black man arrested for buying a belt
    #19021244 - 10/23/13 07:20 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

are people really this tarded :imout: http://nypost.com/2013/10/22/barneys-busted-student-for-being-black-suit/?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPFacebook&utm_medium=SocialFlow


Quote:

A college student from Queens got more than he bargained for when he splurged on a $350 designer belt at Barneys — when a clerk had him cuffed apparently thinking the black teen couldn’t afford the pricey purchase, even though he had paid for it, a new lawsuit alleges.

“His only crime was being a young black man,” his attorney, Michael Palillo, told The Post.



Trayon Christian, 19, a NYC College of Technology freshman from Corona, went to the Madison Avenue fashion mecca in April to buy the Salvatore Ferragamo belt after saving up his paychecks from a part-time job at the college.

But as soon as he exited the luxury department store, undercover officers grabbed Christian and asked “how a young black man such as himself could afford to purchase such an expensive belt,” according to the suit, filed Tuesday in Manhattan Supreme Court.

A Barneys clerk, who had asked Christian for identification when he bought the belt, called police claiming the purchase was a fraud, the suit says.


Plainclothes detectives hauled Christian off Fifth Avenue and into the local precinct.

There, Christian produced his identification, his debit card from Chase and the receipt with his name on it, the suit states.

“In spite of producing such documentation, Christian was told that his identification was false and that he could not afford to make such an expensive purchase.”
Modal Trigger

A belt similar to this one was purchased by Trayon Christian at Barneys.

Cops eventually called Chase, which verified that the card belonged to Christian, and they let him go.

Police sources said Christian has no arrest record.

Christian told The Post he returned the belt out of disgust over his treatment by the world-famous clothing store.

“I didn’t want to have anything to do with it,” he said, adding that he was first inspired to buy the accessory by Harlem rapper Juelz Santana who wears the Italian designer’s duds.

Christian said he’ll never shop at Barneys again.

He is suing both Barneys and the NYPD for unspecified damages.

Barneys did not immediately comment.

A spokeswoman for the city’s Law Department said she would review the claims once she received the suit.

What do you call it when you could be arrested and taken to jail for buying a belt? IF they could arrest you for that they could arrest you for whatever they want. They arrested a man for buyng fucking jolly ranchers for fucks sake

That is just sad... The kid was doing an exceptionally stupid purchase, especially because he is paying for college. But he didn't deserve to get arrested for it, life would have taught him the lesson eventually.

This kind of life lesson wouldn't have happened with a white kid. He would have been left alone to eventually declare bankruptcy because of stupidity.

Thank god that black kid got arrested, his financial future might have been saved!

he should have been arrested for being dumb enough to buy a 350$ belt. but to be honest if he returned it they did their job of encouraging this young black man to invest in an education in suing people than buying a stupid fucking belt

This is something that I wound expect to happen 30 years ago, it is mind-blowing of how ignorant and racsist some people are.
Personally I am not not racist, because I know racism is wrong... and being wrong is for black people.  :thatistroubling: JK

"his financial future might have been saved!"

The saddest part of this story is a young black college student pissing away his money on a belt.

This is a perfect example why the high level of poverty continues in the minority community.

Truly fucking disgusting.
