Clerks Rip Clothes off Shoplifting Suspect in NYC
NEW YORK October 20, 2012 (AP)

A worker at a 7-Eleven in Brooklyn has lost his job after a group of employees were recorded ripping the clothes off a suspected shoplifter.

It begins with two clerks dragging the man back into the store and continues as they wrestle him into submission.

In the process, his shirt is ripped off, his pants fall down and he is left struggling in his boxers.

Through it all, the man shouts "I got nothing, man!"

A lot of people automatically assume all black men in a store are thieves.
