Q: Story highlights Robert Brown of HBO's "Treme" settles lawsuit against Macy's and New York 
  
 The actor says he was accused of credit card fraud while shopping 
  
 He had filed a class-action suit on behalf of others in the same situation 
  
 Actor Robert Brown has reached a "settlement in principle" in his racial profiling lawsuits against Macy's and New York, according to court documents and a statement from the retailer. 
  
 Brown, who appeared on the HBO series "Treme," made headlines last summer after he claimed that he was targeted because of his race while shopping at Macy's flagship store in Manhattan's Herald Square. 
  
 Papers filed in federal court Wednesday said Brown reached a settlement with both Macy's and the city of New York, whose police department he accused of targeting him because of his race. The settlement terms were not disclosed. 
  
 In a statement, Macy's Vice President of Media Relations Elina Kazan said the retailer had also settled various other lawsuits accusing the retailer of racial profiling. The statement did not identify the plaintiffs. 
  
 "The lawsuits by various plaintiffs who alleged racial profiling by Macy's have been settled in principle," the statement said. "Our company strictly prohibits discrimination of any kind and has zero tolerance for racial profiling. We value every customer who chooses to shop at Macy's, and we remain committed to ensuring that every individual who steps into our store feels welcome and appreciated." 
  
 After buying a $1,300 Movado watch for his mother, Brown was shopping for a pair of sunglasses for himself when he was stopped in the middle of the store by three men, whom he believed to be NYPD officers. They accused him of committing credit card fraud and detained him inside the store, according to court documents. 
  
 "They cuff me, parade me around the store, all the while maintaining, 'we do this all the time; it's a fake card; you're going to go to jail,' " Brown said in October, recounting the incident on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360." 
  
 Brown was the most notable of several people who said they were targeted after shopping at a New York department store because of race last year and the second to accuse Macy's of the practice. 
  
 Brown filed the class-action lawsuit on behalf of himself as well as similarly situated individuals of color, according to court documents. 
  
 Lawyers for Brown did not return calls seeking comment. ||||| Robert Brown, an actor on "Treme," had accused the store of racially profiling him when he bought a watch for his mother. 
  
 A black actor who accused Macy's of racially profiling blacks and Latinos as shoplifters is settling his civil rights lawsuit, one of several cases that drew attention last year to long-simmering complaints about how big retailers treat customers of color. 
  
 Rob Brown's case has been "settled in principle," Macy's Inc. said in a statement Friday; a federal judge also indicated in a filing Wednesday that an agreement was in the works. 
  
 Macy's wouldn't discuss the terms, saying only that it values every customer and remains "committed to ensuring that every individual who steps into our store feels welcome and appreciated." 
  
 Brown's lawyers, Douglas Wigdor and Nicholas Elefterakis, didn't immediately respond to inquiries. 
  
 Brown appears on the HBO drama series "Treme" and has acted in films such as "Coach Carter" and "Finding Forrester." He said he was falsely accused of credit card fraud at Macy's flagship store after buying a $1,300 watch for his mother for her college graduation in June 2013. 
  
 Before being released — without any charges — he was handcuffed, held for almost an hour in a store detention cell and grilled about the watch by men who mocked the idea that he could afford it, according to his court complaint. 
  
 NY AG Probes Profiling Complaints Against Barneys, Macy's 
  
 New York's attorney general is investigating allegations of racial profiling at Macy's and Barneys' flagship Manhattan locations after at least three black customers recently accused the stores and police of harassing them. Ida Siegal reports. (Published Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2013) 
  
 "I believe that I was profiled," Brown said last fall. 
  
 His lawsuit was among a series of complaints by black shoppers that spotlighted questions about security practices and profiling at Macy's and other major retailers in the city. Years earlier, Macy's had paid a $600,000 fine and promised changes after the state attorney general made similar claims. 
  
 The new allegations against the store immortalized in "Miracle on 34th Street" stirred outrage among civil rights advocates. 
  
 A Venezuelan tourist was accused — and acquitted — of shoplifting at Macy's after she said she was just carrying items around the store; her lawyer said she was detained for more than six hours as her 12-year-old son waited, not knowing where she was. In another case, prosecutors dropped charges against a Pakistani shopper who said she was unfairly profiled and falsely accused of stealing jewelry. 
  
 In December, Macy's and several other major retailers agreed to create and publicize a customer bill of rights that explicitly prohibits profiling and unreasonable searches. 
  
 Macy's said in its statement that it also had reached agreements to settle other racial profiling lawsuits. At least eight shoppers have filed such suits.

A:
One of the people who says he experienced racial profiling at Macy's just so happens to be an actor—and his lawsuit against the company, which made headlines last summer, has now been settled. Robert Brown, who appeared on HBO's Treme, said he bought a $1,300 watch at the Macy's flagship store in Manhattan, and was then shopping for sunglasses when he was stopped by three men he believed to be NYPD officers. They said he'd committed credit card fraud, Brown says. He was allegedly detained for nearly an hour before being released without being charged, NBC New York reports. "They cuff me, parade me around the store, all the while maintaining, 'we do this all the time; it's a fake card; you're going to go to jail,'" Brown explained to Anderson Cooper in October, according to CNN. He said the people who interrogated him in a store cell also scoffed at the idea that he could afford the watch. Brown ultimately sued not just Macy's but the city of New York, accusing the NYPD of targeting him because of his race; both lawsuits have been settled, though the terms were not disclosed. In a statement, Macy's said it has also settled other racial profiling lawsuits and that it has "zero tolerance for racial profiling." Brown's had been the second incident publicized, but was the most high-profile case.
