About a hundred feet from where they shot that guy last week, I saw cops standing around with a handcuffed Black guy. So I sat myself down at the nearby bus stop, sent an explanatory text to my partner, and got my phone ready to record.
Definitely seven, maybe eight cops for one dude? Who wasn't even resisting? Like... that's messed up. I know it's messed up, and you all know it's messed up, and that dude knew it was messed up, and the cops maybe knew it was messed up too.
They let him go about fifteen minutes later, physically he looked fine, thankfully.
I've had this panicky, about-to-have-a-heart-attack feeling for like an hour now. And I mean, my risk, as a pale skinny person, was very low. IDEK what that guy must've felt like.
