Racism in any form offends every bone in my body... We're all human beings and deserve to be treated as such.......

Black grocery store worker, 23, was HANDCUFFED while trying to cash his $900 paycheck after bank manager called cops claiming it was fake: US bank CEO apologizes over 'banking while black' bias

Joe Morrow worked as a picker at a UNFI grocery store in Hopkins, Minnesota
Last October, he tried to cash his $900 paycheck at a branch of US bank
The bank manager claimed it was fake and phoned the police
Morrow was hauled into a room in the bank and then put in handcuffs while cops and the bank manager called UNFI to confirm it was real
Sgt. Justin Pletcher, the white cop who responded him, told him not to 'say anything stupid or you'll get arrested'
He also told him that 'getting upset' made him 'look guilty' - even though he was not
US Bank last month paid him an undisclosed settlement and the bank's CEO has apologized
It's unclear if the bank manager remains in his position or if Sgt. Pletcher has been disciplined
