A video going viral on social media amid widespread racial inequality protests in the U.S. carries a caption in many posts that claims it shows a black man who is actually an FBI agent being arrested. The video dates from 2019 and the man in the video is not an FBI agent.
Examples of the social media posts can be seen here and here . The posts feature a video of a black man wearing a red t-shirt getting handcuffed by two white police officers. The man questions the actions of the police throughout (here). A second clip appears to show the moments leading up to the handcuffing, with the same man saying again, “you’re assuming I’m someone I’m not” and claiming the officers are racially profiling him in a case of mistaken identity. In neither video are there audible conclusions or details revealed about the man’s profession. The officers look at the man’s ID inside his wallet during the video.

Still quite disgusting. They set him down on the chair and are all pointlessly aggressive. THEY initiate anything physical. All they had to do was say they think he's the subject of a warrant can they please see his ID. Instead they do the
exact **** that leads to someone reflexively pulling their arm away, which is then used to beat and/or kill the victim.
If any police officers from the department saw that video, thought the cops were not out of line, and thus resigned, GOOD. We need a major changeover in how we train police and in who is currently on the force. Having a badge does not make you God and it should not mean you get a pass where a citizen wouldn't. Having a badge - and a gun to kill people with - should mean you are held to a higher degree of responsibility.
And if you disagree, you best not have said a damn thing about loving "freedoms", "rights", "the constitution", or "America." If you disagree you are an authoritarian and the only reason you don't have a problem with this is because, being white, you don't have to worry about this treatment as much. It just hasn't happened to you or your own.
Hey, I'm sure the ruling class in NK is happy, just like in China.
