Black cop is accused of trafficking his white wife while flying to their honeymoon destination Exclusive: American Airlines has “a pattern and practice” of profiling racial minorities, according to a bombshell lawsuit filed by newlyweds Anthony Williams and Katsiaryna Shasholka.
A retired police officer headed to Florida for his honeymoon was falsely accused of human trafficking by a traveler who spotted the man, who is Black, with his new wife, who is white, and believed he was witnessing a crime in progress, according to a bombshell federal lawsuit obtained by The Independent.
Nevertheless, crewmembers took the passenger at his word and — without doing any of their own due diligence — told law enforcement that Williams was trafficking his own wife, according to the complaint.
He “had no reason to believe… Shasholka was in any danger,” the complaint goes on, which includes a selfie the happy couple took during the flight of themselves smiling and enjoying themselves.
