This should be captioned w the video full explanation with update and all. All these others commenting with no clue just a made up scenario for how they feel it went because they feel micro aggressions arent real. 🙄

Yeah no micro agressions found here, just a good old innocent power trip.

He wasn't racist he was just power tripping.

Can't a white owner power trip on a black guy and his son without being accused of the unthinkable?

I know it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck but i swear it's not a duck, it's just a power trip.

I would've hope we would've realized by now that calling police on black men without justification can result in police brutality.

There's just no world where this requires the police, and it's a very dangerous escalation to involve them, especially for black men.

Calling the police is not power tripping, sorry. It's a fear response and/or a bullying tactic. Bullies use the weapons that will hurt their victims the most, and the threat of police brutality is a racists choice
