This Arab guy got SWATed by hotel desk clerk.

Quote:
A woman called 911 Wednesday and told dispatchers someone in "full headdress" was pledging allegiance to ISIS in an Avon hotel lobby.

It happened at the Avon Fairfield Inn and Suites.

Avon police got the call around 6 p.m. from a woman calling on behalf of her sister, who works on the desk at the inn


Quote:
Police put the man in handcuffs and searched him, but no weapons of any kind were found on the man.

Officers spoke to the hotel's front desk clerk. That's when officers learned the man did not make any statements related to ISIS.

Generally when somebody gets SWAT'ed, and the cops find out that it was all a hoax, the person who calls for the SWAT team goes to jail for a long time. -- If this is the case with the desk clerk, hopefully they will be out of circulation for a while.

It wasn't a hoax.

The hotel clerk was still hiding in the back.

Her father had to call police and let them know.

Another case of a clueless, racist white person falsely reporting a brown-skinned, Arabic-speaking Muslim for terrorism.

How often does that happen on a planet with 7 billion people? In other words, why waste bandwidth pointing out the mundane and obvious?

It was a hoax. Read the entire article, these two sentences in particular ...

Why waste time at all by exercising one's right to free expression of racial profiling?

The clerk and her daddy committed a crime by filing a false police report. The clerk should lose her job and they should both be arrested.

I hope that the victim sues them for everything they own and earn.

The clerk actually believed he was acting suspicious.

The clerk was not arrested, because calling police regarding suspicious behavior is not a crime.

Yes, I had watched the whole video.

He looks like a white guy. Especially when he faints (time 14:54).

I'm guessing this narrative of this alleged terrible runaway Islamophobia. Some random hotel clerk had a panic attack and the cops responded to the call as they are required too. Thought the cops actually were pretty professional here all things considered,

Sorry, I meant to direct that query to LoveNotHate, rather than the OP. Sorry OP and Jacoby for the confusion there.

Just posting news and current events, for people to discuss.

Maybe I shouldn't have included my own commentary about the SWATing, but it was the most appropriate title I could think of that would fit in the space.

The clerk is an idiot. Her sister and father are also idiots.
