    14 years old. Forgot his belt. When he was carrying his concessions at the movie theater his pants started to sag. Police arrested him for it. New Jim Crow at work.http://www.kake.com/story/38273396/wichita-teen-says-he-was-arrested-for-sagging-pants-at-warren-theatre …

        Jesus christ, have you learned nothing from #SheritaDixonCole? You just spread the word of a 14 year old like it's gospel just because it makes law enforcement look bad. You're a joke and I'm looking forward to your lawsuits.

        3… 2… 1… Movie theatres are commercial establishments, they have a right to protect their brand, so they can set the rules, if the police helps enforce those rules, more power to them… yadi yada

        It doesn't follow even from this sh**ty logic that that should precipitate an arrest. But police interactions, it appears, have their way to result in one.

        Got into it with the manager about his pants, was asked to leave, refused to leave, arrested for trespassing. Not hard.

        "got into it" as if the manager wasn't the aggressor for suddenly deciding he was mad about a child's clothing

        They have absolutly no legal ground to sue. You have adhear to any policy while on the ground of that privatley owned establishment. If you do not follow the rules, you can be removed even if you legally purchased a ticket. As soon as you refuse to leave its trespassing.

        He was arrested for trespassing after he refused to leave when the manager told him too. Nothing to do with his pants.

        He was told to leave because of the pants. And being black. Neither are grounds to be kicked out of a theatre after dropping $25 on ticket and concessions. He was literally on his way to sit in a dark room.

        Politely asking, if I bought a ticket for your establishment but you didn't like how I dressed. So you asked me to leave, and I don't. What and how would that be a means of calling the police?
