A white US Army officer who was filmed harassing a Black man for taking a walk in his neighbourhood in Columbia, South Carolina, has been charged with third-degree assault and battery, according to the Richland County Sheriff's Department.

Jonathan Pentland, a 42-year-old sergeant first class assigned to Fort Jackson, was arrested at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday and was booked at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center. If found guilty, Pentland faces a $500 fine and 30 days in jail.

"The first time I saw the video, it was terrible," Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said at a press conference Wednesday evening. "It was unnecessary. It was a bad video -- young man was the victim, the individual that was arrested was the aggressor, and he's been dealt with accordingly."

The incident took place on Monday April 12, officials said. Police were called and responded to the neighborhood at the time.

In the video, Jonathan and his family were seen harassing and threatening a young black man, named Deandre, who explained he was just taking a walk in the neighbourhood in Columbia, South Carolina.

Pentland, 42, shoves the victim as he yells at him: "You better start walking right now. You're in the wrong neighborhood, m-----f-----. Get out!"

The victim protests, saying he did nothing wrong, and is followed by the suspect who continues berating him.

"The leaders at Fort Jackson in no way condone the behavior depicted in the video posted recently," Brig. Gen. Milford Beagle Jr., Fort Jackson's commander, said in a statement. "This action deeply impacts our community -- the neighbors in the Summit, the city of Columbia, Richland & Lexington counties, and our Army family."

"I ask that our communities and leaders exercise a degree of patience, affording Sherriff Lott and law enforcement investigators to account for the full measure of events before, during, and after the incident that was recorded," the statement added.

According to the sheriff's department, the victim "approached several neighbors in a threatening manner and the confrontation escalated after a neighbor asked Pentland to intervene."

This is bad but most Africans have bastardized the good ones..
If you know what these whites go through in the hands of scammers, some died, some became homeless, some in jail and some handicapped because they were scammed..
These scammed people have families too so imagine what goes through their minds anytime they see a black man..

But sincerely, the world should have gone past racism

Speak for yourself.

I'm black and I don't hate other blacks.

Dark skin is a BLESSING from the Almighty, and is caused by a high concentration of the chemical MELANIN, which is an angelic substance designed to shield God's children from the sun rays in the world's hottest continent.

If Africans had white skin, they would have been extinct thousands of years ago, and you wouldn't be around today.

White people never settled in West and Central Africa for a reason. The tropical sun is dangerous to their non MELANIN skin, and leads to countless terrible skin diseases.

So every day you wake up, THANK YOUR MAKER, who in his INFINITE WISDOM, designed your body with that beautiful skin for your protection.

Nigerians in the US don't even say good things about African Americans. While there are exceptions, most of them think differently and have awkward behaviors.

The treatment they get transcends racism. It's a good thing that the US is making effort to protect all its citizens, including African Americans.

The African continent needs a culling. A complete removal of people who thinks like this. We will all be better off.

They always cut the video short to make it seem like the white dude was wrong.

Americas blacks are slowly getting more privilege and overtaking the whites in their own country all thanks to jews.

The funny thing is that the white man had been begging the black man to simply walk away, but his small brain kept him there still trying to proccess what them white man is telling him. He is then puzzled as to why the white man had to use violent means in order to send him away.

Of course useless protest will begin afterwards.
