A social media post alleging a young man was racially profiled and beaten by police at his Fayette County home is going viral on Facebook.

It all unfolded over the weekend in Oakland when police say they were trying to conduct a traffic stop.

WREG obtained an affidavit for the incident from the Fayette County General Sessions Court.

Oakland Police said on Saturday around 7:30 p.m., 25-year-old Brandon Calloway failed to stop at a stop sign and drove 32 mph in a 20 mph zone.

Officers said when they tried to pull him over, he refused to stop and instead drove half a mile to his home and “started running into the house reaching into his pockets… yelling “this is my expletive house and I did stop for the stop sign.”

His attorney Andre Wharton is disputing the allegations.

“It was as if this was a retaliatory vindictive response to a situation that just got out of hand,” Wharton said.

According to police, they had to kick in the door to gain entry to the house and eventually had to tase and use a baton to bring Calloway into custody.

Wharton said Calloway is a college grad and entrepreneur who was completing a DoorDash order and unarmed during what he calls an animalistic assault.

“Nothing unlawful about doing a DoorDash in a nice vehicle,” he said. “This happened in a very short time period but obviously for Brandon, it seemed like an eternity when you have batons and tasers in your face and you’re wondering why am I being beaten.”

Oakland Police said Calloway was taken into custody after he was cleared for his injuries.

The incident was captured on the officer’s body cameras along with an officer’s car camera.
Calloway and his family took a stand Tuesday against the actions of the police department calling what happened unjustified. His family became emotional as Wharton compared a portion of the video to the death of George Floyd.

Wharton said this is police brutality and they want the officers responsible to be held accountable while his client is recovering from a beating that left him with stitches in his head and limited visibility.

“Brandon was assaulted in a brutal fashion. I describe it as animalistic. The pictures are horrific. He’s fortunate to be here to stand up and express through his presence here he wants to see some accountability,” Wharton said. “Definitely would support some form of punishment up to termination. What Oakland sees is sufficient. Its going to be up to them to send a message that says we don’t condone this “
Shelby County Commissioner and NAACP President Van Truner said police response to people of color needs to improve nationally.

“Take our young black men into custody like you take other folks into custody, without one scratch, without harm and let them have their day in court,” Turner said.

Wharton is calling for all agencies to release any footage to the public.

Calloway is charged with evading arrest, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and speeding.

The Oakland Police Department told WREG they could not comment on a pending case.

But a white mass shooter would be treated with kids glove while a traffic offender is being tased in the face, it's sickening tbh

Reason why I tell lotta folks travelling abroad is and would never be an achievement, you'd always be a 3rd class citizen and that's after the Chinese and Hispanics have claimed the 2nd

At the mention of police everything is curse...

Omoh!!!

You would be surprised with the High Level of Hate these Black Americans have for Africans,These Lost People don't like to be Called Africans because they feel they are somewhat better than us,They Complain That we take all their Jobs,deny them access to Grants and call Us Filthy.

These Lost People Don't like Africans because they feel we sold them into Slavery,if you don't believe me download the Club House App and hear for your self's.

So Now When ever I see the Police treating them like Shit,I really don't have any sympathy for them.

The United Snakes of Amerikastan will soon implode.

The “Amerikan Dream” sold to the world has always been a mirage marketed & dangled by the Mainstream Media (especially Hollywood) in order to lure “Afrikan Gullible Slaves” to come over voluntarily and continue the labour of their ancestors servitude.

They won't do that to any of the numerous active white shooters.

The idiots all cowered like the cowards they are at the elementary school shooting scene at Uvalde.

American version of SARS. Last last Yankee don cast, being black in the US is a big crime.

Dress like a gangster Act like a gangster Talk like a gangster, just don't complain when you're treated like one

Officers said when they tried to pull him over, he refused to stop and instead drove half a mile to his home and “started running into the house reaching into his pockets… yelling “this is my expletive house and I did stop for the stop sign.”

Police's side of the story.

Wharton said Calloway is a college grad and

entrepreneur who was completing a DoorDash order and unarmed during what he calls an animalistic assault.

Victim side of the story.


There are 3 sides to every story,
His side,
Her side,
AND,
The truth.


All being said : SAY NO TO RACISM.
We believe the cops will do the same thing if he happens to be white tho'....
Our cent!

We Rise.

If true, and the man innocent, the police seem to be mentally unstable then...

Food don ready for mainstream media.

Racism will never die in the United States. However I respect the freedom fighters who made their grievances known and forced the government to recognize blacks as human beings. They are in their late eighties now and remain the reason black people and whites can sit together in ceremonies as fellow human beings. If you’re racist, na for your pocket. The mindset is on the decline as it has little reason to exist in the modern day.

Black lives matter

I hate the fuckin cops

Any Nairalander that speaks against this act deserves to be beheaded. There is more tribalism in Nigeria than there is racism in USA.

This I have seen.
