Royal Oak Police stopped a 20-year-old black man because a white woman called police saying he 'looked suspiciously' at her Tuesday, a video posted to Facebook shows.
According to a Facebook live stream (embedded below) shot by Kimiko Adolph, Devin Myers was stopped by police as he was walking down 4th Street Tuesday evening because a woman called police on him for looking at her. Adolph and Myers both said in the video that she called because he 'looked suspiciously' at her.
Adolph tagged Myers but also said later in the video that she doesn't know him and isn't even from the area.
Myers has his arms crossed in front of his chest through most of the time that he's in the video. He's calm the entire time and even apologizes to the patrol officers who stopped him "for wasting your guys' time".
The video starts after the officers had stopped him but both Adolph and Myers reference a woman in a white car parked in front of the CVS across the street as being the woman who called the police. Both also say they're waiting for a police supervisor to arrive.
Supervisors arrived about 4 minutes into the video and Myers explains to them that they were called because he "looked suspicious".
Along with Adolph and Myers is the owner of the Inn Cafe who is advocating on Myers' behalf.
...the Inn Season Cafe has not posted publicly about the incident but responded to a comment praising their actions saying "we have been fighting for love and compassion for 38 years and we have no intention of stopping anytime soon."

You’re 100% correct.
If he had wolf whistled at her, he’d be in jail. Maybe so if held a door for her. Can’t have that these days.
