Just no. Any person the business as wanting to leave the cops have to enforce it. It has nothing to do with ethnicity. You can clearly see the cop is annoyed by this stupidity as well.
Except in the video, and in this very thread of comments you've decided to disgrace, the business had not asked him to leave until the last ~10 seconds.
And I’m sure that’s not what the business told the cops. Either way, they have to leave the business if the business wants them to. That’s the law. It’s not up to the cop at that point. He has to enforce it.
No agenda other than pointing out the reality of the law. The cop listened to both sides. And at the very end the business finally stated they wanted the man to leave at which point the cop informed the man he needed to leave. Pretty standard and this happened thousands of times across the county every day. Nothing of note happened in this video other than a business being pretty crappy on how it treats its patrons.

Please quote where anyone is arguing against what "the law" is.

This entire chain of comments is about how the bus called the cops without telling the guy he needed to leave. How is it so difficult for you to follow that?

I don't care for useless, irrelevant hyperbole.

Wow, welcome to the conversation. Finally. But also, if the business didn't tresspass the guy, why did the cops show up? Now circle aaaaaaall the way back to the top of this thread, keeping in mind all of this fascinating new information you've gathered on your arduous journey to here.
No they wouldn't let his son in with no id. The guy is a member with an id they accepted. His son left, the guy stayed to work out but asked to see the manager. Manager called the cops instead.
Ah okay. Just saw his son at the start so kinda assumed that was from the same session. Guess he…. found another clip of his son working out and put it in?
According to other comments, the front desk told him they could not accept the school ID for his son. He asked to speak to a manager and was told the manager was busy. So he told the front desk folks to send the manager over to talk when he wasn't busy. The guy goes and starts a workout with his son. Instead of being a manager and speaking to the customer, the manager called the cops.
Lol tbf, it really looked like the cop did not want anything to do with this situation. You could tell he hated having to kick the guy out. Felt like the cop felt bad for the dad and his son. That big sigh he has at the beginning of the video is just "I know this sucks dude, but I have to do this bc they called us."
Man it's 2026 and Big Dick Randy coming back
And on Halloween night he gon' be looking for a snack
If you see that dude comin', better run like you in track
He a big scary dude, man he seven foot and black
Yeah, as a black person in the South there's definitely no shortage of racism here but some folk are delusional if they think this only happens in the South.
funny, because when my car got stolen and I called the police, they wouldn’t even come out. i had a car. parked at my house. it disappeared. i wanted to report it stolen and also tell them who stole it. they wouldn’t come because “sounds like a civil matter”. landlord sold my car because she claims it was sitting unused for months (even though i had been driving it to work everyday).
but they’ll come out for this, and they know whose side to be on right away. the side of the corporation.
we need a second kind of law enforcement that actually helps people, since US police are only about protecting companies.
A guy who is a member of our gym is working out and his son, who is authorized as a guest to workout is also working out. We don’t want to accept the ID presented for the son though, because reasons…
Well, recently a swat team was dispatched to retrieve stolen Legos - but not the actual stolen Legos the first time they were reported stolen. So, a lot.
Or recognize that not all teenagers have ID, so requiring one in the absence of its existence doesn't make sense. Especially when the member is the parent.
Police onl exist to serve corporate interests. Think about how little they do when your bike is stolen or your car gets hit by a driver that leaves the scene… and then think about how many times you’ve seen them protecting buildings, business’s, or resources while infringing on citizens constitutional rights.
Right. Imagine if they had to call a private security firm and pay them to show up to deal with this. HQ would be livid. But thankfully for them their "private security" is paid for by tax paying US citizens instead and apparently they're all too willing to lick corporate boot.
This is literally how the first modern police started in England in the 1800s.
Groups of shop keepers and merchants grouped together to share the cost of hiring security for deterrence and stolen goods recovery. Eventually they got tired of paying for it and convinced the London city government to take it over.
For sure. We need some form of law enforcement, it's obvious that without it society would be worse off. Situations like this are not what an armed officer should be present for, or even called.
The cop in the video almost came off like he was understanding, but the moment the man tried to explain and call these idiots out it was "now you're causing the problem". That's when I realized the officer knew the gym made a pointless call and was looking for any reason to take their side so he could kick the guy out and go about his day.
Lmfaoooooo. I can’t imagine being this brainwashed holy shit. The fact that you think CAPITALISM was the “progenitor” of slavery. Jesus. We’re being beat down by a generation of broccoli haired fools who see a video on TikTok and think they now know everything
Hey comrade? Slavery has existed for many millennia longer than capitalism.
capitalism was 100% the progenitor of chattel slavery which, since we're talking about African Americans, is something you should have been able to infer without it being explicitly stated.
chattel slavery is inherently different from other forms of slavery because of that connection to capitalism -- treating slaves as property.
Nobody mentioned chattel slavery, and I’m really not interested in your racist comparisons over which slaves had the worst. The claim that was made was that slavery and policing exist because of capitalism. Neither one is even remotely true.
Reading is fundamental. Try to keep up with the rest of the class.
Slave patrols were mentioned; not slavery as a whole. Slave patrols, which later became police departments, were invented in service of US slavery which was chattel slavery.
And race as a social construct didn't exist until US chattel slavery was created. Thus, race itself and racism is a byproduct of capitalism.
Acknowledging facts and logic isn't brainwashing. Perhaps you should engage your brain a bit more.
“ if I take something that’s been occurring for thousands of years and give it a unique name for when it’s done by western nations i can then blame western institutions for it”
Racism, slavery, policing, all predate White people by many centuries
Race didn't exist until the 1600s and was invented to put new world slaves in a perpetual underclass which *differed from every instance of slavery that ever existed until that point. When any institution, Western ones included does something novel, it gets a different name.
societies MILLENIA before the United States categorized people by ancestry, ethnicity, lineage, religion, and physical characteristics. Ancient Greeks, Romans, medieval Arabs, Chinese dynasties, and others all expressed forms of ethnocentrism and prejudice. The specific Black/White racial hierarchy that developed in the Atlantic slave trade was distinctive, but it wasn’t the invention of the very idea of race.
Like i said, you have some deep burning desire to blame literally everything on the West. You’ll lie about literally anything to win an online argument
It was. Differences in phenotypes were noted prior to the establishment of race but before this, a human was a human. Also, slavery wasn't a genetic, lifelong, inescapable reality before being codified as such by the laws establishing what race was in the 17th century New world.
You have some deep, burning desire to whitewash history to make your ancestors appear less maniacal than they were and to validate any undue status that you currently enjoy from the fruits of their crimes.
The truth doesn't cower from lies and you are a liar.
Furthermore, you have the Joseph Lozito subway attacker case. In the Lozito case, a police officer just watched guy get stabbed multiple times and did nothing, actually hid, but amazingly Lozito turned the tide and subdued the attacker. Lozito sued but lost, Scalia, Supreme Court justice at the time, was basically like if it was private property it would be different but because it’s not the police aren’t required to get involved. It sounds too crazy to be true but unfortunately it is. Furthermore, similar types of cases have basically ruled in a similar fashion.
“The origins of modern-day policing can be traced back to the "Slave Patrol" in the early 1700s, which was established to control enslaved people and prevent uprisings. Over time, local municipalities began forming police departments to enforce laws, including those related to racial segregation during the Jim Crow era.”
Right.... that's the 1700s version of protecting corporations and their "property" and interests.
But why stop at just a quick search?
If you read on you'll see that modern day police forces were formed to engage in union busting and the protection of corporate masters and their capital.
"The police are primarily there to protect business property first, and residential property second, not human interactions. If that were the case, they would fail miserably,” says Gary Potter, who is a professor at Eastern Kentucky University’s School of Justice Studies.
No, it was a euphemism for what really took place. Although it may have evolved to what it is today, it is only right to acknowledge its disturbing past.
Yet I feel like corporate bullshit always has the strongest reactions from them. Someone trying to get help because a stalker is harassing them? Sorry can’t help. But don’t you dare try to steal a pack of gum from a Walmart. Yay capitalism.
Corporations should not have access to police period. They should be required by law to police themselves. Trillion+ dollar organizations that do not contribute to local communities should not have access to community benefits.
