Guess who got handcuffed. |
A Black teenager's family is outraged over a police incident involving him and a white teen. The white teen allegedly bullied others and got into a fight with the Black teen.
This happened at Bridgewater Mall in New Jersey. Two kids get into a fight and the police show up. They pull the white kid to the side and proceed to handcuff and arrest the BLACK child only. This young man's name is Z’kye. He's just 14. He was kept in cuffs for 30 minutes, 😤. pic.twitter.com/GqUlMG7oqp

“It’s because he is Black. Racially motivated”

These teens got into an altercation at a NJ mall, but ONLY the Black teen was arrested! 1 ofc. sat the white teen down & allowed him to watch while the other ofc. tackled the Black teen — then they both handcuffed him! Their actions are clearly racially biased & unacceptable! pic.twitter.com/Iq3y62aSJV

After several seconds of punching, two uniformed officers with the Bridgewater Police Department ran onto the scene and pulled the two apart.
The Bridgewater Police Department addressed the incident Monday in a statement on its Facebook page.
Although an investigation is still gathering the facts about this incident, I’m deeply disturbed by what appears to be racially disparate treatment in this video. We’re committed to increasing trust between law enforcement and the people they serve. https://t.co/ck9yCXMmL0
