Teletubby 114,885 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 American R&B singer Ari Lennox was arrested at Amsterdam Schiphol airport on Monday for disturbing public order, Dutch military police said, after she had accused airline staff of racial discrimination. Dutch military police, who are responsible for security at Schiphol airport, said Lennox was held because of her aggressive behaviour towards an airline official, and for being drunk in public. "Our unit found a woman full of emotions, that wouldn't calm down," spokesman Robert van Kapel said. "That's why she had to be taken into custody." source Ari Lennox had accused "Amsterdam security" of hating Black people on her Twitter account. A KLM spokesperson confirmed Lennox was involved in “an argument that took place about checking her identity.” The airline said that the woman refused to show her proper documents. “When the employee confronted her about this, [Lennox] drew the wrong conclusions.” The military branch tasked with policing the airport said Lennox was arrested for her behavior, and for being intoxicated. “She refused to calm down,” a spokesperson said. “Her management has since apologized to us,” KLM stated. The airline claimed Lennox was going to release another statement about the incident. Record company Universal Music added: “Ari Lennox’s management apologises for her behaviour. She can’t do that herself, as she’s still in custody. But later tonight she will also make a statement.” source source source i'm just a baby and @Juanlittlem is my ❀*·ꕤ. ☁️eternal enemy🌩️。˚❀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these not crimes? Usually the rules for behavior in airports are A LOT more strict than out in the public. buy bionic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And especially not in a plane or an airport They are specific places where rules HAVE to be 10 times harder than usual because or terrorism and because even the smallest thing can cause a huge drama and for good reasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably the most heavily policed place in the country. And drug legislation is a whole other thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc 4,772 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 It's possible though, discrimination for security checke based on 'risk factors' including ethnicity is the official policy of our military police (https://www.rtlnieuws.nl/nieuws/nederland/artikel/5255713/rechtbank-uitspraak-etnisch-profileren-marechaussee-amnesty).
