I stand in solidarity with Bishop Barber! The staff of AMC is a disgrace. The police were worse. They should have come in, assessed the situation and apologized to Bishop and then told the staff to never call them for such ignorance! The AMC staff should have been removed! It's a shame that this kind of treatment continues to happen. Did they give Bishop his money back? Thank you Bishop for standing up and for putting this horrible experience out there for the world to see. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE! We all have to learn how to treat all people with respect. We need to listen to people. We need to stop judging others. When will the madness stop?!

Rev. Barber said that he has meetings with both the police chief and the CEO of AMC theaters, separately. He said his goal in meeting with the police chief is to develop policies in which the police refuse to do the bidding of people when it is against ADA law. So, yes, what you're saying is exactly what Rev. Barber intends to achieve. And then, with the CEO, to enact policies, trainings, etc to ensure that none of the 10,000 theaters would ever violate ADA law again. And I would add, if those managers were power tripping on Rev Barber as they clearly were, then how much more horrible are they to regular customers? This I believe will break open a whole new chapter in equality. (And I think those particular managers should be fired because in my experience people that deeply ingrained as power abusers should never be trusted with power again-- they won't stop, just find new ways to do it on the sly.)

Yes there are many people who are suffering from all kind of disability and yet they are denied benefits from our Government. We're going down hill fast, no one has a heart to care for one another until it happened to them or their family's. Yes Rev. Barber i know what you're going through, been there and has seen tremendous of people going through the battle of being in pain. We should come together and acknowledge all of our people that are suffering and going through this ordeal, I'm worry about our people that choose money over people instead of love.

Pathetic behavior on the part of the theater employees. Unacceptable on every level.

Thank you for sharing your story, Rev. Barber. God bless you for being the voice to the voiceless.

Love you Rev. I know your pain ..Keep on preaching

Well stated dear friend. Remember or seek the biblical scripture Proverbs 12:15...."A wise man is he who seeks wisdom. A fool thinks that his ways are right". I have to 'remember this' myself when I reflect on the reason for the worse in human character!!

ADA! The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in everyday activities. The ADA prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability just as other civil rights laws prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. The ADA guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else to enjoy employment opportunities, purchase goods and services, and participate in state and local government programs.

Bishop,I stand with you whole-heartedly! This is something close to my heart. I too had a disabled young son in a wheelchair,and before his passing going to the AMC movie theaters here in the Detroit Metro areas was his absolute favorite thing to do. I have had my fair share of challenges with this very same subject matter..God Bless you,Bishop!

I stand with you Bishop Barbara. I took, am disabled and often feel like I have to apologize for it. I use public transportation and the looks I get make me feel bad. Thank You for speaking up for us. It's not easy trying to get around and to have get daily is quite a challenge and those who are able bodied may never know and I hope they don't. Again, Thank You Sir.🙏❤️🙏😘
