Family torn apart at movies?
A black family and friends of their children went to see the new Jurassic Park movie in West Philadelphia. The parents left the older kids in their seats while they went to ask the manager for a refund because of a recurrent loud beeping noise that made it impossible for them to enjoy the movie. The refund was given, but when the parents wanted to go retrieve the other children from the theater, trouble started. According to the parents, the manager told them they could not re-enter the theater. An argument ensued, and before you can say "wypipo" the cops were on the scene:
The manager provided the refund but said the Jimenezes could not reenter the theater, Ismael Jimenez said. The couple said they needed to get their children. The manager refused and, upon hearing they were going to get their kids, said he was calling the police, Jimenez said.

A Cinemark spokesman disputed Jimenez’s account and said that “at no time was the family restricted access to their children.”
Jimenez, a member of Black Lives Matter Philadelphia, said the first officer approached him while his wife went to retrieve the children. The officer, police said, had advised radio communications he was responding to a disturbance. But the officer did not answer when they tried to reach him again. That’s when the “assist officer” alert went out, police said.
Jimenez, however, said his encounter with the officer was not initially loud. He questioned why the officer couldn’t hear the radio.

Why is the fact that the father belongs to BLM relevant? Is he being painted as a troublemaker? (lifts jaw off floor)
