Forest Whitaker Falsely Accused Of Shoplifting By New York Deli, STOP AND FRISK!! -- Details Inside
Forest Whitaker Falsely Accused Of Shoplifting By New York Deli, STOP AND FRISK!! Forest Whitaker was not feeling the love at an NYC deli the day after Valentine's Day.
The Oscar-winning actor was reportedly frisked and searched at Milano Market Friday. As he was making his way out of the establishment, Whitaker's rep told E! News, he was stopped by an employee.
The employee patted Whitaker down and found nothing on him. "This was an upsetting incident given the fact that Forest did nothing more than walk into deli," Whitaker's rep told E! News.
"What is most unfortunate about this situation is the inappropriate way store employees are treating patrons of their establishment.
Frisking individuals without proof/evidence is a violation of rights."
"Forest did not call the authorities at the request of the worker who was in fear of losing his employment," Whitaker's rep continued.
"Forest asked that, in the future, the store change their behavior and treat the public in a fair and just manner."
A manager at the Upper East Side deli denied that the incident occurred, telling E! News, "nothing ever happened at this location yesterday" involving Whitaker.

Brother Whittaker is VERY, VERY NICE! As a security consultant & activist I know private citizens CAN'T run up on people & pat them down!
I would have gotten the employee fired & ended up owning the business. He may pat the wrong Black man and end up in the hospital or dead.

I bet the shop owner thought he was big and bad, he's lucky Forest has a heart, but something needs to be done about this discrimination.
