Cop Caught Arresting the Wrong Man in Racial Profiling Incident | NowThis

‘You don’t know my name, so how can you tell me I have an open warrant?’ — This Harris County, Texas officer tried to arrest a Black father in front of his own home after incorrectly identifying him as a suspected criminal from another state.

In Harris County Texas news today, a police officer arrested the wrong man and it was all caught on camera. In this example of racial profiling, Harris County law enforcement approached a Black father outside his home mistaking him for a suspected criminal from Louisiana. Police officers getting owned is not a common sight but these cops (Harris country Texas) were wrong this time. One could argue that this racial profiling short film shows that Black lives matter and more law enforcement training is need to eradicate police bias.

*meanwhile cops wondering why people hate them so much*

I hate how they act like the black guy needs to calm down I’d be mad asf too

[edzhead]

i hate when they say ...calm down...like it's wrong to be outraged by all that

[Krakenborn]

The worst part is that there are people who will automatically side with the cop and say that the victims were being "aggressive"

Black guy: chillin with his kids and dog

Cop: is this a wanted criminal?

[seek]

"We got a black man walking his dog need additional units now"

[PilgrimPiper]

An innocent man's life could have changed in an instant and he's told to "calm down". Horrible

[leedove]

He knew you didnt have a warrant, lied and made it up, cuz he knew he couldn't be held accountable. His ego was hurt.

Black guy: enjoying a normal day

Cop: wait thats illegal

[subscribetopewdiepie]

Black guy: walking dog

Police: isn’t that a little weird

[BabiNoodle]

I'm not surprised at all. I worked for a federal law enforement agency, and the in-house discrimination and racism was out of control. Law enforcement overall needs to take a hard look and clean house.

As a former cop, the fact this is a sergeant outrages me even more. Clearly, a case of racial discrimination and profiling, this can never be allowed!

[Jose-uyqc]

Police b like “we investigated ourselves, turns out we did nothing wrong!”

[moderater.]

Cop: *sees black man with dreads*
“Eh, close enough.”

[santino]

He wanted to do a report on falsely accusing the guy?!? Wow even when he knows he is wrong he is still going to stand his ground and do something like that. That’s a dangerous man to the public and he has a gun on his hip

[liraloo]

Is there a decent cop ANYWHERE in this country?

[mariahammarstrom]

Police: "I know who you are."
Man: "Then what´s my name?"
Police: "...show me your ID."
