US Police Breaks Car Window, Drags A Black Man Out, Finds Out He's Innocent by Chinekepikin: 2:05pm On May 08, 2019

"This is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS

St.Ann Police officers in Missouri broke a passenger side window, dragged an innocent black man out of it and arrested him only to find out later that THEY ARRESTED THE WRONG PERSON

THIS IS WHY WE KNEEL

Demand JUSTICE RT".

According to report, The Police in St. Louis County, MO are apologizing for beating up and handcuffing a 22-year-old student who they mistook for a suspect in a car chase

Thursday afternoon. But the college junior, Joseph Swink, has been left with severe damage to his ear and a totaled car, according to KMOV St. Louis.

Swink reportedly crashed his car when he was trying to get out of the way of a police chase. When the car started filling with smoke, he ran away, prompting police to come after him thinking he was the suspect they were chasing. Photographs show Swink’s face brutally beaten and bloodied after his encounter with the cops.

According to St. Ann Police Chief Aaron Jimenez, “All the sirens and lights were going off. It was very loud and they couldn’t hear anything the citizen was saying.” Eventually, they got a radio call saying the real suspect was in custody.

While the St. Ann Police Department is apologizing, they say the mistaken identity has “zero to do about race.” Swink feels differently, telling Fox 2 News he feared for his life. “There was nobody black on the scene, just a lot of white cops. I didn’t feel safe around them,” he said. “I think they probably felt they could get away with it because I was and they can do this.”

He had reason to be afraid. Young black men like Swink are 21 times more likely to be shot by police than white men, often because police use vague racial profiles that make every black man a potential threat.

It could have been worse if the officers had not gotten the radio call when they did. The now infamous police in nearby Ferguson, MO mistakenly arrested one man in 2009, beat him, and then charged him with destruction of property for getting his blood on their uniforms.

Swink had no criminal record and is studying accounting in school. His grandmother told Fox 2, “This is all we ask of our young men, to do the right thing, become productive citizens in this country and he’s not being given that opportunity because someone has mistaken him for a criminal and that upsets me very much.”

If you don't like the injustice, go back to your country, build it and fight aginst bad government that tries to destroy not crying online for juatice that u may never get as a visitor

After the war, Germany, Britain, Russia, and other world power didn't sit down and looked while USA carried the glory of the country with the most deadly weapon but rather they worked hard to produce their own to prevent intemidation. Until Africans and her government stop crying and start working, we will keep being pushed around like dogs

That was too harsh from the cops. They should stop this selective treatment in USA in regards to race, things like this fuels anarchy and racism on both sides.

Do you even understand history?

Are all black people in America wilful immigrants?

Are the whites of America the aborigines?

Rascim is still very much in existence...
But then again.. Take a look at the type of treatment sarz operatives dish out to our youths and you'll wonder which is better, living in Nigeria with hooligans without regard for the law or staying in a developed country where your skin color makes you a target..
