Add eating out as a family on your way back from vacation to the list of things that black people can’t seem to do in peace.

A family of seven who stopped at a Subway in Coweta County, Ga., on Monday to eat dinner said that they had the police called on them while they were there because of their race.

The employee’s 911 call was released and in it, she could be heard saying that he needed someone to respond “now” because the family kept going back and forth the bathroom and maybe putting soda in water cups, according to WSBTV.

The horror.

The Dobsons, meanwhile insisted they did nothing wrong.

The crew, including two parents, their four children, and the children’s aunt were all returning from a grandmother’s birthday in South Georgia when they stopped by the Subway to grab a bite.

Example would be Millionaire Dez Bryant being kicked out of a N Dallas mall for dressing like a thug, complete with pants hanging almost to his knees.

A truism learned on Free Republic is that there are few situations that can’t be made worse by the addition of a cop.

Said another way, you better REALLY need a cop before you call a cop.

An hour in Subway? I would have been suspicious too.

murder in Coweta county.

Sort of like those Polish death camps.

The killer was from Meriwether County. Only got in trouble because the alleged victim made it across the county line before he go caught.

I see a lot of black brown and yellow people working at Subway. Her coworkers are all white every shift?

She sounds like she might need to be a tad bit more assertive. “I’m sorry, you cannot access the soda machine, unless you pay for soda. You ordered water.” Or, “Are y’all all right? Is there anything I can do?”

That would be a bad idea.

See something, say something, except about a protected class.

The media picked this right away. Seems a bit suspicious.

The first sentence in this story tells me all I need to know about it.

it’s probably not to parlay impeachment. Maybe it’s to get revenge on one’s employer for some perceived slight. Nothing lasting will happen to the employee but the publicity against Subway will pay off politically. That said, perhaps the popo should have just wandered into the store casual like, bought a soda or got a free water, and sat down for a few moments to read his phone messages. That usually gets people to steppin’ without a word being said.

Two Subways within 2 miles of me have closed in the last year. I would occasionally buy there and the places were always busy, so I don’t understand the closings.

I like your thinking on that matter.
