Police Draw Guns on Men Opening Bank Account
Skokie police drew their guns and surrounded a Bank of America Monday morning because two "suspicious" men wanted to open an account.
The two men describe what happened and tell NBC Chicago they were unfairly singled out by bank employees and police because of how they look.
Oops.
The men who were targeted by police called it “racial profiling” and a police over-reaction.
The two were apparently trying to open an account, but employees thought they appeared suspicious and called police.
After police surrounded the bank, both men surrendered. One man left the bank with his arms up, while the other sat on the sidewalk with two officers pointing machine guns at him. The men had no weapons.
