While driving home last week, I observed a five young Black teens handcuffed sitting on a street corner with their car doors open and paint ball guns on the roof of the car, there were 5 police cars and numerous police officers at the scene
It was an ugly spectacle , I get out of my car with my phone and start talking pictures a police officer confronts me and tells me stay back
I told him , I am back far enough and next I am going to take names and badge numbers because this is over kill
I demanded to see the officer in charge soon the captain came by and I told him this was really overkill for teens with water/paint guns !
The police captain told me he stopped the car when he saw the paint guns hanging outside the car window
I told him that may have been appropriate but the overkill was not!!
I convinced him to release the teens and let me talk with them. I did just that with a lot of profane words!
Frequently RACE defines how the police react White teens are adolescents and Black teens are delinquents
The outcome to often for Black teens is shit like this overaction
