suspicious mustache

Your video is very enlightening. I have a sponsor who is not my family member but because of my business dealing with him he wants to sponsor me, how should I go about it. Secondly, his bank statement highest deposit is around Ghc 60000 but one of his clients paid him Ghc 1 million, is this statement suspicious?

The definition of a canadain is an american without a gun and public health care... otherwise it is hard to tell the difference.... Canada has almost 9 months of winter and 3 months of bad skating... The province of Quebec which is still part of canada (don't tell them that) has the language police to be as anti-american and any democratic as possible, they only tolerate english if it is in US$ and tax other taxes with the most expensive bloated government of any state north of Mexico. The cartels are envious... all things purchased are imported (except animals and greenhouse tomatoes)are american with the exchange rate of almost 33%... If you are a doctor or nurse or medical specialist trained in western medicine like Europe, Australia, etc. You almost have to start over.... SAD. Like América, big cars/trucks are king, public transit is not a thing... yeh there are some buses in a few major cities, more of an after thought... The only positive thing about coming from another country climate is you have something to compare with.... Personally i was born here so where do i go... A few friends have travelled to the US but have not returned... its warmer in Texas i guess... Canadians are suspicious of Asians because they come with money and buy up property esp in Vancouver/Toronto hence the concern... As for you making friends, you seem to be very Americanized, speak English well and not so traditional except for being married... you would make a lot of people comfortable among traditional Canadians... just my after thoughts...

His moustache is little suspicious ?

Isn't a little suspicious that every time there is a war the global elite talk about where should the refugees go instead talking about how to end the need for them to leave? It's like they insist in keeping the supply of refugees unchecked.

Mobs of “protestors” like the recent group in Vancouver that actually attacked employees Of a company the mob thought was Jewish. are making people suspicious and fed up.

The immigration thing that you said is not valid , Canadian government doesn’t allow PR Twice to the spouse of Native & doing that is also not possible as it becomes suspicious henceforth. Secondly The main route of immigration and settlements is Contractual marriages and Mexico border which is called as Donkey Route in Panjab , N no of people enter United states and Canada Via Mexico border and then Buffalo Milwaukee Border . These are mostly Indian and Pakistani Panjabis and refugees of Arab countries . And The Ghadar Party was one of its Kind , and it played the very Mammoth role in liberation of country by Raising Stars Like Bhagat Singh, Kartar Singh Sarabha , Udham Singh and Lala Lajpat Rai.

Here is a small list of other suspicious characters ????‍♂????‍???‍?\nIf you see them call Scruff McGruff, the crime dog, to take a BITE outta crime!

Super suspicious ???????

Why was he left so behind??? the way he ran was suspicious???

He should not be running up like that… looks like suspicious activity towards the president.

Alternate title:\nWhy Canadians are becoming poorer every day compared to Americans\n\nThe American system is broken from the perspective of an immigrant, but it is great from the perspective of Americans - they get higher salaries, cheaper labour through illegal immigration for bad jobs, which means even more purchasing power for them.\n\nIn addition, I'm strongly suspicious of the poll you showed about support for immigration, when decreasing immigration figures is polled as a primary interest for over 50% of people now, it's true that the main political parties are pro-immigration, but that's because the companies getting rich off of the back of Canadians both new and old support it because they can pay less for labour and demand more in household rent.

He seems suspicious ? at best

He sounds suspiciously like Randy Feltface nearing the end of the questioning

When anybody sees suspicious activity film it because that's the proof of what chaos these short brown people are trying to create I mean give me a break that's not normal we shouldn't have to go out there and face that crap we should be able to walk out our door feel free to go anywhere without having to look over our shoulder with anybody following us I can never do that

Ever wonder, \nwhy the Immigration Department has not made any or some adjustments to immigration entry ? \n\n? Super suspicious ?

This is when you load up a mini gun with rubber bullets and pepper balls. Just unload on them. From a helicopter if necessary. But I’m suspicious that this is a distraction for a large drug shipment or something along those lines.

They want to send the men Illegal aliens to a military bases, it doesn't sound suspicious. ?

In the uk we get boatloads of just men. not suspicious at all.

The unites states is very dangerous place to live, all big cities are dangerous, everyone definitely has a gun, and they should. Everyone hates each other, you cannot trust anyone, everyone is going want something from you. Stay out!, people very aggressive, people are very suspicious of one another, it’s a total mental illness.

There is a way to get our things done . You should show some respect to a person who is working. You should have not used your phone that’s makes him angry coz you are not allowed to that . If I would be on his place and for no reason you start shooting video of me working that’s makes me suspicious and I will not allow you to do that so I will ask you to leave .

Honestly it looks like a knife and with all the killing happening in schools anything looking that suspicious shouldn't be brought on to a school compound!

In future, he should carry a gun to avoid being suspicious to police

Giving donations to someone who cover their face is suspicious. I dont blame them

This is mostly true for the caucasian people you won't see them out on their front yards, they are on the back yard, not the black people in America,and he didn't tell you if he's in a caucasian neighborhood he could be killed walking around the neighborhood, they don't like for people walking around videotaping, they are very suspicious of black people period, so if you come to America, know your area, you're black get with black unless a caucasian family has invited you to live with them.

We need more black owner businesses and document what customers he/she is more concerned/ suspicious about.

A compelling documentary, thank you. Why is it that black people continue to be so demonised and de-humanised? It is such a shame that follow Asians and even American Natives play such a role in perpetuating racism against African descent people, but I guess they have their issues of identity. Real shame nonetheless, but one thing at the time, we still have a bigger hurdle to overcome.\n \nOf course, it is still not easy to be a black woman, man or child today. Sadly our mothers are still crying for their children being killed or overly punished by the police institution, our kids are still targeted if not simply despised for being beautiful, bright, talented, lively and brilliant beings with deeper skin tonalities, and hair that speaks for us otherwise. It is still dangerous because there is so much hatred across the world against us as we are coming to understand. And hatred is unpredictable. It comes in different ugly shapes. \n\nAfrican descent people are institutionally exposed to a lack of opportunities based on race, leading to the disproportionate poverty levels in our communities, and poverty brings your far closer to crime. That should not be so difficult to calculate. We're faced with higher mortality and disease rates, covid 19 has rubbed that to our eyes, care systems medical world is in less favour and neglect black communities. On a day-to-day, I am so insulted about the security guard that follows me in the shop, it is so disrespectful and embarrassing, that makes me move suspiciously indeed, yet so low and ignorant I don't even want to have to confront the issue. \n\nI agree with the writer who writes about his experience (and shame?) of being a black man in Canada- the same is institutionally reflected in Europe and across the world let's not be naive, we're not welcome but they should know they have no choice. I believe what he really is trying to express is based on the fear of being a black man in a hostile environment, but we should certainly have nothing to be ashamed of. \n\nOn contrary, we should be very proud because we are still here, like any other citizens paying our taxes and playing positive roles in society by major. We have positive role models are everywhere, from the single mother raising her children with force and determination to the black father who teaches at a local school, from the black girl who's achieved top grades to university to the black young man who's been headhunted from the medical school. And all of us who are just trying. \n\nLook closely. While the media will continue to do its good job demonising and stereotyping us negatively, let's not forget that we are real people with real accomplishments who have always made impactful contributions to society. \n\nHere's the thing, we are admired, loved and celebrated because of the brilliance, talent, charisma, swag and wealth we bring to contemporary culture. Everyone consumes black culture, from the filler lip service to the quick fix tan, from rock and roll to hip hop and RnB music, to sports athletes to the amazing creators out there, no need to mention names. But, we also are doctors, politicians, judges nurses, waiters, carers, scientists, builders, bankers, entrepreneurs, employees or unemployed. \n\nSadly on a day-to-day, we are not viewed as equal people, with equal rights and needs, who, by large, just want the good for our children, our families, neighbours and indeed countries. STOP INSTITUTIONAL RACISM. We are real mothers, real fathers, real children who have a birthright to equal treatment, respect and human dignity, whether or not you choose to disagree.

I feel bad for Leeland getting followed by multiple people for not even doing anything suspicious

People like this are actually a big problème because they clog the asylum process with false claims and also make people suspicious of asylum seekers.

At Radio they talked about: \nWhy people are more suspicious to non White people ? — They said it was because Statistics shows that more Non White are involve in Criminality.

Sorry but I would be a little suspicious of any guy with bags and backpacks but it’s the ladies who take the CAKE!! can’t see the forest !!! Women and their purses!!

I can totally relate to people who aren't white. As a transgender woman I am almost always seen as suspicious. I've been homeless because very few people will rent to me. The irony: I'm a licensed, clinical psychologist. ;-) \n\nRacism, transphobia, homophobia, Islamophobia, Xenophobia, they all exist here in Canada.

I did not like Regina Shoppers Drug Mart test with Leeland. Any dude with a black backpack and empty black bag in the makeup section would look suspicious.

I’m not saying this stuff doesn’t happen in real life because it absolutely does, but these scenarios and situations they are putting these people in are HIGHLY suspicious. They indigenous man was looking so suspicious in the store, just lingering around in areas of the store that he doesn’t belong in. What is he doing hanging out in the cosmetic isle and starring at diapers. Come on.

There's cases in this episode where they assumed racism without proof like the Best Buy for example. I used to work at Best Buy for a Co-Op placement in highschool and shoplifting was a big issue for them, it became best practice at one point to just approach customers of any race and ask them what they need. You also have to realize that it's an electronics store, you're there to buy something specific or look for something in particular.. It's very suspicious to be browsing around for 15 minutes unless you're in a game or movie section. Shoplifters usually stall before attempting a theft and usually do buy one or two things as to not arouse suspicion.

Of course you guys are acting suspicious. No carts, bags only. Regarding the rent prices, it's probably different because there are so many people interested in renting.

By virtue of what they were asked to do they would look suspicious, spend 15 mins, walking aimlessly through the store, up and down at random stuff. Store security is trained to spot strange stuff happening and it’s highly probably that the action of go in, look normal, for 15 mins made them look suspicious.

Is it wrong to be more suspicious of people who fit the description of a group that disproportionately commits far more crimes?

It isn't racism, he genuinely looks suspicious when he's stalking isles and not picking anything up with any intention to buy. Give me a break!!

Anyway I could get followed around the store by an associate if you're walking around with no car and a coffee cup in your hand and not shopping just strolling around the store suspiciously

to be honest I do get the Nikhab ( full face covering )getting negative attention , 80 % of communication is non verbal and based on reading micro expressions , the full face covering eliminates this and makes people feel insecure and suspicious of people denying accesses to reading body and face language .. its encoded in us

I worked at a grocery store. Lost count of how many times I had customers 'warn' me about 'suspicious' customers that were almost always young native men. It's ridiculous.

The best way to deter shoplifting from any suspicious-looking individual is great customer service.

Two years ago at shoppers drug Mart at Victoria Park and Danforth in Toronto about 7:30 in the evening. I was stopped leaving the store the one security guard grabbed my arm my car was in plain view in wheelchair parking my son was in the car. They insisted I go back into the store to be searched I did not comply. At that time I was 62 years old and wearing about $30,000 in jewellery.I am seven generations Canadian on the black side and three generations Canadian on the White. I have been followed countless times in liquor stores department stores etc. On three occasions I have been followed around wearing my casino manager government identification. I do believe we all do profiling however not on colour of skin, but on how someone is dressed and suspicious action's. Only with bringing attention to this matter will it improve.

The white guy they used in these test is a lot more socialable looking than I am and I am sure I would get the same treated I am even being white.\nI also worked for best buy and was told to ask people if there was something I could help them with if they look suspicious and standing in one place by a shelf is just one of those things. That is just common practice.

@the 22 mark,listen heres the 411, When you go into a shop to actually shop, you act and look different. He had tells that he was not shopping, so they were suspicious. in 50 years I've only ONCE had a security guard actually follow me in a best buy, and it was actually because of the type of coat I was wearing, if you fit a specific group or look a certain way, THIS DOES HAPPEN... OMG there is actually real racism out there, the shops is not one of them

Suspicious indeed. Dispicable.
