Smh. This is RIDICULOUS!

In the latest case of racial profiling, a former journalist is calling out Memphis police after they arrested a teen for “violating the mall dress code policy.”

The former journalist noticed that the security guards were following the group of young black teens around. He then noticed that the security guard was calling the police and within minutes, authorities arrived. When the journalist asked why the cops were called, security said because they violated the malls’ “no hoodie” dress code policy.

Police then escorted the teens out but then they came back stating that they have rights! That’s when one of the teens was arrested and issued a citation that bans him from the mall.

The former journalist was so upset because he strongly feels like he witnessed a case of racial profiling and it happens too often where he lives.
