The bank made a rather big deal about the fact that he didn't return their phone calls to accept their apology. I wouldn't either; ...
Subjectively; Good folks would, and even understand that it happened because the check could not be verified.
Most black males have been harassed for incidents that never would have happened if they'd been, well, white. On the surface, this looks like one of them; not enough detail to determine one way or another.
Jfc!
No. That is not what it looks like. It looks exactly as reported. The check did not match the banks records.
They would have cashed the damned check, and if it bounced they would have notified the police, told them who, what, where and when, and pressed charges; then the police would have gone out and arrested him/her.
And yes, I know exactly what I'm talking about; I was the Finance Director for a SoCalif city for many years, and had detailed working relationships with every bank in said city.
1. Unless you are up-to-date on the current policies and protocol, your personal experience from a previous time is irrelevant.
2. But since we are on a personal experience tip; Five times in the last three years I used a PLS to obtain money orders, as they provide that service for free. In two of those five visits I observed the police being called in exactly what appears to be similar situations as the bank in the OP. So it is not unlikely that the teller was following policy/protocol similar to that which PLS employs.
As you said, "If not verified..." In other words, you have proven the check was fraudulent. Yep, call police. In this case, the check was never proven fraudulent because it was not fraudulent, but police were called anyway!
That is wrong on so many levels.
The check was not verified because, as the article reports, it did not match their records, which of course gives it the appearance of being fraudulent.
So, do you know that specifics bank's policy/protocol when faced with such a situation?
That's your story and you're sticking with it. I, however, watched what happened live, I watched what Trump said live, I heard Trump proudly brag about being a Nationalist and talk about "Antifa thugs"... not KKK thugs, Antifa thugs... so it's not debunked in my book. So that's my story and I'm sticking with it.
1. There is not a damn thing wrong with being a "Nationalist". Or do you not understand that "nationalist" is not something based on race?
2. I think you are conflating incidents, but with that said, Antifa were, and still are, thugs. They were the ones (all over this country) trying to violently stop those on the right from speaking and the ones initiating the violence.
I bet they wouldn’t have called the cops if the guy were white.
That is a bet you would likely lose.
Somehow I imagine that if I had been in the same situation, I would not have been reported, nor handcuffed. Somehow I imagine the bank would not have made such a mistake.
1. In this part of the woods, you imagine wrong.
2. The banks records did not match and they could not verify it with the supposed issuer. In that situation how would the "mistake" not have been made with you?
