The man was wearing traditional middle eastern dress and was labeled a terrorist, cops called and brought him down...

Is this where we are now? Any person wearing a keffiyeh and dasha is a terrorist?

It's because of this.

Just takes one person to make a call. Could happen to anyone these days.

Yes, it most likely was. But your going to get a lot more people calling and saying there is something wrong with "said" person/s, because of the threat of something could be wrong. Welcome to the new world were living in. Sucks, that's for sure.

Need to change you thread title, this guy was never arrested, he was just detained.

^well said. We all give up some of our rights when shit goes bad. Our privacy is deteriorating just as our safety.

I am glad that this happened.
ISIS supporters come in all colours, shapes and sexes.
If he was allegedly overheard speaking his allegiance to ISIS while in a public space with many people I would want it to be investigated quickly as well to make sure he wasn't about to do something after making his final pledge.
He just happened to be wearing clothes like that. The response would be no different say if you are overheard taking about bombs or hijacking at an airport.

So tough shit for this guy. It happened move on.
So OP the world has always been one of being punished by false allegations. Some never even get disproved.

Sometimes you push your trolling bullshit a little too far.

But he was NOT overheard speaking about ISIS. I have a BIG problem with the fact that some fucking idiot simply sees someone wearing middle-eastern clothing and that person is then tackled to the ground and held against his will. This is completely fucked up to me. If there had been any suspicious behaviour, that's one thing, but there wasn't. None at all. People who make calls like this are really stupid racist assholes as far as I'm concerned.

PJfan, why are you "glad" this happened?? Unless you think it might raise awareness about how someone just looking middle eastern isn't a good reason to call the cops, I don't see how any decent person could be glad this happened.

Did you read the article? The man spoke little English yet the hotel clerk thought he was "pledging allegiance to ISIS" while he spoke on the phone in Arabic? You think an actual terrorist would be that stupid?

At least the mayor and police department acknowledged screwing up.

Doesn't matter. The police had know way of knowing when receiving the call.
People make false allegations all the time and they all have to be investigated in case one slips away.

and yes terrorists are that stupid

And a very important quote from the article btw:

“Guns were drawn,” the mayor said. “When you make a false accusation, you put that person’s life in danger.” Mr. Menhali, he added, “was 100 percent innocent.”

Would all these morons feel proud of themselves for being racist and paranoid if their indefensible accusations resulted in the death of an innocent person??? Because that is a very real risk when they do shit like this.

Oh, and as if this weren't bad enough, did you catch this little kick in the butt?
"He said he was in Ohio because he was visiting the Cleveland Clinic for a medical procedure. He had been looking for a hotel room because the owner of the apartment where he was staying in Cleveland wanted to rent it out for the Republican National Convention."

Well said pjsoul!

I agree that the cops were right in what they did but to the person that called in, shame on you.

Every foreigner is going to be subject to this type of behavior...

Unfortunately true.

I would think a hotel's staff would see more visitors from other countries than most businesses.

The issue is not the police. The issue is the people calling 911 for no reason and initiating a take-down of someone who is literally doing nothing.

I wish.

The police is another issue to this whole story as well.

You can pledge allegiance to ISIS out loud with two words.
Many Islamic terrorists are on record of having said two words before committing atrocities.

Unless you live under a rock you know what two words those are.
