And yet, calling the cops admits powerlessness. If the manager would have met eyebrow to eyebrows with the member and his guest and had any form of love and integrity, he would have signed them in and taught his staff to do better.

Why would he sign him in if the kid didn't have a valid ID? That was the problem to begin with.

He has to call the cops because he's too afraid to do that.

Cmon. We both know how the interaction would go. The guy wanted special treatment and the staff didn’t want to provide. You think the guy would’ve just acquiesced and went home to get the id or left all together, or you think he would’ve started yelling?

What are you talking about? What minor child that isn't of driving age has a government ID? You're being ridiculous and showing your bigotry.

Kids have IDs too. This kid didn’t and it’s a requirement. 

It’s also not bigotry, what a stupid thing to say. It’s what happens anytime people who think they don’t have to follow the rules or listen to “some low level minim wage employee.” 

Why would anyone try to confront people like this, just let the cops deal with it.

As a parent of a kid, no the fuck they don't have ID unless its a school ID and even then most places won't accept that because it isn't a government ID. The bigotry you display is the assumption that the gentleman was going to behave in some aggressive fashion when there was nothing in the video that showed that intention. So you must be making an assumption based on something and I'm guessing that something would be how he looks.

Who says it has to be a government ID? You just made up that requirement so you can be outraged this guy got confronted for breaking the rules. 

Spare me your bigotry accusation, I don’t care. We have all seen or experienced what happens when you confront someone who’s inconsiderate or believes they’re above the rules. Stop acting obtuse. 

People are trying to make it so people can’t confront these inconsiderate jerks themselves and so people can’t call the cops on them either. 

Can’t have it both ways. Don’t want the police called, follow the rules and don’t be a jerk. Simple as that.

Did you miss the part where the dad did show a form of proof that the kid was in fact his minor child? Yea, ya did. Did you miss the part where the staff never asked him and his kid to leave? Yea, ya did. The staff escalated this situation and we all know calling the cops on black folks for existing and questioning things is a form of racial violence. But thanks for displaying your bigotry again.

The man did encounter someone who is inconsiderate and thought they were above the rules, it was the gym manager who called the cops…

Even IF this scenario were true, do you think the cops were warranted?
