A black man is sitting on his mom’s porch not bothering anyone.
Someone calls the police, because black men aren’t allowed to sit on porches. The cops come and the man very calmly tells them it is his mom’s house, shows them ID with the address on it and calls someone to ask them to come over because police is harassing him.
He gets beat up and handcuffed for his troubles.
The most astounding part of the video is the female officer at the end telling him to “be like an adult” when he was just harassed and brutalized by a cop for doing absolutely nothing. The cop Travis Cole resigned and wasn’t charged for any crime.
Funny how that works.
