[ProfD]

Police allow their racism to rear up in response to a fight between a black and white teenager:

When separating them, one police officer escorted the white teen to a couch to cool off. He was allowed to go home. Turns out he was the bully and instigator. 

 

Three police officers left the black teen on the ground with a knee in his back and placed him in handcuffs. He was taken to a security holding area. Turns out he was the hero in standing up for another kid who was being bullied. 

 

NJ governor has already admitted the police showed racially  disparate treatment. The state prosecutor is reviewing video.

 

Of course, Ben Crump is in NJ huddled up with the family.

There are three sides to every story.   Then, there is video. 

 

It's amazing that folks are still willing to commit crimes and treat each other horribly when there are cameras everywhere.

The video isn't the one who could end up in jail. In a court of law, it's the prosecution vs. the defendant. In the real world of this case, it's frequently 1) what happened before the video captured the incident and 2) when the video captured the incident.

In this case, nobody will end up in jail. But,  the Bridgewater police department will end up in court. Their race soldiers just made a teenager a millionaire.
