- A family says they were the targets of racial profiling by a West County police department while in the parking lot of the Academy Sports on Manchester Road Monday.
LaTiffiany Carter started recording cell phone video when a Manchester police officer blocked their car in with his patrol cruiser.
Just because they have badges, doesn't mean they aren't criminals.
When taken in totality, the badge is an absolute symbol of their membership in the most dangerous criminal gang on the streets. I have less to fear from the meanest, most vicious, violent gang-banger member of the public than I ever will from a LEO. The banger won't lie to me and insist he's trying to "help" me. Translate the word "help" to "fuck" and it will be accurate, for example, "I'm just trying to help you," is actually, "I'm just trying to fuck you."
@@Ken4Pyro Absolutely, I've been in a bar when the Hells Angels walk in, as long as you behave yourself you have nothing to worry about. Unlike most criminal organizations, the police are really the only gang that goes looking for trouble.
@ Thomas K- AGREE 💯. THEY CAN BE THE MOST DANGEROUS CRIMINALS BEHIND THAT BADGE!!👺🐷
@TxVe slowly lol
Politics and crime are one in the same fuck these people start knocking these parasites off. The bi le says get the danger out of the land.
He needs to get fired before his racism costs someone their lives
S.M.I.B
@@matthewhall9189 explain☝🏽
Brilliant response
Somebody from the store was not on the scene, so they were not suspected of shoplifting. The cop should mind his own business.
Definitely
Hope they sued. Without a call from the store, it was none of this cop's business legally.
Wow, I really feel for these people. I can only imagine how embarrassing that would be for a family. That cop needs a new vocation. You guys seem cool.....stay strong!
“Under investigation “ means we’re not going to do anything we’re jus waiting for the public too forget about this matter
Actually, there going to do something.
There going to put money and efforts into justifying the unjustifiable.
Right on!!!
Always
You are absolutely right. Investigations never mound up to nothing
Well said
Guarantee they will come out and say we investigated ourselves and we found we did nothing wrong
And we are going thru bias training. Completely unrelated to us targeting minorities.
Or they will commit to giving the officer refresher Sensitivity Classes at 4 hour after shift for 2 weeks at quadruple overtime pay. This training will be an all you can eat and haul away coffee and donut smorgasbord, which the officer will mostly be asleep. The officer also qualifies for 2 weeks off with pay.
Next time Im in trouble Ill let the DA know that Ill investigate myself just in case I did something wrong and Ill present all the evidence in a timely manner to the DA!
Seriously, the fact that police can investigate themselves is a sign the system is broken...and they are allowed to be criminals with impunity...the true mafia
@@hardyharr9377 exactly man and even the internal affairs don't wanna get the other cops in trouble even though it is literally their jobs to there is only a hand full of cops that have the balls to pull up the other twats on their shit but then they end up getting fired or bullied by other cops did you here about the woman cop who arrested another cop in his police car on duty driving down the highway doing over 100mph she had police terrorising her using police computers to search her address and get her phone number and constantly harass her and another woman who stopped a cop from choking out someone she ended up getting fired for pulling him off someone he'd kicked the shit out off and was trying to choke him out absolutely corrupt scum off the earth at least the maffia actually stuck by their rules and hardly ever hurt anyone who wasn't involved in that type of life
That what happen when u got cops helping cops on the investigation sue the hell out them
That cop has an ego problem. He is exactly the wrong type to have a badge and especially a gun.
A brilliant judge once told a convicted officer, " public respect is not demanded because of a uniform we wear, it is earned!" I will never forget this....
perfect example of cops earning the hate.
@KASHMAER You obviously didn’t watch the video. Academy had nothing to do with this.
You know, I wanted to say unbelievable, but I believe it. If 1/2 the cops did their jobs, the other 1/2 would be in jail.
Truth!!
Exactly... I get nervous every time a cop gets behind me when I'm driving. That's not how I should be feeling, just knowing it's a lot of cops looking for any opportunity to make our life miserable, and it's sad.
A man..
Yeah. One lies and the other swears to it (Backs Them Up) . Keep the crooked cops out of your establishment
Thats the MOTHAFUCKIN TRUTH!!!
You have got to be kidding me, this cop sets and watches people leaving a store from across the street, and then detains people that look like they might have shop lifted , this is a department problem, someone authorized it
I hope this family gets the justice they deserve. This is ridiculous. These cops are getting out of control.
Damn that cop is good. Can suspect someone of stealing without being inside the store
He wanted to search because they think all black people have drugs they would probably find more kn there own neighborhood if the Truth was told
I know right.....wtf..
@KASHMAER I hope you sued. If not you're a disgrace
@KASHMAER shop at black owned businesses, stop giving your money to people who hate you
it seems like they had the wrong skin color, somebody had to be guilty. What bullshit, fire those police.
Good ol' "shopping while black". The cop should be charged with illegal detainment, stalking and harassment.
I'm confused tho...WHEN did race come up???. Y'all are just ASSUMING it's a race thing.
@@stephanim2436 a Boston judge wondered aloud why so many Black people were always in his courtroom.
So...he commissioned Harvard University to do a study. Guess what he found...?
Racism, particularly, white cop racism. Of course, we Black folk could have told him that and saved him some money, but....
Look it up.
Exactly and the bad part about it all, the store never called and it's no record stating that this teenage boy shoplifted inside of that store. The officer was across the street and saw a black family together and he couldn't stand to see it. He was trying to have this family arrested or killed over a made up lie. He got caught and called out on this for his malicious conduct on national TV. Do your job and go after the real criminals and leave innocent people alone who just out enjoying life.
How do you know someone stole items from outside the store?!
I would of taken everything back and asked for a refund!
Officer: you are suspected of stealing.
Every black person: Here is the receipt.
Officer on walkie: I'm gonna need back up.
To Y Ch
😆👏🤣👏😂 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 😉👌
hey it could be a fake receipt you never know
@@deadcraftdawn0094
To DeadCcraft...
🤪 STUPID🙄
@@deadcraftdawn0094 Fake reciept? Man you u slow🤣
@@deadcraftdawn0094 Anything to justify the cops abuse of black and other minorities right???
If an employee at McDonalds can be held ACCOUNTABLE, why can’t the DAMN COPS ?????
Cops have immunity.
Have you considered becoming a cop and make a difference?
The McDonald's employees are intelligent enough to understand the term "accountability "
Absolutely disgusting...So sorry this happened to you and your family 🙏 "Under investigation" Cop will be cleared of any "wrong doing" then the Cheif will say "We will re-train our officers " Such a load of. 💩💩
The mother was articulate and the family was polite in expressing their fear and outrage at being profiled. The son showed that he hadn't stolen anything and they had receipts...YET even though the store hadn't notified the officer of any suspicion towards this family, the officer still harassed and humiliated this lovely family. No wonder black people are angry and suing for discrimination. I don't blame them one bit. This is outrageous!!!
What if the mother wasn't articulate and the family wasn't polite? Does that still justify this situation?
There’s so much wrong with your comments regarding how polite and articulate they were and you don’t even see it.
Articulate ghetto whatever white ppl are calling it these days, it doesn't matter to a racist bigot or a person who just have bias views against Black ppl. FBA B1
So the store did not call the police it was the Officer without being in the store suspected they were shoplifting wow I bet all the crimes in that area is all resolved thanks to that Mastermind Police Officer 🤐🙄
Right it's not even a crime worth a cop's time but it's not dangerous so that's why he did it. Another cop scared to go fight real crime.
@@wavydavy3737 Dude I'm an ex Cop and that was Racial Profiling at it's Finest they gotta file a Complaint and Civil Lawsuit
Bro that's Manchester MO. Suburb outside of St Louis... Trust me MO has a huge racial problem...
@@Thundergod-xo5se i am military police and it was profiling, i agree with you. Bad training and he was racist.
So the cop is claiming that he has mystical phycoc powers and can read people minds and tell that they are shop lifring. Especially if they are wearing Fany packss!!!!
White guy in the back walked out with stolen items while this was happening
YESSSSSSSD, ALL THE TIME. I SEEN IT AT STORES. THEY ARE THE FIRST STEALERS
OF COURSE
It happens all the time...
@@bigvalley4987 TRUTH. NEVER TRUST YOUR ENEMIES/OPPRESSERS
All the time
I’ll bet the store called and he also just sits there daily to “catch” somebody stealing.
Glad to know you are still alive my family.
"We have investigated ourselves and found that we did nothing wrong."
store DID NOT claim stolen product but police DO, now that HAS TO be profiling
It could've easily been a white family with teen hiding his fanny pack. Those stories aren't told.
Sue The Police Dept.
Under investigation means they look into the incident themselves. Keep each other accountable is another way of saying the same thing.
If that dude is not fired there is no justice.
Let me assure you. There’s no justice.
I would tell you right now they will do absolutely nothing
@@davidrincon556 that's just how fucked their system is
You mean hung
For what seeing a bulge and thinking someone was stealing you sound dumb
Sue! Hit them in the pocket. Do it every time these things happen. Get rich off their hate!
The problem is they don't have to pay we do
Well maybe they should stop ; being racist then Oh well
@Dani Burton - EXACTLY!! THAT'LL STOP TYRANTS CRUEL ACTS🐷👺
@ChiliContestWinner Officers can loose qualified immunity if police decide that he acted out of jurisdiction, their policy and at his/her's own action. That's what police is sometimes doing to get lower setalment. Department takes lower setalment and then takes away qualified immunity from officer so that we can sue them for more money. That's one way how good police chiefs get rid of really bad cops.
SUEING THE CITY ONLY RAISES OUR TAXES!
SUE THE STORE!
I'm confident there will a full and thorough internal investigation....I'm just as confident these officers will be found to have acted in accordance with all departmental policies.
There was a lawsuit won by a family that went through this kind of false circumstances in the hands of Police and that family won their $102,970 dollar lawsuit against that police department in 2011. I hope this family gets justice with their lawsuit.
That kid looks exhausted and he is so young, he got a lifetime of this ahead.
Yeah I think it's police goal to do this to young black men. I can't of on black man/young in my life that hasn't been approached by police. Driving/walking/listening to music/studying/exercising while black. it's truly ridiculous
😔
@@cocopuff6810 I'm not even black and the same shit happened to me. I live in NC and police here are dangerous. The moment I turned 16 I suddenly wasn't a child anymore. I worried and still worry so much for my black friends. If I was harassed like I was the shit they must've gone through had to have been even more traumatic. It's sickening. Minorities don't get to be "kids who make a mistake" because at the ages of 15 to 16 we are men and thus threats.
@@lorinshadow I was just about to say you look Hispanic maybe? I would bet they mess with you to I definitely don’t doubt it. Agree to the fullest we minority kids could never be kids
He's already dealt with a lifetime of it
That officer should be fired immediately! He obviously cannot understand that he is not on the Academy payroll as a security guard, he is on the public payroll as a police officer.
Unfortunate BARNEY FIFE there is probably related to UNCLE ENUS you know the police chief.
@@elamantesecretorazo DUMB AND DUMBER
Fire ! Throw them to jail.
Should we all send the chief of police crayons??? Just so he has enough to explain to every officer
Prayers for that family, That cop had no right!
🙏🏾 right
What a great family, your awesome, i love how polite and understanding you were because you didnt need to be in my opinion.
Wow. Legal action for sure. Just the blocking of their car made my stomach drop. That was so aggressive of that idiot cop. That cop is a potential "officer involved shooting of an unarmed Black man"
waiting to happen.
He had nothing better to do with his time smh but he out there watching black pplz
I won’t be shopping there anymore! That’s for damn sure.
I certainly hope that they file a law suit on the cop
Sounds like this store needs to have employees who walk customers to their cars to keep them safe from harrassment by cops.
😂😂😂
lol
You know that is not a bad idea! In fact, it is a good idea!!! People are sick of uneducated and racist cops. I hope they sue the pants off him.
Even more shocking is that the store didn't call.... crazy!
As a Latino this makes me sick this has to be clean up within the department they should sue
Good luck to the family this is a shame
LMAO 😂 I used to work next to Academy Sports at Pan-Asia. There are ALWAYS cops sitting in Academy's parking lot, everyday, morning afternoon evening. You'd think Academy was selling donuts.
@Joshua Patton The cops are there early in the morning, hours before the store opens, and they are there at night, hours after the store closes. The cops pull up next to each other in opposite directions, talking, at the far end of the parking lot. They pull up at all hours of the day, and just stay in their vehicles, talking or doing paperwork. It's a convenient location across from the police station, minimal traffic, easy to access Manchester Rd and MO-141.
How do you as a police officer come to the conclusion that someone was shoplifting if you did not witness it firsthand?
This is how we get killed because someone is THINKING you are doing wrong and will make an effort to make it so.
Police chief says" he is appalled at officers actions "" bs bs they know what their officers are doing.
I guess if you’re African-American you better not go to Academy sports for anything that might accuse you Of stealing also the police officer in this video needs to be fired disgusting behavior
Academy never called the cops on them.
That’s the worse part is that he assumed, meaning he was looking for any bs reason to question them. no one called the cops
store DID NOT ACCUSE HIM, THE COP DID.
If you’re Black born in the Divided States? You aren’t African you’re American.
YES, STOP GOING TO THAT STORE. IT'S NOTHING SPECIAL, GO ONLINE AND SHOP OTHER PLACES.
Sure doesn't look like it meets the threshold of "Reasonable Suspicion".
Why were they aproached no motive at all
Don't you know that's their MO??? How many times does this have to happen before qualified immunity is recended???
OH ABSOLUTELY PERSUE LEGAL ACTION.. SUE IF THE STORE CALLED THE POLICE SUE THEM ALSO..
Thank god it's under investigation now.
We have investigated ourselves....we find no wrong doing
Ha ha ha ha ha
To accuse someone of shop lifting without definitive proof, is slander and a sue able offense.
He could have just recorded their license plate and went inside to look at the store cameras. Which would have revealed a waste of time. Never even had to make contact even if he had actual authentic suspicions. But that would have been too much like actual authentic police work. He had a donut calling his name back in the patrol car. He had to hurry.
Samantha and Ashli are GORGEOUS!!!
The rest of this nonsense is just another day in amerikkka.
In order to be stop and detained for shop lifting ( you MUST👀 watch ,observe them in the act) not suspect them.
Cops had no reasonable suspicion to stop the family.
They're not cops, they're SS soldiers of the American Gestapo.
“Under investigation” mean we don’t care and so we don’t have to talk about it
Shopping , walking, driving, while black I'm so sick and tired of hearing that it happens to all races
I would have taken EVERY LAST piece of that $300 merchandise back.
the store didnt even call him ! So how did he suspect that the kid stole something? Not skin skin color right?
Too much tint.
He just wanted to hassle black ppl. Simple.
This is what happens when you hire friends and family with no high school education🤪
accused of shoplifting by someone in a car across the street...wow
And your being so respectful by yelling and putting hand in his face!
So who do we call when the police are the one's threatening my life? 🤔
I'm watching the floyd trial. Many people called the police on the police. While on stand they asked witnesses "why didn't you just talk to the cops that where there"?
You mean the 3 cops killing him or the other cop stopping anyone from helping.
Obviously the cops there are useless 🙄😒
@@ambercolbert the police force has been comprised long ago, they cant be trusted. It needa to be gutted and start hiring people from the community who's main concern is to help and protect people.
@@JohnjOcampo omg. I saw this video last night about a town who has other people respond to certain situations. No guns, no tasers, no weapons of any kind. Just people sent to de escalate the situation. It seems to have worked amazingly. Cops aren't out killing people for having a bag of candy.
Keith sweat voice: Noooooboddy
You lmao, get outta here thinking the cops are gonna come and kill you. Once you have a robber you’ll be dialing 911 immediately
Always a good idea to record everything.
Looks like it's best investing in our own body cams or even spy cam's.
I'd have marched straight back into that store and returned every single item as loudly as I could making the biggest scene i could. Let the store realise they lost $300 in sales due to improper policing on their property.
IF A CRIMINAL, HOLD CRIMINAL ACCOUNTABLE...
IF A TYRANT, HOLD TYRANT ACCOUNTABLE!!!
Quite Simple.
Nothing will happen to the cop
This is why people want police reform!!!
Just file an official complaint against the officer and the police department, and then take them to court.
If this store didn't call them... They have no business accusing anyone of shoplifting.
Whenever they say Under Investigation, that translates to NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN....EVER.
I can see the hurt & anger in that young mans face . I pray his parents take a break from telling the story & begin to uplift, encourage & heal the psyche of that young man. Let him know that the rascism of a small man with a badge does not remove his crown.
Well said!!!!!
AMEN!! I try to be empathetic and put myself in their shoes. It would be so hurtful to be treated in this manner. I just pray that this young man understands that not all people have the mindset of this officer. In fact, most don't. The officer owes this lovely family an apology. It would go a long way towards healing this family's hurt.
Nah, the family will be fine. They were calm, were smart enough to record. This just paid off their whole mortgage
@@zavankan4796 Does money repair a damaged psyche? Or is it the silent racism of black young men don't have psyche's? Tread carefully
@@zavankan4796 I hope so.
Saying they had to fear for their lives is a stretch.
The officer needs to personally apologize in front of everyone
Not surprised. I bought a car out there and got pulled over as soon as I left the lot 😔
Why? What the hell does buying a car have to do with the cops?
There's no reason they should have been like that
It feels really suspicious that a police officer acted on his own. It sounds like this officer is a zealot.
Wow . Lawsuit!! Lawyer up!. Accused of shop lifting... How embarrassing
WOW! Just WOW!
How dare these people go shopping while black.
I agree Eddie.
Sounds like a trend with Academy Sports AND
other stores. Certain Businesses want our money but NOT our pigment.
It was very traumatizing we need 28 million for repercussion in order to forget this ever happened lmfaooooo😂🤣
Hold that officer accountable police chief and mayor
These citizens will never get the stench of pig off of them.
Sue Sue Sue Sue Sue always Sue
PAY US BIG TIME AND WE WILL BE HAPPY
THIS IS SO VERY,VERY SAD, WILL THIS EVER STOP.
We investigated our selves and found we did nothing wrong
Tell the officer let's go back in with everything I bought and see if the manager wanna take things further.
Boycott that place
Update?
I blame the departments. If police departments actually tried to hire a diverse group of men and women this wouldn't be a problem.
Sound like it time to boycott Academy sports!!
This officer needs to be held accountable for this
Sue the police for for racial profiling you
I am so sorry you and your son went through.
Lived there my whole life it's actually worse than this ...... that's why I left MO
Don't just consider legal action do it!
Please let them racially profile me.,.,.I need the money.
