Arrested for Existing in Public: Library PROFILING Turns Into a Lawsuit — $3.8M Settlement

Описание: They arrested him in a public library… for reading. And the security cameras caught everything. What happens next exposes how fast “suspicious” becomes handcuffs—and how expensive bias can get. Library security footage captures a shocking moment at Seattle Central Library: Marcus Webb sits quietly with law books and a laptop—then Officer Daniel Reeves orders him out for “loitering,” threatens arrest, and escalates to handcuffs despite witnesses speaking up. Marcus refuses to fold, calmly states his rights, and turns a humiliating public arrest into a high-stakes showdown about racial profiling, probable cause, and what “public space” really means.

Stay to the end for the aftermath: the complaint history, the video evidence from multiple angles, and the lawsuit that forces real accountability—ending in a $3.8M settlement and career-ending consequences. What would you do in Marcus’s position—leave to stay safe, or stand your ground and document it? Drop your take in the comments.
