Racial Profiling
Today I walked to piggly wiggly to purchase a few items for me and the family. Upon entering this store I was stopped by their security guard he stated that I would have to take off my backpack and leave it in the front. While doing so I asked him and a female manager why they usually let me in with my backpack on while shopping and both stated they didn't know. After placing my backpack on the counter I proceed to shop while doing so I noticed the security guard was following and watching me which was strange to me because he usually stands by the door and speaks to whom ever that enters this store. Thinking to myself he may not be watching me I proceed on to shopping after making my way to the second aisle to pick up a item or two I notice that he's a the very end of the aisle I immediately asked him why are you watching me, he stated I not watching you I'm reading a label I didn't reply I proceeded to the next aisle a grabbed two boxes of hamburger helper guess who's at the end of this aisle. Its the security guard so I proceed to walk to the register with him now walking beside me I asked him why are you following me, he states I'm not following you bub I snapped bub is not my name and you are following and watching me by this time I'm at the register swiping my card still snapping because he's telling me don't come back to the store and he's calling the police. So I told him to call they because I want to talk to them about him violating my constitutional rights so he's telling me to shut up now and he called for the manager and she comes to assist and she tries to tell me he's just doing his job. I told her I'm not supposed to drive so I'm walking everywhere I need to go because the Honorable Judge Barry Vaughn told me to stop driving and she doesn't want me to come in her store that she and her security guard needs to take that up with him because I use my backpack to carry whatever I purchase and that her security guard wasn't doing his job because any other day I come in dressed the way I was and having my backpack on my back while shopping I see him only twice per trip which is standing by the door when I enter and he's in the same spot when I exit. Because of him interrupting me I forgot a couple packs of chicken so I will be going back tomorrow and I will have evidence of racial profiling
