(2,424 posts)"And many of us in this and other threads keep telling you that it IS the "manager".
We agree, you and I. I agree that the manager was a problem here.
However, my OP was not about the manager. I specifically stated that the manager was the problem (or likely a problem, whatever).
My OP was about whether we should ALSO blame the cops and the company, IN ADDITION to the manager.
Now, you raise some other points about the cops response, which is at least germane to the discussion in this thread.
1.) The 911 dispatcher: we don't have the transcript, so we cannot say what the 911 dispatcher asked about. Although if you have a link to the transcript of the call I would like to read it.
2.) The disturbance issue isn't relevant, since this was a trespassing call. The crime of trespassing does not require a finding that the men are creating a disturbance. All the cops need is the property owner saying the men are trespassing after being asked to leave, which is what happened.
"And yes there is ignoring of racial injustice. This and the other threads clearly shows this."
This is wrong. You have misread what I have written and you have come to a conclusion based on that misreading that isn't correct. I ask that you please refrain from accusing me of things that are not contained in my posts.
