It is racist to describe a suspect as being black.
Wow, that sounds real easy! Arent’s these people trained for this? This doesn’t sound like a very elaborate scheme, just pointed a gun and got $500k, not bad.
Smells like an inside job. Good luck finding a male black in his 20s on linden blvd.
Typical African American business transaction. Are you kidding they train throughout their childhood for this parnassah.
#2, what was he supposed to do? Get himself shot???
