Racial Profiling: Does It Really Happen?

'Treme' actor settles racial profiling lawsuit against Macy's, NYC.  Prejudice is a a social ill that no one can seem to escape. This summer, HBO actor Robert Brown found himself in a bit of a pickle when he attempted to purchase a graduation gift for his mother.  

The gift was a watch valued at approximately $1,300.00.  As he attempted to purchase that watch, Mr. Brown was allegedly approached by the store's security.  He was then falsely accused of credit card fraud.  As a result, he was handcuffed.  Fortunately, Mr. Brown was released, but only after allegedly being ridiculed by the officers who did not believe he could afford the watch.  

If you or someone you know becomes a victim of racial profiling, please contact an attorney in order to protect and act upon your rights.
