Chipotle Apologizes for Brooklyn Worker's "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" Gesture at Police 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The fast-food chain Chipotle has apologized to police officers after an
employee made a "hands up, don't shoot" gesture at officers who entered
a restaurant in Brooklyn, New York. Since the Michael Brown shooting in
Ferguson, Missouri, the hands-up gesture has become a symbol for police
killings of unarmed African Americans. Chipotle's CEOs said they had
taken "appropriate actions" against the employee.
