From JSOnline:

According to the police, around 5 p.m. Friday they observed four individuals in a red Chevy Tahoe with vehicle plates issued to a dealer. When store employees saw a red Chevy Tahoe outside the store Monday, they called the police department.

Dixon had asked for extra watch on his store Monday after a Green Bay store that sells Rolex watches was burglarized on Sunday, the police report indicated.

There are many black people in the area who do not live in the "hood" and there are many of us who send our children to private schools at our expense. But, if I want to step out and shop I have to dress in my Sunday's best as to not appear ghetto like those "other blacks?"
Not necessarily. But would you happen to drive with other guys in a big red chevvy with dealer plates (i.e. without any proper license number) and be dressed in a particular fashion popular in the hoods by a jewelry store which was recently burglarized, right about its closing time, would you be really surprised if they would call police? Don't you think if a group of white bikers stop by and they were previously burglarized by some biker, they would act differently?

And what exactly happened? Store employee called a friendly Whitefish Bay cops who inquired about person's ID and then helped to refute employees concerns. Me, being a white male, had been stopped by a friendly WFB cop a few days ago politely asking what the hell am I doing driving at 4AM... I explained and it took me 20 minutes, but I don't shout racism, or well since I'm not born in USA I could scream nazism?

Maybe you should post the actual article & read it.
Bucks' John Henson says he was racially profiled in Whitefish Bay

The actual incident with Henson happened on Monday, not Friday. You need to get your facts straight.

This was posted in JSOnline (thx for the link) - take your beef to their editorial stuff. I merely copied and pasted what was there

I wasn't there to know better, but usually police records don't lie about dates and times they were called... I would go by what police said officially on the record, not Mr. Henson's twit post.

I wasn't going by his twitter post. I was going by the actual js article. You know, the one you incorrectly quoted & the one that I provided so you could get it right? Maybe you need to re-read it because you're still not getting it right.

Actually, the incident happened on Friday, by both Mr.Henson own account and police records. On Monday president of the store chain issued an apology. You need to read the article yourself in full before suggesting it to other people.

Friday is not Monday. Monday is when this happened.
