— Authorities are looking for a man who forced two employees at gunpoint to open the safe and hand over cash at a Dollar General in Little Rock.

Police say it happened about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday at the location at 9500 Satterfield Drive near Rodney Parham Road.

According to a report, the robber approached the two employees outside as they were leaving, pointed a gun at them and told them, "Don't be a hero."

Police say the man then forced the two inside, where he made them disarm the alarm system and open the safe. The latter was equipped with a 10-minute delay, so the gunman forced the employees to stay on the floor while waiting for it to open. When it did, he took an undisclosed amount of cash.

The robber is described as a black man about 5-foot-8 and in his early to mid-50s. He was wearing a black flat cap, a black leather coat, a black hoodie, black pants and white shoes.

No arrests have been made, and no injuries were reported.

It has to be said by someone, so here goes!
Black male about so tall and so heavy etc. Wearing "black" everything at night! This is a pattern that is every damn night!
To stop it....ban all black clothing when a black "hoodie" is being worn at night OR.....get your concealed carry permit, then a good gun and shoot the first black on black on black on black with black hoodie when you see that s.o.b. coming towards you! Don't wait until s.o.b. gets right upon you!
If "any ignorant jackass" dresses like that...ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT.....THEY ARE UP TO NO GOOD.....SHOOT TO KILL!!! This will stop that crap!!

Good grief, I've worn all black quite a few times. It's not a crime. Neither is being black and wearing all black. Many years ago, I lived next door to a black lady who favored black slacks and sweaters. She was a neighborly, church going woman.
Harley is a perfect example of why the more guns there are floating around, the more danger we all face. Harley's temper and prejudice will probably result in the death of an innocent person someday, because he's always spoiling for a chance to shoot. Then the NRA will make a hero of him.

The point is, nine out of ten armed robberies, car jackings, rapes are committed by black males.

NCNC, it has been my observation that a certain kind of person, when seeing a person of another race shown on the TV news after committing a crime always says "yep, another (fill in the blank)". Strangely, when the criminal is white, they never say "yep, another whitey."
This is ridiculous behavior. There are good and bad people of every color. It isn't the color that makes the difference.
Some of these people must be hypocrites, too. Have they never worked alongside a hardworking, respectable black person? If so, it should give them pause when they make these generalizations.
If HM2 is really a doctor, I wouldn't want to be black and be his patient.
