        and this person is entrusted to save people (including black people)? Behavior should disqualify him - logically...

        I raised six human beings.. and prided myself in raising beings who accepted all no matter what. I do not understand this evil. I just don't. My heart goes out to that family and I hope they survive this and get stronger.pic.twitter.com/RFso34IZF7

        Let me guess, he's a Trump supporter? But totally not a racist. Probably he felt threatened by that little child. Lucky he didn't shoot him, standing his ground and all. #VeryFineNazis

        You absolutely CANNOT continue to pay a public servant, or anyone paid for by tax dollars, when they display this kind of behavior.

        And then he'll proceed to kill a black person one day and get away with it just like the cop that told a black man he was going to kill him and did so!

        And that manager will probably just get a job at another restaurant and off we go again.
