The teller was black. Imagine being too dumb to notice they didn't mention that. Americans lol
Isn't that rod ?? Call rod
Did he go to jail?
Heeeeer
Racist! Oh wait the teller was black.. uhhgm wait I know, the SyStEm is racist!! Hahaha shut up morons, it was a sketchy situation for the teller, ANT TIME someone acts inconspicuous and passes you a note is a red flag as a bank teller. So shut up about the supposed "outrage". And sheep stop letting the news trigger you with their trigger words and insinuations that it was a race thing. Wake up and see reality if you've the brain cells
BLM AND ANTIFA WAKE UP AMERICA AND JUSSIE SMULLET CALLED US RACIST 🇺🇸 WAKE THE F UP AMERICA. WHO IS THE REAL RACIST AMERICA. YOU ARE ALL SUPPORTING THIS GARBAGE BLM AND ANTIFA LOL .WAKE UP DONER
Maybe instead of following her gut, she should just do her job… which she hopefully no longer has.
Anyone who has asked for more than 10k knows its not just you and the teller. It's not just "YOUR MONEY" anymore
Some one need to fire that dumb bank clerk such lo IQ
Bank of America are traitors embezzled FBI agents bank accounts in California since 1950's or earlier by murder.
Funny stuff. I love it when corrupt corporations embarrass themselves on a nationwide scale. And their public image drops a little more. It's corporations like this one who have bankrupted the country while stealing from the People (bank bailouts after knowingly getting involved with subprime mortgage leveraging).
She a sell out to the white man shame on her she need to be arrested evil witch
So is this supposed to be a hit piece on the police or the black teller that called the cops?
Putin would NEVER have invaded Ukraine if TRUMP was PRESIDENT
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Trump is a LIVING GOD..🕇🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 and King of America..👑..he should be on Mount Rushmore as one of our GREATEST Presidents next to Lincoln…Trump is ALMIGHTY GOD in Human Form and has changed the WORLD..🕇🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
He was trying to start some bs
I'm white they thought i was a bank robber one Time so I'm sick and tired about these blacks whining about they are always profiled
Did he decide to switch banks?..
Just wondering…
Good police work and heads up by the bank employee. He should of had on of the bank officers take him into an office to handle a withdrawal of this amount. You'd think that's what he would have done instead of writing a note on the back of the withdrawal slip and keep saying to the employee who's questioning him just look at the note just look at the note while wearing a mask. You know bank robberies happen like that!
Nah he was stupid for this. Celeb status or not.
Just fire the incompetent teller
Another black man being detained for being black …. Is the teller racist?
Banks are not discrete and anyone in line behind you knows how much you are walking out with. However, sliding a note and not really talking or explaining yourself wasn’t wise either. The tellers are on camera and they do need to show clearly what was given and that it was accurately counted out for you. Ten thousand isn’t a large transaction but he could have spoken to a branch manager and explained that he wanted privacy because he feared for his safety n walking out with ten thousand in cash. Yes, people have been robbed and killed while walking to their car carrying money in smaller or larger sums
She’s black and he is black. It’s just called trying to be safe. No racism. I’ve had things happen to me and I just take it in stride and it always works out.
Despite being only 13% of the population……
I'm pretty sure you know the rest.
She should be fired….!!
This is how our black women are, they are trained to systematically hate black men or trained to see black men as a threat or the AGGRESSOR.
I'm glad nothing happened to him.
Black women need a real WAKEUP CALL BECAUSE BLACK MEN are NOT going to continue to put up with MESS with BLACK WOMEN.
You don’t get to call the shots when and when not to move on when you weren’t the one being stigmatized and held at gun point. She could’ve gotten Coogler shot. I’m sorry but I don’t represent her, and I agree with Dr. Bernice’s statement, “I’m glad he’s still here with us, too” 🙏🏾😔
She said "her stomach started turning" and "it was weird." That he's asking her to be discreet about him withdrawing a large amount of "his own money" after he presents ID? She's"weird" and ignorant.

There wasn’t a soul in that bank, no need for a note. He was hoping for white teller and white cops and a multi million dollar law suit, along with some of that Jessie Smollett flavor fee publicity.
I would remove all of my money from that bank.
Wait black teller ….black police ? Why is this News? This happens to white people and never makes news. No white cops here people move on.
It's been the police motto for 20 years…detain first ask questions later…idk why anyone is surprised by this video
She needs to be fired…point blank!!!
I'm going to try that at my bank and see what happen lol
My advice to the black panther actor. I would find another bank and then sue Bank Of America. For the black lady, I would have fired her immediately. Not for what she did but he could have gotten killed, for a withdrawal. When all she had to do was check the information. This is a poor example of Bank Of America and our own people. We have to do better than this, seriously. This situation was common sense, to check the account…
Jesus loves you guys
Ya very good , brave police
Question. How many times has this Bank been robbed?
In fact I have a better question. How many of those robbers (if there were any) stuck around while the teller was "getting money from the back office"?
Blame the mask nazis.
I don't think people understand how serious it is when a man ties another man's hands behind his back and physically moves his body to another man's car when you've done nothing. Those policies are authoritarian and should be changed. The American people are taking it entirely too lightly. They need to be sued every time they physically interrupt your day. Because let's be real. Your day belongs to you and no one else. You have constitutional rights. Use them to stand up for yourselves. Just sayin.
They act like black people can't have a lot of money
The bank needs to be sued the black girl needs to be sued the police officers need to be sued all of them need to be sued the black girl need to lose her job the bank need to be sued for making him look bad like that the police officer need to be sued for pulling guns out on him making him look bad and criticizing him like that
That😸 imbecilic BOA Teller might do well to Enlist in the USAF 😸🎆🎇
Just because he is black….smh
This is Bank of America's culture. They called the police on me when I tried to cash a check that THEY WROTE to me for insurance. It was about $1300. I was just waiting. Then the police showed up. I was sick and scared. This is just who they are. They employ blacks but they've trained them to call the police on us. They said they thought it was a fake check. I was told by the insurance people to go straight there I had JUST left sent immediately there. I called in front of police. They listened to the white guy on the phone, did not cash the check but I got to leave. I HATE BANK OF AMERICA!!
