Man mistaken for burglar in his own home

A North Carolina homeowner was handcuffed and detained after his home security alarm called the police.

According to WTVD, Kazeem was in his boxer shorts in the foyer of his house starring down the barrel of a Raleigh Police officer's gun.

"This was one of the most humiliating experiences of my life," said Kazeem.

Kazeem says a friend spent the night and tripped the alarm unknowingly.

So, if the police IGNORE the alarm because it was turned off, then the Fake News media screams "Raleigh Police Refuse to Answer Alarm at Black Man's Home!"

It can happen when you have alarms.

Hey, Kazeem!

No White House beer for you!

This was one of the most humiliating experiences for Kazeem? Kaz, give it some time and I promise that you will have much worse humiliations in life than this.

Yep - usually the alarm folks call to see if someone will verify the need...by the time that all happens a burglar could walk off with a bag of stuff. Had ADT for a while until they priced themselves out and they actually took 15 minutes to call one night when the system went off because of a bad sensor...I looked at my next monitoring bill and decided the sign in the yard was every bit as effective as their “service”...

Really? Little ol’ liberal Raleigh-Durham? And, the “perp” being a protected member of the community. I’m surprised the cops didn’t offer to buy him some donuts or offer to pay his kid’s college tuition.

Everything worked as it should have. Liberals straining to find a way to blame this on institutional racism, White privilege, or some such bull$hit.

Following the funeral of my grand mother years ago, I was the first to arrive at my sister and brother-in-law's house and inadvertently set off their alarm. Within 5 minutes the police showed up and stayed until the rest of the family arrived, all the while the alarm was blaring since I didn't know the code to shut it off........

Fortunately I was in a suit and tie so I didn't look like a typical burglar.

The same thing happened to me many years ago. I accidently set off the alarm while arriving for work. I finally got it turned off, but then was confronted by a cop in a narrow hallway. “Are you a burgaler”, he asked with his hand firmly on his gun.

One of the most humiliating experiences for Americans is letting so many people like him into the country.

“Situational awareness” is not just a buzz term ...

Hey, at least he did not have some cocaine sitting out on the table when the police came in like Patrick Chung of the New England Patriots did when the Meredith, NH police responded to his home.
