I don't get it, how does depositing a check become a police matter?
PS: It says cash first and deposit further down, I'm assuming deposit must be the correct part.
Edit: PPS. I know there is racism and this happens in USA, but the amount of amateur hour from the Banks procedure, to the people working there and the police responding to a non issue is mind numbing for a person coming from Denmark, where banks are run professionally, and the police almost is too.
Racist bank employees made it a police matter when they assumed he was passing a fraudulent check and called to have the guy arrested for being a negro in possession of money.
That's what makes matters so complicated to try to address - e.g. sometimes cops are racist themselves, directly, but other times they are not and yet still any race-blind application of "enforcement" is going to merely reinforce the racist policies of society.
"Sad:-("
Aka systemic racism, covered in Criticsl Race Theory, which racists don't want people to learn about.
In their "defense", they don't want people to learn much of anything, except obedience. :-(
