the reason for your separation, or if either reason was reported by your employer as the reason for your separation, you must have a fact finding interview with a deputy to determine if you are qualified for benefits. You will receive notice of the date and time the deputy will contact you. If you were discharged or fired, the burden is on the employer to show that you were released because of misconduct in connection with work.
@mikecates2158 eh no the law doesn't work like that, if your employer bypasses all your contractual rights and processes afforded to you by contracted law and go straight to, i'll call my buddy in the police ...... if your employer has you embarrassed and put in chains in front of colleagues and peers for no legitimate reason then they have made your position untenable, if he quit he will get a bit less if they fired him he'd probably get bit more and they'd prob face fines too

Who the hell wants to work for a company that starts an investigation into a missing item by having cops show up and handcuff an employee? All employees should get another job and quit. Are they gonna handcuff you cuz the owner misplaces his own car keys?
Sometimes (believe it or not) most of these folk in management instigate and aim to do and put setups in play to get people fired or make them so uncomfortable with bs and bullying, that they'll leave. You have alot of sad and pathetic minds in the work place. Plue, some of the things that they are thinking is wheeeeeeeeeeeeeew!
The pig told James, he was looking out for him. After telling his boss that he had a weed pen on him and that he even tried to charge him for it after a false arrest. Man these police make me sick.
Never trust one word out of a Cops mouth. Most of the time they just lie because they don’t wanna look stupid and they really don’t know the answer to whatever it is because they are just some dude. They got trained for six weeks to get a gun and a badge. They don’t have that job because they are smart.
Holy shit bro that video was fricking insane, and the female cop shooting at the vehicle like a moron as well without using her brain to realize he was the only one firing shots, that video is a mess.
Do you people have any idea how absolutely dumb you sound? The employer set him up to get fired and arrested, so he could call the cops 10 minutes later and report that the package wasn’t missing? BRILLIANT ANALYSIS!!!
Likely the employer hid the box in his desk then called cops. He got arrested and due to company policy the victim gets fired. Employer saves himself looking for other reasons to fire him.
Yep. Cop was hinting at "see, Im doing you a favor here." One last intimidation tactic before they leave. I bet that cop was on the phone with his friend formulating a story of how James has been a bad employee to give him REASON to assume he would've done it.
It was flexing that master mentality. Those chains were symbolic. It was a reminder that listen up black man GBRS deemed you got out of line so I’m gonna put you in your chains as the catcher. The whole thing is effing atrocious.

@@johnmichaelkarma GBRS had all of his belongings waiting for him and the cop when they brought him back. Kinda looks like they fired him after the fact, which is a good thing. Even in states with 'at will' employment, you can sue for unlawful separation. This is a text book example.
@@styner3 Without real hard evidence it is only a question I thought worth considering. Since they had no real cause to fire AND they realized it soon they looked bad enough already. Why would they double down on their stupidity and fire him? They could be so embarrassed they knew they could never work together again so firing does make some sense. Just trying to look at available evidence and consider things.
@@johnmichaelkarma I disagree. If he quit, he'd have to prove that it was a hostile work environment to file for unemployment. And while falsely reporting him for theft should make that case, it mike take a bit of work. By firing him, they proved it. Not only the false accusation, but the admission that he could not work there after being treated like trash.
If it was my company, that super would be in deep doo-doo for putting my company's good name in jeopardy. James would have gotten a personal apology, a raise, and a nice vacation, all expenses paid.
By denying he was arrested they admitted to kidnapping him. This is so embarrassing for an innocent man to endure. An accusation of a miss-shipment is not probable cause for an arrest. The company needs to be sued, the police need to be sued. The officer who conspired with the company guy needs to be criminally charged. The guy who lied on the police report needs to be charged also.
@@rhettbaldwin8320possibly but does that need to entail all of this and this swiftly? I mean they stated near the beginning that the alleged criminal hadn’t even been approached or talked to yet. That’s common sense IMO to handle that right away.. especially given the nature of what’s “alleged”. Plus the fact that all of this could’ve easily been fabricated by the employer(s) or other employees who just wanted to see this happen to this poor guy. And that’s where the biggest issue lies and what opens them to civil litigation.. again IMO.
Funny thing is, that company GBRS is founded by ex Navy seals. DJ and Cole are very famous. I heard they they only hire gold star veterans or family members of, so to think they did this to one of their own gives me really bad feelings about this..
Arrested with zero investigation, this guy should sue the city, the cops, the mayor, the company. It should never be this easy to get someone else arrested.
With the right accusations you can wreck someone's life. Accuse a parent or teacher of child sex abuse and watch the fireworks. Sadly it is that easy. My sister lost custody of her toddler for nearly a year solely on a baseless accusation, accuser was ex boyfriends parents who so happened to take custody during the investigations while my sister had to pay for supervised visitation and around 10k in legal fees getting it sorted out.
Makes me wonder if this was intended. He could even go back to his office. And they had all his stuff packed up AFTER they found the missing parcel They don’t want him there.
the accused should get at least 2 years of his previous salary - bare minimum from the employer and also some damages for being falsely arrested for a favor / friendship....
but he did loose the package, he dropped it off at fedx instead of ups. this video took place about 2 weeks after it was shipped. this part was not clear in the video and it totaly changes everything. so he was fired for theft or incompetency, that is also not clear. the cops are the big loosers here.
I pray that good lawyer will stand up to help those innocent who were being abused through the crooked power of police forces!! Yes this is not tolerated!!!
James needs to sue both the employer for racial profiling/wrongful termination as well as sue the police for violating his 4th amendment rights as they did hardly any investigation before arresting the guy.
@@dylanarmstrong9328it's a shame why hire the guy in the first place if your wouldn't even respect him enough question him about it. He coul e even questioned him with the police
They figured he would make a scene, put up a fight and get arrested for resisting or something else. Calling the cops on innocent black men is still a thing. Instead, James kept his cool, complied and even smiled at the officers as they let him go. He reserved his anger for the lawsuit he has coming. He's a smart man and I hope he gets paid big.
That's exactly what I thought they obviously wanted him out and used "his boy" the corrupt cop to do it... How sad they had to do that to an innocent man and I hope no one ever uses that company again, and we can only hope karma will get them...

@@7jbartley He didn't. He just wanted to put more fuel to the fire that they started and hoping the wind would blow the heat away from them and onto the employee. Did you notice the very clever way the officer got a warrantless search of the employees trunk by asking him to open it up to drop his belongings in instead of just handing the belongings directly to the man?
Weed (and marijuana products) are legal in Virginia. However, everybody knows if you get caught with it at work you're going to get fired. The cop mentioned it to his buddy so he can claim it wasn't wrongful termination and get out of paying unemployment benefits.
@@panhandlersparadise1733well, let's not forget that even if an employer allows it, in the state where its legal, if you work in a facility, private company, and you have marijuana and you sell guns, it's a federal offense
@@28ebdh3udnav Incorrect, the law clearly states it is illegal if CONSUMED at the work place. There was no proof that James had used it at work. Carrying a vape pen is legal, even at the work place.

He went from employee to owning his own company. I tell people all the time, never trust your boss. Cops a douche for trying to bust him for anything, even a weed pen.
Been there, done that. As a federal contractor, I had a boss once who came to the USA from Bosnia. He was 10 years younger than me. He had been in the war in Bosnia and was brought in the US Army at his old rank. When he ETS'd, he did the same as me and became a federal contractor. Don't ask me how but he had more rank than me (I had 15 more total years of fed service than him), and I reported to him. He was a pervert. He was always trying to get me to do stuff with him and I always told him to take a hike. My six month contract was hell. Then it took him 3 months to process my final $3,000 pay slip. I found out that he had filed a complaint against me in my last month in revenge for not having relations with him. He knew I was married and I constantly told him I was a straight man. When I found out about the complaint, I reported him to my agency. I also presented audio recordings I'd made of him soliciting me and threatening me if I didn't comply. He was the one who ended up in deep crap, not me. Record everything. ALWAYS. CYA.
Right? The cop had absolutely no business telling the owner about something that was 100% legal that they found on the guy during their unlawful search, in the hopes that it might have been against their policies. Again, for the 1000th time, they are law enforcement, not policy enforcement.
@@turbowarp Most likely there will be a settlement so the company doesn't get dragged in the mudd anymore than they have. The employee will start his own weed pen business or something.
Actually, that's the only smart thing they did. An apology can be construed as admitting liability and admitting the error. The guy has an easy wrongful termination suit against them, best to only speak with him through a lawyer from that point forward.
The arrest wasn't false, the report was. The police acted within their authority to arrest him for a felony and search him incident to arrest. However in court you can contend that the boss knew the man didn't steal the package and lied to the officers to get the arrest and the search. That would be grounds for a nice paying civil case as shown by being on this channel.
Falsely accused, arrested, vindicated an hour later and fired all in the same day. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I WOULD NOT SUE. Man please SUE TF outta them.
There's nothing to sue. This was not an arrest. He was never at any time on body cam footage read his rights. This was an investigatory detainment. Had he stolen that item it would have been a major felony because it is a weapon. He was not read his rights he was not booked he was not fingerprinted. everything that this man said in this video about that being an arrest is a blatant flat out lie. The distributor was 100% in the wrong. But at no time did the officers in this situation do anything wrong.
@@BlaqDynomite oh now they forgot that too. The officers had probable cause to DETAIN based on the accusations made by the company. That was all that happened here. Company was in the wrong not the cops. You can make up whatever you want or try to add to the story to fit your false narrative. But you're wrong.
It should be noted that THC vape pens are legal in Virginia, so there's no difference whether the pen was CBD and THC. That was really sleazy behavior to try and keep him in jail after they knew that he hadn't stolen the package.
I hope that James sues the GBRS manager who called the police (" Is there anyway we can slow roll this...I don't want to get the owners in a pickle"....too late you just earned your company a lawsuit), GBRS as a company for the manager's actions, the Virginia Beach Officers who were on the scene and especially that disgrace of an officer Reyes.
@@markeh1971even if he hadn't lost his job, btw he was also Treaspassed, which is why he wasn't allowed to get his stuff, if he didn't get fired, he probably would have quit.
Exactly, I left places like that it's called a "Tactical Error'' straight up & misconduct included. And employers nowadays days nobody will work for us?! This is a prime example why.. 😂❤
The problem with suing the employer is that you have to show some kind of actual damage. One could argue that he was not harmed, did not lose any of his earnings, and had a minimal loss of freedom. A judge would not allow this suit. the cops though, should not have arrested him until they had some evidence that he had committed the crime he is accursed of. The accusation of someone else that someone did something in itself is not sufficient basis for an arrest. They would have needed some evidence like video camera footage, or finding the actual alleged stolen item in his possession or in a space he has control over, such as his car. The cops should have never put him in the cruiser until they had some probably cause to believe he did commit theft.
We are a Veteran family. I will make sure our family doesn’t buy anything from them! You accuse that man of stealing, when you didn’t even have the nerve to ask him if he knows where the package is. I don’t want to hear their excuses. There’s no excuse for what they did.
@@johnchristopher3032 I saw in another post where they were talking about the co on Facebook, someone asked the name, and another replied, *GBRS.* HOPE that helps.
I completely agree, and the bodycam footage is proof of that. However, the company probably used him for dropping the package off at the wrong place as the justification for firing him. Unless he could prove they didn't tell him the one package was to go somewhere else, they are probably within their rights on that. Maybe there's cameras in there though that would be evidence, if they didn't destroy the footage. He still can and should sue the hell out of them for the wrongful arrest though.
@@SwapPartLLC. It’s the oldest HR trick in the book. Companies will fire employees over something trivial so they can use the defense that the ex-employees lawsuit is groundless and just for revenge.

@@201950201950well considering the employer wasn't sure if to press charges or how to proceed and let the officers take control of the situation, it makes sense that the officer would right such a report.
When you’re dealing with dishonest people they always have the tendency to believe everyone is lying to them. So no..asking him where the package went wouldn’t be sufficient for them because they would’ve just assumed he was lying to them.
They wanted to fire him quickly and not take months to falsify documents to fire him the slow way. They had a connection with the police and they took advantage of it.
@@TheTruthTheyHate So even then, let him tell the lie. And check it out. If he says where it is and its not there you can still say you knew he was lying. There's no point in not even letting him answer.

So the guy was innocent, he was illegally arrested, the employer found the package they falsely accused him of stealing, and the employer fired him? These people are terrible for how they treated this man.
Most employers would cover up the found item and not say anything. Why would the company admit wrong doing and accept that kind of liability? They truly are stupid.
Of course fired him: The employer imagined revenge against them or worried about taking it out on their business and anyway they did not want to see him any longer, perfect place to work !!!. YES color and race were involved. The black guy was lucky he did not resist the arrest like any innocent man would. God works in a mysterious way, hopefully this innocent man will find a better job and already has money coming his way which is blessing. Hope he did sue everybody too,
That company needs bad publicity. Also failed their staff at the highest level by simply not talking to their employee first. The man should definitely sue that company.
What the shipping company does is basically make the package dissappear till they figure out where it came from and who sent it, it usually goes to the investigators at the airport untill they figure out if it's actually going to an ffl or not, since they sent it back to them, they obviously didn't ship it correctly- they fact that they sent it back is suspect also, weapons don't usually get shipped back if found in error, they get held - we used to find loose guns and lowers all day and they would be pulled out of circulation and held for pickup by authorities
This whole thing was so sus, they called the cops before even asking him about the package and then fired him!!! I hope James sued the sht out of them and they were held accountable. 🤬
@@Luke-bj8mrmy state is right to work. My lawyer would get me $10k from this minimum. Several hours arrest? You can sue the employer for this since they caused a false arrest. Can also go after the PD
After looking at more documents and statements from different people about it all, it seems the employee did kind of F up. He dropped off firearm hardware at the wrong shipping store (FedEx instead of UPS), then denied he did anything at all. The company had to follow state protocol and report to police since it involved firearms, but fortunately the package was returned by a UPS employee who said the package was submitted incorrectly and not even in the system. The employee denied doing anything with the package - even shipping it, but camera footage shows him dropping it off without receipt. Sooo, yeah. May have been an honest mistake, but ultimately firearm equipment disappeared without proper documentation. He's honestly fortunate that things didn't escalate more. I do wish the employer did what they could do to avoid firing, since if it is how it seems to be, they were only following all the rules they were supposed to. Also, the fact lawyers have not taken the case tells me that there may be more to the story, that makes what happened within the bounds of being legal. Glad officers and the employee also treat each other with respect throughout.
They have the balls to quickly call the cops without doing any investigation themselves. But they don’t have the balls to apologize to this man. Guess it was easier to fire him.
The wolrd and especially the law, is not that black and white, no matter how much Americans are brought up to believe it is. The co-worker can believe it. They could even say so in a statement. And they CAN BE MISTAKEN. Until you show INTENT there is no basis for action. I'm sorry that your American-bred desire for vengence and faux anger isn't going to be served this time. Maybe next time on the next instance you try so desperately to reduce to binary factors, eh?
He needs to sue the police for false arrest, the manager from false accusations, and the company because they hired the manager and everything happened on their property.
The police did NOT need to ask him to pop his trunk in order to return his personal items to him. All they needed to do was to give him his stuff and let him decided where to store them. The police were hoping they'd find something in his trunk in hopes of affecting some kind of arrest. What a shame!
They tried to get him on his weed pen but it fell through, so they told his boss. Dick move. You can see all the fake laughing and trying to see how mad he was after they released him. Like an abusive relationship. "Everything's cool, right? You aren't mad?"
Exactly. Even after they knew he was innocent they were still trying anything they could to find a reason to make him a criminal, so they could save face.

@onthetongue That is a hell of a stretch. Had he fought physically then he would run that risk but 99% of officers know how to handle these situations without the need to draw a weapon/ Also they were all carrying Stun Guns so at most he would likely have been shocked. It is bad enough out here with everyone screaming racial motivations about every incident involving police and black people, we dont need you making it worse by implying things "could" have happened in an outcome that never happened.
@onthetongue I never said anything to that effect and never said it does not happen. You implied it absolutely would have happened but there is absolutely ZERO evidence to that effect. You are fearmongering and actively trying to use imagined racial issues to turn people against police, making you the kind of person a hopeful and peaceful society can do without.
Being booked doesn't just "go away" when they release you. It can stay on your record that you were "arrested", but the charges were dropped. A future employer will see the arrest and not care why the charges were dropped, his record needs to be expunged.
I was arrested and booked then released when I was 19 in a case of the wrong person just because I moved into the apartment he use to live at. That booking shows on my background check till this day 20+ years later. Wish I knew then what I know now I would of sued the crap out of them. This is not ok he needs to sue the employer for filing the false accusation as the reporter they took on liability and the police. If he can get the wrongful termination and prove discrimination go for it but I would concentrate on the constitutional violations.
@@c42rlk everyone who is falsely arrested should have nothing in their history...and if anything is listed in their history it should say "absolutely perfect the government screwed up and owes them a debt...they are so perfect their sperm is like diamonds to your daughter"
now you know the power of "Kareinsm" in Ameirca. These things happen by the hundreds daily all across the country. All it takes is a phone call from a specific demographic against another specific demographic...and the cops are gung-ho to just arrest people on the words and whims of "callers" as if thats all they need to trample.
They had a legal requirement to call the police and report it, their license depends on it. What they should not have done was accuse someone of theft without evidence of theft or evidence tying the person accused to an alleged theft. They needed to report the missing receiver, and provide all known details to the police ASAP, but they went beyond reporting facts and engaged in speculation which was highly inappropriate. For that, they should be held accountable, but they did need to call the cops. That part at least was not optional for them. Also keep in mind, they called the cops with a good-faith belief that the matter would be investigated. The cops didn't investigate jack shit, they got a name and just ran with it. The company is liable for their own mistakes (of which, they made many), but not for the mistakes made by the police who responded. Remember, they were hesitant to press charges in the beginning because the employees were unsure. You know the old saying: "Never attribute to malice, that which is adequately explained by incompetence". Thinking through it rationally, I think it was a stupid mistake on the company's part. Someone said "Anyone seen that receiver we're waiting for?" and someone else shouts back "I think James had it", and confirmation bias with the video turns speculation to fact in the minds of idiots. They were aware of their reporting obligations, but clearly not HOW to report things. This is a poorly trained and somewhat inept manager muddling through a regulatory requirement they didn't understand. But that is merely an explanation, NOT an excuse, of course. They skewed up pretty bad here. But it was ultimately the cops who failed. There's plenty of blame to go around on this one, it took everyone working together to fuck it up this bad, lol. But I do agree with your central thesis, lol... Yes, they should feel very ashamed. They wrongly accused an innocent man when in fact, they just can't manage their company's own logistics and track their inventory accurately. 711 can keep trac of every pack of chewing gum they've sold over the last 4 decades, but a company selling guns can't account for a big-ass box in their own office. That's a comforting thought, lol.
@@Arkryal No, they have a legal requirement to *first* make sure its stolen. Missing a tracking number is not unusual. (I have worked with packaging, it happens A LOT🙄) *2nd* report it missing - this does not involve accusing any specific person. Especially if you don't even have ANY reason to believe he was involved. The can call cops have have them do an investigation. Instead he said, "package is missing, this guy handled it last, I'm accusing him of stealing it. I want him investigated." Sue his pants off for discrimination and retaliation.
That policeman was determined that James was going to lose his job. No one should do business with this firm. They fired the employee that was trustworthy.
Being accused of something I didn't do is the worst feeling I've ever experienced, and I've had testicular cancer. I hope the gentleman finds peace from the trauma he endured.
I've been in the same situation with even having gone to court to prove my innocence. It's an awful feeling that you live with forever. And nothing changes it as your accusers just say aghh no big deal to them... as its not the first time they have acted this way. Your guilty until you prove innocence. Your lucky the item was discovered....
They said race wasn't a factor.... but was it? What other factors would lead them to the INSTANT decision that "he stole it, call the police" also.... how many cops were there to arrest him? WAY too many..... there was no elevated threat level, no aggressive behavior, yet the cops were posted up like they were there to take down a murder suspect who had already said that he wasn't going peacefully. 😔
That's what happens to certain groups of people on a daily basis in this country...... whether or not it's acted upon, certain people have already made the judgment in their mind, and are looking for ANY excuse to act on it.
Mind you, they still fired him as well. There is no way I'd speak with them either. I hope he sues them into oblivion, both the department and the company. I don't care how nice they all were.
@@q.t.gamingfamily Fired or quit, I wouldn’t work for these discriminatory knuckleheads anymore after this. I’d walk fast and far away. I too hope he sues and wins.

Not only did “Officer” Reyez arrest James and detain him for hours before releasing him, but returned to James’ employer and disclosed that James had a CBD vape pen on him. Maybe that was a suggestion to the employer as an alternative justification for terminating James unlawfully. I hope he retires on his settlement. Good luck, James.
as someone who is in to law , I can say there's some kind of conspiracy against the black guy , especially wy asking him to open the car trunk in order to get his staff back, to me the officer was hoping to find any thing to incriminate him what's desterbing they shok his hand saying how he was co-operative. 😊 this is 100000 milion dollars case.

The guy that said he saw him leave with the package and return without it needs to be charged. He outright lied. He made a false report.
And he never said who actually found the parcel, or where it was found, or offered any explanation???
Thats actually not a lie. It was his job to take the packages to be delivered. The only issue is how did that package turn up 10 minutes later. He posted these videos on his tic tok page.
@christytea1798 Did he leave with the package or a package? Also, did the mailman drop it off? We got questions.
@@cameronlewis7029he dropped it off to either fed ex or ups. I can’t remember. It was an issue with the shipping label so I assumed he dropped it off to the wrong place.
He actually just saw him doing his job.
Instead of apologizing to him, the employer fired him.
It takes a special kind of scumbag to do that.
not so special
The company gets sued, the manager gets sued, the cop gets sued everybody gets sued
Don’t worry, that employee has a good lawsuit. They never talked to him or asked him any questions, they just pointed their finger and had the police arrest him. The police also dropped the ball by not questioning him. They just arrested him. It also doesn’t help that the man they arrested and accused is black.
I and Surely. Quite. A. Few. Others have been through this as well.....
Scumbag business. He should have first apologized and given him the rest of the week off. Sponsoring a dinner for him and his family! The Golden rule is real oppessors!
The officer mentioning the "THC" pen to his employer, after a false arrest, was really turning the knife in the wound. That's a bastard if I ever saw one
This is when, out of desperation when the first call fell through, they needed to find something to hold him for.
Exactly @@SirenaSpades...the cops had no idea if it was a THC OR CBD pen ...scumbag Virginia Beach police at their finest hour right there 👌
It is also literally defamatory, this cop will likely be sued over that. It was and is tortious interference with business dealings. In other words the cop (unintentionally or intentionally) fucked up his income or could have fucked up his income by repeating false and defamatory allegations to his boss, with no legitimate reason to do so.
Standing beside another bastard, who was standing beside another bastard who was standing beside another bastard...
All cops are bastards.
Yeah, sickening.
Instead of admitting they were completely wrong they were looking for something else to charge him with. Disgusting

i have no reason to believe it was intentional. careless and stupid mistake, but i doubt it was intentional. otherwise they would have just "lost" instead of calling the cops to say "oh hey wait dont arrest taht guy we found the missing item"
the story is the cops just up and arresting someone on felony charges with zero proof other than the owners word...
They didn't even talk to the guy. He thought it was a joke. They just called the cops and said he did something. He should have some civil claim for what they did to him.
@@__shifty He said he saw him leave with the package when he didn't, so he couldn't have seen him leave with the package. The only other possibility is if he left with another package which it doesn't sound like that's the case. So it sounds like it was a straight up lie.
@@__shifty- It was intentional, in that the police were intentionally called, James was intentionally implicated, and the officer's boy intentionally told the police that there is video of James leaving the facility with the missing item in a box and returning to the facility without the box. That's not the same thing as intentionally falsely accusing James. But at best, they were grossly negligent and reckless and they intentionally implicated James and intentionally claimed to have video evidence of him stealing the item, when he was innocent and the item wasn't even stolen. So, James was wrongfully accused, wrongfully implicated to the police, wrongfully arrested by the police, and apparently wrongfully terminated - all due to lack of due diligence by the company and the police.
Again, that's at best. There may have been something malicious going on.
Or for just ruining his life, specifically.

If you entered "Fired" or "Discharged" as the reason for your separation, or if either reason was reported by your employer as the reason for your separation, you must have a fact finding interview with a deputy to determine if you are qualified for benefits. You will receive notice of the date and time the deputy will contact you. If you were discharged or fired, the burden is on the employer to show that you were released because of misconduct in connection with work.
So was he fired for doing nothing?

I like the way you think!! 👍👍👍
@@rhettbaldwin8320possibly but does that need to entail all of this and this swiftly? I mean they stated near the beginning that the alleged criminal hadn’t even been approached or talked to yet. That’s common sense IMO to handle that right away.. especially given the nature of what’s “alleged”. Plus the fact that all of this could’ve easily been fabricated by the employer(s) or other employees who just wanted to see this happen to this poor guy. And that’s where the biggest issue lies and what opens them to civil litigation.. again IMO.
Funny thing is, that company GBRS is founded by ex Navy seals. DJ and Cole are very famous. I heard they they only hire gold star veterans or family members of, so to think they did this to one of their own gives me really bad feelings about this..
Arrested with zero investigation, this guy should sue the city, the cops, the mayor, the company. It should never be this easy to get someone else arrested.
It isn't supposed to be, but the coward cops are never held responsible for the felonies that they commit.
With the right accusations you can wreck someone's life. Accuse a parent or teacher of child sex abuse and watch the fireworks. Sadly it is that easy. My sister lost custody of her toddler for nearly a year solely on a baseless accusation, accuser was ex boyfriends parents who so happened to take custody during the investigations while my sister had to pay for supervised visitation and around 10k in legal fees getting it sorted out.
Makes me wonder if this was intended. He could even go back to his office. And they had all his stuff packed up AFTER they found the missing parcel They don’t want him there.
They investigated. In this country a black man accused of a crime by a white person is automatically guilty.
@@RESA411911 That sounds plausible
The employer also needs to be sued into bankruptcy.
the accused should get at least 2 years of his previous salary - bare minimum from the employer and also some damages for being falsely arrested for a favor / friendship....

but he did loose the package, he dropped it off at fedx instead of ups. this video took place about 2 weeks after it was shipped.
this part was not clear in the video and it totaly changes everything.
so he was fired for theft or incompetency, that is also not clear.

They figured he would make a scene, put up a fight and get arrested for resisting or something else. Calling the cops on innocent black men is still a thing. Instead, James kept his cool, complied and even smiled at the officers as they let him go. He reserved his anger for the lawsuit he has coming. He's a smart man and I hope he gets paid big.

@@7jbartley He didn't. He just wanted to put more fuel to the fire that they started and hoping the wind would blow the heat away from them and onto the employee.

It’s not really “a warrant less search” when it was done willingly
I don’t know what THC and CBD mean.
how infuriating. the POS officer said "i tried to charge him with the vape pen but it wasn't granted" F these cops and the corrupt GBRS clowns
Weed (and marijuana products) are legal in Virginia. However, everybody knows if you get caught with it at work you're going to get fired. The cop mentioned it to his buddy so he can claim it wasn't wrongful termination and get out of paying unemployment benefits.

Been there, done that. As a federal contractor, I had a boss once who came to the USA from Bosnia. He was 10 years younger than me. He had been in the war in Bosnia and was brought in the US Army at his old rank. When he ETS'd, he did the same as me and became a federal contractor. Don't ask me how but he had more rank than me (I had 15 more total years of fed service than him), and I reported to him.
He was a pervert. He was always trying to get me to do stuff with him and I always told him to take a hike.
My six month contract was hell. Then it took him 3 months to process my final $3,000 pay slip.
I found out that he had filed a complaint against me in my last month in revenge for not having relations with him. He knew I was married and I constantly told him I was a straight man.
When I found out about the complaint, I reported him to my agency. I also presented audio recordings I'd made of him soliciting me and threatening me if I didn't comply.
He was the one who ended up in deep crap, not me.
Record everything. ALWAYS. CYA.
Right? The cop had absolutely no business telling the owner about something that was 100% legal that they found on the guy during their unlawful search, in the hopes that it might have been against their policies. Again, for the 1000th time, they are law enforcement, not policy enforcement.

The arrest wasn't false, the report was. The police acted within their authority to arrest him for a felony and search him incident to arrest. However in court you can contend that the boss knew the man didn't steal the package and lied to the officers to get the arrest and the search.

The problem with suing the employer is that you have to show some kind of actual damage. One could argue that he was not harmed, did not lose any of his earnings, and had a minimal loss of freedom. A judge would not allow this suit. the cops though, should not have arrested him until they had some evidence that he had committed the crime he is accursed of. The accusation of someone else that someone did something in itself is not sufficient basis for an arrest. They would have needed some evidence like video camera footage, or finding the actual alleged stolen item in his possession or in a space he has control over, such as his car. The cops should have never put him in the cruiser until they had some probably cause to believe he did commit theft.
@eaturmeatornopuddin This is sad ,to do that to ANYONE ,, And the guy was INNOCENT.
We are a Veteran family. I will make sure our family doesn’t buy anything from them! You accuse that man of stealing, when you didn’t even have the nerve to ask him if he knows where the package is. I don’t want to hear their excuses. There’s no excuse for what they did.

I completely agree, and the bodycam footage is proof of that. However, the company probably used him for dropping the package off at the wrong place as the justification for firing him. Unless he could prove they didn't tell him the one package was to go somewhere else, they are probably within their rights on that. Maybe there's cameras in there though that would be evidence, if they didn't destroy the footage. He still can and should sue the hell out of them for the wrongful arrest though.

When you’re dealing with dishonest people they always have the tendency to believe everyone is lying to them. So no..asking him where the package went wouldn’t be sufficient for them because they would’ve just assumed he was lying to them.

So the guy was innocent, he was illegally arrested, the employer found the package they falsely accused him of stealing, and the employer fired him? These people are terrible for how they treated this man.
He wasn’t arrest you pleb he was detained
Most employers would cover up the found item and not say anything. Why would the company admit wrong doing and accept that kind of liability? They truly are stupid.

God works in a mysterious way, hopefully this innocent man will find a better job and already has money coming his way which is blessing. Hope he did sue everybody too,

Exactly what I said!!!
You can't fire the owner 😂
If they cannot keep track of weapons they should not be selling them
What the shipping company does is basically make the package dissappear till they figure out where it came from and who sent it, it usually goes to the investigators at the airport untill they figure out if it's actually going to an ffl or not, since they sent it back to them, they obviously didn't ship it correctly- they fact that they sent it back is suspect also, weapons don't usually get shipped back if found in error, they get held - we used to find loose guns and lowers all day and they would be pulled out of circulation and held for pickup by authorities
The package was being shipped, dummy. The guy brought the package to the wrong shipping company, which is why nobody knew until it was returned.
Despite that face there should be a strict tracking system to avoid loss or illegal process that could take place.
This whole thing was so sus, they called the cops before even asking him about the package and then fired him!!! I hope James sued the sht out of them and they were held accountable. 🤬

I hope he sued the company and the police officer.
After looking at more documents and statements from different people about it all, it seems the employee did kind of F up. He dropped off firearm hardware at the wrong shipping store (FedEx instead of UPS), then denied he did anything at all. The company had to follow state protocol and report to police since it involved firearms, but fortunately the package was returned by a UPS employee who said the package was submitted incorrectly and not even in the system. The employee denied doing anything with the package - even shipping it, but camera footage shows him dropping it off without receipt.
Sooo, yeah. May have been an honest mistake, but ultimately firearm equipment disappeared without proper documentation. He's honestly fortunate that things didn't escalate more. I do wish the employer did what they could do to avoid firing, since if it is how it seems to be, they were only following all the rules they were supposed to.
Also, the fact lawyers have not taken the case tells me that there may be more to the story, that makes what happened within the bounds of being legal. Glad officers and the employee also treat each other with respect throughout.
They have the balls to quickly call the cops without doing any investigation themselves. But they don’t have the balls to apologize to this man. Guess it was easier to fire him.

That bootlicking employee who called the cops should be ashamed of himself.
now you know the power of "Kareinsm" in Ameirca. These things happen by the hundreds daily all across the country. All it takes is a phone call from a specific demographic against another specific demographic...and the cops are gung-ho to just arrest people on the words and whims of "callers" as if thats all they need to trample.
They had a legal requirement to call the police and report it, their license depends on it.
What they should not have done was accuse someone of theft without evidence of theft or evidence tying the person accused to an alleged theft. They needed to report the missing receiver, and provide all known details to the police ASAP, but they went beyond reporting facts and engaged in speculation which was highly inappropriate. For that, they should be held accountable, but they did need to call the cops. That part at least was not optional for them.
Also keep in mind, they called the cops with a good-faith belief that the matter would be investigated.
The cops didn't investigate jack shit, they got a name and just ran with it. The company is liable for their own mistakes (of which, they made many), but not for the mistakes made by the police who responded.
Remember, they were hesitant to press charges in the beginning because the employees were unsure. You know the old saying: "Never attribute to malice, that which is adequately explained by incompetence". Thinking through it rationally, I think it was a stupid mistake on the company's part. Someone said "Anyone seen that receiver we're waiting for?" and someone else shouts back "I think James had it", and confirmation bias with the video turns speculation to fact in the minds of idiots. They were aware of their reporting obligations, but clearly not HOW to report things. This is a poorly trained and somewhat inept manager muddling through a regulatory requirement they didn't understand. But that is merely an explanation, NOT an excuse, of course. They skewed up pretty bad here. But it was ultimately the cops who failed.
There's plenty of blame to go around on this one, it took everyone working together to fuck it up this bad, lol.
But I do agree with your central thesis, lol... Yes, they should feel very ashamed. They wrongly accused an innocent man when in fact, they just can't manage their company's own logistics and track their inventory accurately. 711 can keep trac of every pack of chewing gum they've sold over the last 4 decades, but a company selling guns can't account for a big-ass box in their own office. That's a comforting thought, lol.
@@Arkryal No, they have a legal requirement to *first* make sure its stolen. Missing a tracking number is not unusual. (I have worked with packaging, it happens A LOT🙄)

I'm encouraging a 1 star campaign on their Google page. Only 16 reviews for now. And mix in some negative 4 stars as well pls.
He should have been the one who got Fired. NOT the innocent employee discriminated against for Working While Black..
That policeman was determined that James was going to lose his job. No one should do business with this firm. They fired the employee that was trustworthy.
EXACTLY!! This company sucks.
what company do we not buy our firearms from?
Seriously, I don't want to make the mistake of giving that shithead money. If you find the name, let us know.
@@byb8568I'd like to know.
We don’t know the whole story, but from this perspective they are shady as hell.
Being accused of something I didn't do is the worst feeling I've ever experienced, and I've had testicular cancer. I hope the gentleman finds peace from the trauma he endured.
I pray for the best for you sir. 🙏
@@anthonypforr6463 That's so kind, thank you. I pray for the best for you as well.
that is something you never really get over. even if you are vindicated and receive an apology, that trauma of being falsely accused never leaves you.
@@redrocker1055 you've obviously been through alot bro. It takes alot of courage to still be fighting after somthing like that. I respect that.
I've been in the same situation with even having gone to court to prove my innocence.
It's an awful feeling that you live with forever. And nothing changes it as your accusers just say aghh no big deal to them... as its not the first time they have acted this way.
Your guilty until you prove innocence. Your lucky the item was discovered....
He automatically accused him of stealing without asking questions. How disgusting.
They said race wasn't a factor.... but was it? What other factors would lead them to the INSTANT decision that "he stole it, call the police" also.... how many cops were there to arrest him? WAY too many..... there was no elevated threat level, no aggressive behavior, yet the cops were posted up like they were there to take down a murder suspect who had already said that he wasn't going peacefully. 😔
That's what happens to certain groups of people on a daily basis in this country...... whether or not it's acted upon, certain people have already made the judgment in their mind, and are looking for ANY excuse to act on it.
Yup sue them
Mind you, they still fired him as well. There is no way I'd speak with them either. I hope he sues them into oblivion, both the department and the company. I don't care how nice they all were.
@@q.t.gamingfamily Fired or quit, I wouldn’t work for these discriminatory knuckleheads anymore after this. I’d walk fast and far away. I too hope he sues and wins.
Unlawful detainment. False Arrest.
Defamation of character. I hope he sues the 💩 out of them.
I hope he sues them and puts them out of business.
The cops only did their job. His boss is the problem. He can't sue the police for doing their jobs. If they broke department protocol to help his buddy, then yes he can sue both.
@@DrReginaldFinleySr How do you see that the cops did their job? They are suppose to investigate ask questions and not just take one side, every one of them failed at their job.
@@kethmarhkfy7luf.263 that wasn’t a few minutes pal for 1 and for 2 at the point of being led into the police station put in shackles and in an interrogation room…that’s an arrest buddy
This is defamation of character. I wonder if he gets 5 million.
I wouldn’t want to work for that company! WTF!
I would sue the hell out of the company.
Absolutely. The bodycam footage is perfect evidence. Even the way the officer talked to him…”Hey Yo!”
Company would be mine. And the PD would pay too.
And the officers too
Hell yeah.
Or you could just read 'UPDATE 2' above.
Not only did “Officer” Reyez arrest James and detain him for hours before releasing him, but returned to James’ employer and disclosed that James had a CBD vape pen on him. Maybe that was a suggestion to the employer as an alternative justification for terminating James unlawfully. I hope he retires on his settlement. Good luck, James.
That was a real shitty thing to do to James.
Right? That was not necessary at all. That'd be like saying "he had his keys on him" not illegal lmao
I caught that too. Why do You need make his day worst. SMH I would need an incident report as soon as they attempt to put those cuffs on me...💯
He was the shipping manager and lost a high value package. 😅 yea he's getting fired
@@SamSam-ih6nt but losing a package isn't a crime. And the fact that the police were trying to railroad him on top of that is real sleezy.
As an American Veteran, I am embarrassed by the actions of the men at GBRS and the Virginia police.
Funny how they run straight to daddy government instead of just asking the employee. Weaaak.
as someone who is in to law , I can say there's some kind of conspiracy against the black guy , especially wy asking him to open the car trunk in order to get his staff back, to me the officer was hoping to find any thing to incriminate him
what's desterbing they shok his hand saying how he was co-operative. 😊
this is 100000 milion dollars case.
Same dealt with some stuff in the marine corps in 2013. It took a bit to learn. We aren't all held accountible the same. I hated that saying "perception is reality."
Sad. All they had to do was do their jobs properly from the start .... investigate!
I'm also a U.S. Veteran and this is Veteran and this is unexceptable
