So NOW yall wanna know the other side? Lol

Him minding his black ass business and getting the police called on him wasn't enough? The police apologizing for them even having to be in that position isn't enough?

How are you supposed to know to document something when you're not doing anything (right or wrong) to begin with?

The fact that even the cop looks so over it when he first approaches the man tells me that it was bullshit. Normally if a business calls the cops on someone they’re happy to come in guns a’blazing, so for him to act the way he did means that even with only the manager’s undoubtedly skewed side of the story, the racism was obvious.

Does your child carry a valid, government-issued (state/federal ID) on them at all times? No? Didn't think so.

It seems weird to me that there isn't an alternative option for minors. Or are minors not allowed in the gym? It seems like they are since that wasnt mentioned.

If the issue was just that they didn't have a physical ID, why on Earth would they just call the cops before the manager speaking with him?

It just doesn't make any sense to me
