Being a locksmith while black

Quote:

Filmed from the locksmith’s perspective, the first video shows him explaining to a group of police officers that he and his co-worker have a work order to change the locks on a house. The police seem doubtful, with one officer circling them while holding an assault rifle, telling the TikToker to stop filming their conversation. “We’re here for a complaint, that’s all,” says the officer holding the rifle. One of the other officers has also drawn his weapon, holding it as if he’s responding to a threat. The house itself appears to be unoccupied, with a realtor’s sign posted outside. Meanwhile the locksmiths are standing with their tools on the doorstep.
