Bad hair day for barbers

Raided by SWAT teams when suspected to be unlicensed , and guess what - "

All of the targeted barbershops were businesses that serviced primarily African-American and Hispanic clientele...


The sweep occurred as follows: Two plain clothes officers initially entered... several of the customers in the shop were children. Shortly after... a "whole bunch" of police cars pulled in... Officers then "rushed into" Strictly Skillz "like a SWAT team." ... Some donned masks and bulletproof vests and had their guns drawn"

Jesus, what ever happened to just walking in and talking to the owners?
