I don’t get it, how does depositing a check become a police matter?
PS: It says cash first and deposit further down, I’m assuming deposit must be the correct part.
Edit: PPS. I know there is racism and this happens in USA, but the amount of amateur hour from the Banks procedure, to the people working there and the police responding to a non issue is mind numbing for a person coming from Denmark, where banks are run professionally, and the police almost is too.
Racist bank employees made it a police matter when they assumed he was passing a fraudulent check and called to have the guy arrested for being a negro in possession of money.
But how do they “assume” this? And why does the police accept it without any evidence?
I mean the amateurish incompetence is staggering.
Isn’t it normal procedure to deposit the check until it’s cleared?
If a bank employee KNOWS someone is trying to deposit a fraudulent check, they should call the police to arrest that person instead of letting them leave and try again.
But they had no evidence, merely the racist assumption that a black man could not have come by that much money legally.
Welcome to the origin of the “it’s illegal to [x] while black” meme. It’s illegal to drive while black. It’s illegal to have money while black. It’s illegal to eat chips while black. It’s illegal to sleep in your own bed while black. Etc, etc, etc… All of these are examples of times black people have been profiled and discriminated against for no reason other than the color of their skin.
I mean, the cops killed George Floyd for using a counterfeit $20 bill at a convenience store in Minneapolis.
Detroit (where this happened) is just one state over.
That’s what makes matters so complicated to try to address - e.g. sometimes cops are racist themselves, directly, but other times they are not and yet still any race-blind application of “enforcement” is going to merely reinforce the racist policies of society.
“Sad:-(”
Aka systemic racism, covered in Criticsl Race Theory, which racists don’t want people to learn about.
Yes, and being a banker and policeman while racist, which is actually illegal. Being black remains legal despite Republicans best efforts.
USA is an extremely scary place, especially for people of any color other than white.
I’m a white guy in Texas. I keep being told I should be scared of all the Hispanic people coming over because there will be a taco truck on every corner and someone will sell me tamales during the week of winter we get.
It’s terrifying how many tacos I’ll eat.
Well ok. They’re only used interchangeably one way, nobody deposits a check and leaves with the money, but they’ll go to “cash a check” and deposit it.
Next thing you know, the judge thinks this guy is full of bullshit for being black, then gets sued for racism, thus continuing the cycle
When he cashes the cheque for this incident he gets nabbed again and more lawsuits. His lawyer must love him.
The lawyer gets probably 40-60% from every one of these. I bet they would love for the cycle of racism to never end.
More like infinite racism “glitch”
Infinite money sounds great, but if you activate this glitch the Law faction becomes hostile toward you and their aggro range is increased.
There is a similar cheat that you can activate with a cheat code, but your parents need to input the code on the title screen before starting your game. You’ll start in “New Game +” with huge bonuses to cash and influence. The Law faction becomes friendly toward you, and the MegaRich are neutral instead of hostile, and they’ll even forgive minor grievances sometimes.
I never learned the code so I can’t help much more than that. Sorry 😔
I started that way, it’s nice. You can still play on hard mode with the poverty debuff, but if you pick the right starting region it makes for a good game. Playing on dark mode with poverty debuff is just constant grinding with the level progression all fucked up, it’s kind of immersion breaking. You can get participation trophies that way though.
If you start with the cheat code you get a permanent culture debuff though.
Everyone gone woke nowadays.
Except the employer
And the police
Everyone except those in power gone woke somehow
