Police Chief Apologizes To Men Arrested In Philadelphia Starbucks

Rashon Nelson and his business partner Donte Robinson were arrested for trespassing at a Philadelphia Starbucks on April 12. The arrest sparked furor around the U.S. over racial profiling. Nelson and Robinson were led away in handcuffs in a video recorded on a white customer’s cellphone. In the week since their arrests, the men have met with Starbucks’ apologetic CEO. On Thursday, they also got an apology from Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross.
