This week rapper T.I. called out Houston's restaurant in Atlanta for the second time this year after another racially charged incident saw three Black women battered by police and arrested [click here if you missed that].
Houston's releases a statement...
From Houston's
The evidence we have seen thus far shows that three women arrived approximately 30 minutes after closing time, they went into the restroom as a group after being told that the restaurant was closed. The three stayed in the restroom for more than 10 minutes, and refused to leave despite repeated requests from several managers to do so. Eventually, an off-duty Atlanta Police Officer was summoned with whom one or more of the women got into an altercation that led to arrests. Based on our current understanding, we believe our managers responded appropriately to this unfortunate situation.
