    Saks Fifth Avenue president quickly apologized, cos racial profiling? or celebrity privilege?

    Wizards GM got wrongly arrested by Saks & Miami PD for shoplifting. And then Saks execs realized the dude works for the NBA, and NBA has a wide audience. immediate DAMAGE CONTROL MODE! Everything done after this point is to avoid bad publicity - donation to three charities, retraining staff, etc according to the Wizards GM's suggestions.

    Sure that's all good, but what if the "racial profiling" happened to any of us? I'm not black, I got detained by police multiple times when it was obvious I wasn't the guy they're looking for. They were not nice to me. I was released after some investigation. It happens. What's next? I'm not an NBA GM who can get you on the ESPN frontpage:
