Eric André lawsuit over drug search at Atlanta airport revived by appeals court

A federal appeals court decided to reverse the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by comedians Eric André and Clayton English in 2022 in which they claim their Forth Amendment rights were violated. André and English alleged in their lawsuit that Clayton County officers stopped them in two separate incidents at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport while inside the jet bridge as they were about to board flights. The Black celebrities say they were told to hand over their boarding passes and IDs, and asked if they were carrying illegal drugs. The pair allege the officers violated their Fourth Amendment rights "to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures," according to the federal appellant court opinion published on Friday. They also claimed that the officers stopped them based on their race. Their lawsuit was eventually dismissed in 2023 by the district court, citing the plaintiff's "failure to plausibly allege any constitutional violations," and all defendants, including Clayton County and the police department's chief, were protected by immunity. But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit said in its opinion that it found that André and English "plausibly alleged that Clayton County subjected them to unreasonable searches and seizures" and reversed the dismissal "after careful review." The court affirmed the remainder of the district court's dismissal, which includes the celebrities' claim that they were stopped by the officers based on their race. The Clayton County Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. NBC News has reached out to representatives for André and English for comment. Two separate incidents, one year apart English was traveling from Atlanta to Los Angeles for work in 2020 when he says Clayton County officers stopped him on the jet bridge after he had cleared TSA security and a boarding pass check by a gate agent, according to his and André's 2022 lawsuit. "The officers flashed their badges and asked English whether he was carrying any illegal drugs," the lawsuit said. "English denied carrying illegal drugs. English 'understood that he was not free to leave and continue his travel while the officers were questioning him.'" Officers stood on either side of English, blocking his path to the plane, and asked him for his boarding pass and ID, which he handed over because he felt he had no choice but to comply, according to the lawsuit. An officer also asked to search English's carry-on, which he allowed them to do, "believing he had no choice." The officers let English go after checking his bag, per the lawsuit. "Throughout the encounter, Mr. English was worried that if he said anything the officers perceived as 'out of line,' he would not be allowed to board the plane or reach his destination," the lawsuit stated. In 2021, André was traveling from Charleston, South Carolina, to Atlanta before heading home to Los Angeles. He was stopped on the jet bridge while trying to board his flight in Atlanta. André was also stopped on the jet bridge after clearing multiple security points, according to the lawsuit. Officers also asked the comedian if he was carrying any illegal drugs, like cocaine or methamphetamine, which he denied, the lawsuit said. He was also allegedly asked to hand over his ID and boarding pass and complied, believing he could not refuse. "After approximately five minutes of standing in the narrow jet bridge and being questioned, Mr. André was told by the officers that he was free to leave and board the plane," according to the lawsuit. The stops were part of the Clayton County Police Department's "drug interdiction program," which aims to selectively stop passengers on the jet bridge before they board flights to ask them if they are carrying drugs and request to search their luggage. The department claims the stops are random and consensual. André and English claim that the stops are not random or consensual, and that the Clayton County police program specifically targets Black passengers and other passengers of color, according to the court opinion. There were 402 jet bridge stops from Aug. 30, 2020, to April 30, 2021, according to police records, and passengers' races were listed for 378 of those stops. Of those 378 passengers, 211, or 56%, were Black, and people of color accounted for 258 total stops, or 68%, the celebrities' lawsuit states, The Associated Press reported. André called the experience "dehumanizing and demoralizing." "People were gawking at me, and I looked suspicious when I had done nothing wrong," André said in an interview at the time of the lawsuit filing. The court's decision In its decision, the federal appeals court held that the complaint sufficiently alleged that the coercive nature of the defendants' actions during their stops of André and English made them feel that they were not free to leave, or that they were "seized" by the officers, meaning they plausibly alleged that their Fourth Amendment rights were violated. English "plausibly alleged that the officers stopped him and began asking questions without telling him he could leave until after they finished questioning him," the court said, adding that they came to the same conclusion with André. However, the court did not find that the comedians were able to plausibly allege that the officers were acting with discriminatory purpose when they stopped them, citing that André and English "do not allege that the individual defendants knew of any racially discriminatory complaint or saw the County's logs or that the County directed the individual defendants to single out Black passengers for interdictions." "For the foregoing reasons, we conclude that plaintiffs plausibly alleged that defendants violated their Fourth Amendment rights to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures," the court said. "The individual defendants are entitled to qualified immunity, but Clayton County is not. Accordingly, we reverse the dismissal of plaintiffs' Fourth Amendment claims against Clayton County. We affirm the dismissal of plaintiffs' remaining claims."

Morton welcome Rangers' Euro opponents to Cappielow ahead of Champions League tie

RANGERS Champions League foes geared up for their crunch tie at Ibrox by carrying out their final play-off preparations in Greenock. Just days after welcoming Jimmy Thelin's Scottish Cup Winners Aberdeen to Inverclyde, Morton officials welcomed Belgian giants Club Brugge to Cappielow ahead of Tuesday night's clash in Glasgow. Boss Nicky Hayen was quick to exchange pleasantries with club chairman John Laird and Director (Commercial) Sam Robinson before his side went through one last run out ahead of kick off in Govan. Former Liverpool and Belgium stopper Simon Mignolet took to the hallowed Sinclair Street turf alongside international teammate Hans Vanaken, positioned between Laird and Robinson, and English Premier League-linked stars Christos Tzolis, Raphael Onyedika and Joel Ordonez. The Bruges side geared up for the first of their two-legged clash against Russell Martin's side, with the winner sealing their place in this season's group stages of European football's elite competition. A club statement released on Tuesday afternoon said: "It was a pleasure to welcome to Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology this morning for some final preparation ahead of their Champions League play-off tie against Rangers..

It's a Forbidden Behavior in Today's Restaurants. These Chefs Say It Massively Improved Their Careers.

Contestants wearing sweatbands scurry around stovetops as a red-faced Gordon Ramsay barks out a fusillade of demands for duck, foie gras, and cabbage. When the vital lamb sauce arrives in an early episode of Hell's Kitchen, Ramsay thanks the delivering cook: 'Fuck off, you fat, useless sack of fucking Yankee-danky-doo shite.' Fortunately for Waco, Texas–based chef Alejandro Najar, Ramsay's most violent tantrums on the high-stress cooking contest appear slightly more controlled these days. By the time Najar arrived on set 19 seasons after that episode, in 2022, Ramsay reproved his undercooked—then overcooked—salmon with a comparatively mild order: 'Don't put your head down! Bounce back!' and a group chiding in a storage closet. While Hell's Kitchen is made for entertainment, along with other yelling-in-kitchen shows, like The Bear, a reform to healthier, real-life kitchen environments has been deservedly gaining momentum in the past 10 years. Once-favored media darlings including Abe Conlon, John Besh, and Barbara Lynch have lost empires in part over hostile work environments, belittling staff, and excessive yelling. Taken alone, though, yelling over the cacophony of hood vents, timers, and ticket machines when 30 lamb loins need to be cooked seems like a natural response. Yelling is rarely second-guessed in professions like emergency health care, coaching, or construction. In my years as an English teacher, I, too, yelled on the job. As I turned to food writing—and saw chefs taken down in the headlines for their hostile kitchens—I began to wonder about the feasibility and fairness of a no-screaming policy. It's a well-meaning aspiration. But is it really attainable when the heat is on? To come to an answer, it's first necessary to consider the experience of being yelled at, which is different for each screamee. For highly sensitive people, 'loud noises like yelling can trigger anxiety and impair concentration,' according to Gina Simmons Schneider, author of Frazzlebrain: Break Free From Anxiety, Anger, and Stress Using Advanced Discoveries in Neuropsychology. 'They [then] cannot perform complicated tasks well, and they don't thrive in those environments,' she says. Najar, on the other hand, believes he's better for being yelled at. 'When Gordon is yelling at you, it's to boost you up,' he says. 'It's an old-school mentality where yelling comes from telling you to get your shit together.' The chef says he's accustomed to high-stress kitchens where yelling is the norm, beginning with his first job cooking at his family's bar and grill in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, and later at a café where it felt normal to watch his ex-military boss throw sheet trays, pots, and pans. Another competitor on Season 21 of Hell's Kitchen, Alyssa Osinga, had too-raw lamb chunked in her direction by Ramsay on her last episode, but she says the experience wasn't nearly as traumatic as working for a well-known vegan chef. '100 percent, yelling has made me have a stronger backbone,' she says. 'Not everyone can take someone yelling at them, but I took the yelling and anger, and I used it to make me a better chef and leader.' At the Butcher's Cellar, a steakhouse Najar and Osinga now lead in Woodway, Texas, their evolved discipline system includes talking privately to employees who are making mistakes, along with giving three written warnings before you're out. In my high school teaching days, I had a similar three-step discipline plan. I was young and optimistic, and after three years of crying almost daily, I felt defeated when principals told me to stop sending misbehaving students to their office. I was in survival mode when, one day, a teacher in the classroom next door enlightened me: 'You have to adopt a me-or-you mentality,' she said. 'If you have to get in their face, yell. They have to understand you mean business.' By year four, I routinely sent disruptive students to the hallway for somewhat loud and confrontational verbal reprimands—and my life got better. I was able to teach. Once a mother came to the school and did the upbraiding for me after I'd called to let her know her son had told me to 'shut the fuck up.' His chewing-out came with expletives I couldn't professionally employ, and I did begin to feel bad about it, especially since I'd left the door open for the entire unruly class to hear. However, for the rest of the year, when it was time to learn, you could have heard a pin drop in my classroom—a miracle for a freshman English class at the last period of the day. Similarly, in the case of kitchen management, too-nice chefs get less respect, says Brent Weathers, a Dallas line cook. But he also doesn't enjoy toxic kitchens, like one 'tweezer-driven' restaurant where he says the entire line was cooking while on cocaine. For over 10 years, he's worked for a chef whose worst blowup included throwing foie gras at him. He's used to it, like other cooks. 'I don't punch or yell back because rent has to be paid,' he says, adding, 'Sometimes you have to be water.' And yet, he still views his boss as 'one of the kindest, most helpful, and considerate persons in the world'—who's not perfect. So what is the difference between a football coach, a basic-training officer, and a childish, foie gras–throwing chef? It comes down to consent, says Schneider. 'There are people who want their personal trainer to say, '10 more times!' It motivates them. And trash talk is a big part of sports—the psychological game of acting cocky and putting the other team down. They've all signed up for that,' she says. 'But somebody who takes a job in an office, or a kitchen, they're signing up to do a job and get a paycheck.' Which prompts the question: Do those who experience habitual yelling and bullying on the job have any legal recourse? Not unless the abuse can be directly linked to a protected class status, like sex or race or disability, says Suffolk University Law School professor and director of the New Workplace Institute David Yamada. 'The usual result of this type of mistreatment is that people just decide to leave,' he says. With 15 years of cooking experience, chef Ashley Flagg knows high turnover is directly linked to French brigade–style kitchens, which often use negative reinforcement as the only corrective tactic. In a move that mirrors Carmy's repentance in The Bear, she sought out therapy when it became clear her management style and interactions with co-workers could be healthier. Her turning point came after watching another chef humiliate a group of prep cooks for messing up a batch of chocolate chip cookies. 'To see those women, who were so talented, get dressed down over a calculation error, I couldn't take it—because I knew I had also treated people like that.' Now at her own restaurant, the Laurel, in Hartford, Connecticut, she works on identifying the emotions behind her anger when it bubbles up. She finds shows like The Bear depicting the pressure cooker of kitchens relatable. When hurdles snowball—an unexpected bill, a late delivery, a cook burns something—'Is the problem that the cook burned something?' she's learning to ask. 'The real emotion is stress, and you have to be able to recognize that.' And also remember: 'It's just cookies, for the love of god.' Solve the daily Crossword
