Another sad example of the Police more concerned with Protecting themselves than Protecting and Serving the people they are supposed to serving. You'd think they'd at least learn Sampson isn't a threat therre by now.

I don't think they care if Sampson is a threat or not. The officers clearly know him, as he has been arrested by the same officer(s) multiple times. It's hard to pinpoint the exact motivation but I wouldn't be suprised if race was part of the issue. Saleh, an immigrant, has his patrons and workers removed from the store without cause. Maybe the officials in charge are trying to run Saleh out of business Maybe they wish to terrorize the working class residents until they move to another part of the city. Whatever the reason, the situation is intolerable.
