Dr. Phil - Pregnant in Handcuffs: Shopping Outrage or Innocent Mistake?

Seizoen: 12 - Aflevering: 63 / 1680 - Eerst uitgezonden: 05 december 2013 - Episode ID: 856202

Dr. Phil takes on the hot-button topic of racial profiling — is it a necessary safety measure? First, 22-year-old Kayla made headlines after she claimed that four undercover officers detained her outside a high-end department store in New York City and questioned her about a $2,500 handbag purchase. Was she targeted because of the color of her skin, or was it just a misunderstanding? Then, former child star Cherie Johnson and her actor boyfriend, Dennis White, say their romantic getaway to South Carolina turned into a nightmare when they were allegedly harassed and handcuffed by a police officer while taking pictures of a cotton field. Hear their story — and why they say the officer went too far. And, 28-year-old former minor league baseball player Robbie Tolan says his dreams of making the major leagues, like his father, Bobby Tolan, were ruined five years ago, after he was shot point-blank in the chest by a police officer who approached him in his parents’ driveway. Robbie — who still has a bullet lodged in his liver — believes he was racially profiled and says he will continue to fight for justice, despite losing two court battles against the police department. Why does Robbie say he was targeted? Plus, hear from experts on both sides of the debate. Tune in and decide where you stand on this controversial issue.
