8:27Now PlayingA businessman from the United Arab Emirates was recently traveling in Cleveland, OH for a medical procedure when a hotel clerk was alarmed by his Muslim garb. She called the police, who swarmed the man with guns drawn. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"United Arab Emirates businessman Ahmed Al Menhali was in the United States last week for medical treatment.
Instead, police body camera footage shows him collapsing outside an Avon, Ohio, hotel, after officers charged at him with guns raised and handcuffed him.
They were responding to a false report that Al Menhali, dressed head-to-toe in traditional Arabian thobe, pledged allegiance to ISIS in a phone call from the Fairfield Inn & Suites lobby.
It quickly became an international incident.
"As soon as the facts became clear our officers apologized to Mr. Al Menhali and released him," Jensen said in the statement. "This was a very unfortunate incident and does not reflect our community. Avon is proud to welcome visitors from the United Arab Emirates and other countries who regularly come to Northern Ohio for tourism, business, medical care of education."
Al Menhali said he is grateful for the apology but it's not enough. He wants those responsible for the 911 call to be held accountable. And, he hopes the police department will use it as a teachable moment in cross-cultural encounters.”*
