Michigan Avenue Black Friday protests cost stores 25-50 percent of sales
I don't think anyone would dispute, after seeing the videos, that the policeman was in the wrong in this matter. Yes, he is innocent until proven guilty.
But how much did it cost other innocent people that had nothing to do with this individual police officer? Will they be laid off, because they didn't get the sales that they needed to run in the black? The economy is a fragile, fragile thing... compassion and concern should be the forefront of the movement, instead it was just another attention seeking media event. Nothing else matters.
Wasn't it just last year that someone proclaimed Black Friday as a racist holiday? I guess it is relative, like everything else.
