The officers should have treated him the same way they'd treat a successful white person.
Would they have asked a successful white person to get in their cruiser and transported to the victim for identification? Hell no.
Would they have asked a successful white person to sit and wait for an hour while the victim is brought to them? Hell no.
If the description matched that of a successful white person the cops would have stopped the man, spoken to him for 2 minutes, recorded his identification, and moved on. If he was in fact the culprit then great. They have his ID. That's the important part. Once you know who a bad guy is you can always catch them later.

I have no experience with US police, but as a successful white person, this is exactly what I would expect police officers to do to me. Why the hell wouldn't US police do it?
- platz 11y agoIt's easy for you to say that, because as a successful white person, you don't have any expectation of being accused of a crime you didn't commit. > "I was not going to let them take me anywhere because if they did, the chance I was going to be accused of something I did not do rose exponentially." Would you feel the same way if you were being stopped by the police in, say, Sudan, where the race of those running the system is not the same as your own?
