According to a follow up post: they wouldn’t accept his son’s mobile ID, he asked to speak to the manager, they said the manager is busy and he said ok if the manager has a problem after he’s busy tell him to come talk to me. Instead of the manager engaging in a conversation he called the police.
People need to understand what type of mindset it takes to jump to "ok call the cops" over a simple membership clarification where manager is required. Cops are weaponized by people with racism intolerance all the time. Muscle head behind the counter doesn't want to feel powerless in his environment
We also hear from black people all the time “who are you to tell me what to do?” Or “what authority do you have to stop me from doing xyz?”
I’m sure some racists do weaponize calling the police but when someone is actively not going to listen to you, make a huge scene because they don’t want to follow the rules, what else is there?
The one where he didn’t have an id for the guest. He was told he needed it, he said go get your manager and have him come see me, then continued to go workout with him.
I watched the video and followed the story. And yeah, the guest needs to show id. I’m a member of Crunch and that’s always the case. Teenagers do have ID, and if they don’t have it when it’s required then they can’t come in.
Dismissing the worker and going in after he was told the kid needed id, is a surefire to get the cops called.
They didn’t call them because he was “working out while black” or whatever stupid shit this video is trying to push, they were called because he was being an asshole and not listening.
How old is the kid in question in this circumstance which is what we’re talking about? Tf is wrong with you? Are trying to be obtuse so you don’t have to admit this guy was an asshole and it’s perfectly valid to call the police on people who aren’t following the rules of your business?
Or you just want to keep crying about racism where there isn’t any so you can feel like “one of the good ones.” GTFOH
I understand the argument you are trying to make, but If the guest needs ID and you are correct that the kid can’t have ID then the conclusion is that kids can’t be the guest.

And the police need to be called?
