Black employee jailed, searched and questioned 250 times while at his job. Annoyed employer films it - Polidicks

[url]http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/11/21/miami-gardens-store-owner-films-a-years-worth-of-outrageous-behavior-by-local-cops/[/url] [QUOTE]A Florida convenience store owner is preparing to file a federal civil rights lawsuit against local police after collecting more than two dozen videos detailing what he describes as regular harassment by officers against both customers and his employees. The Miami Herald reported that since installing cameras at his store in June 2012, 207 Quickstop owner Alex Saleh has amassed footage of Miami Gardens police arresting people for trespassing despite them having permission to be at the store, as well as conducting searches without a warrant and in at least one instance, reporting a trespassing arrest saying one of Saleh’s employees was loitering outside the business when video of the arrest showed him being taken into custody while he was working inside. The employee, Earl Sampson, has reportedly been put in jail 56 times, searched more than 100 times and questioned more than 250 times over the past four years, despite Saleh informing police on several occasions that he worked at the establishment. The arrests reportedly stopped after Saleh informed officers of his intentions of filing the civil suit.[/QUOTE] Employer has some balls to go against these cops. Hopefully he doesn't get hurt.

How freaking dedicated do you have to be to harass someone like this. Like is there a part of the story we're missing like he killed their pets or something? The hate some people have is just ridiculous.

So they are arresting an employee for trespassing at work? Glad the owner did the right thing and didn't take the easy way out.

Total abuse of their power, illegally.

Those comments are fucking awful.

I wonder if the cops are into something dirty, kind of sounds like they're trying to shakedown this business or drive them out of town.

I don't get it, did the police not know the store had cameras?

the officer should be charged with kidnapping in the first degree with a gun enhancement thrown on for good measure.

[QUOTE=AaronM202;42959054]Those comments are fucking awful.[/QUOTE] I don't think any of them know what a nazi is

what the fuck, why? is there something the article isn't telling us? regardless, those officers should be fired. complete waste of public resources.

I think I would probably install cameras too, if I had this guy coming around the convenience store every day: [img]http://www.rawstory.com/rs/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Angry-warrior-cop-via-Shutterstock-615x345.jpg[/img] I was really hoping for some footage! The same guy being arrested over a hundred times, played over with some funny music, would be very entertaining.

there's so many people in the comments section trying to justify the cops fucking despicable

what possible reason do they have for arresting this guy 56 times and questioning him daily... he works at the store....this is like that case where the cops xrayed a guys ass 5 times and still believed he was a drug mule

It's sickening that people even have the audacity to defend these cops, even if there is a pretty large mound of insurmountable evidence that these cops were in the wrong.

They sound like racist scum trying to destroy his business and ruin him. Can't even stand by and just let him get on with things out of their way. Disgusting.

Am I missing something? Where's the videos?

[QUOTE=itisjuly;42961681]Am I missing something? Where's the videos?[/QUOTE] I'd assume the business owner has them, seeing as they were filmed with his cameras.

[QUOTE=Antdawg;42961314] regardless, those officers should be fired. complete waste of public resources.[/QUOTE] They will be punished with paid vacations for a year.

i like how the title begins with "black employee" if he was white it wouldn't be news right

[QUOTE=spawny;42964307]i like how the title begins with "black employee" if he was white it wouldn't be news right[/QUOTE] If he was white, it probably wouldn't have happened. At least not to him. Then again, without watching all the videos I can't say that for certain, but either way this does happen far more often to non whites.
