A couple’s joyous Juneteenth weekend turned into a nightmare when they were accused of shoplifting at a Toledo Bed, Bath & Beyond location.
Lamar Richards tweeted that he and his boyfriend were falsely accused of stealing “high-ticket items” while shopping for their new home. The police were called on the two young, Black, gay men during Juneteenth weekend and Pride Month.
Richards explained that they had purchased $600 worth of items at a closing sale before noticing a police officer on their way out. In cellphone footage, the cop admitted to being called for “two Black guys” who an employee thought was stealing.
Richards expressed that he had never experienced such humiliation.
A civil rights attorney, Benjamin Crump, also shared the video clips on social media. Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. stated to Newsweek that they take such matters very seriously and do not condone any form of discrimination.
