It's not right, but it's understandable. The cop should be suspended without pay for how he acted, but there is a reason statistics is a 1000 level class in most universities.
edit: I still think it's wrong that racism caused this, but you can't expect an lone officer to buck the trend in such a scripted scenario. I do hope this gives a new perspective to white officers out there.
Even the video with the white guy being arrested by the police is completely different from the black man. That white dude was yelling back at the cop who hadn't drawn his gun, didn't call for back up, etc.
If that black man would have reacted like that he white dude he would have been shot.
That's America where a black man gets shot and killed in Walmart by police for carrying a toy gun that he picked up while shopping in Walmart.
Where 12yr old black boys get shot and killed by the police for having a toy gun in the park
Meanwhile white dudes carrying AR-15's get polite conversations from police.
Smh
That's this case: Grisham releases 'Holding Temple Police Department Accountable' video | Watchdog Wire - Texas
"U.S. Army Master Sgt. C.J. Grisham was convicted Nov. 19 by a Bell County jury retrying his Class B misdemeanor charge of interfering with a peace officer while performing a duty. With potential punishment of a fine not to exceed $2,000, confinement in jail for a term not to exceed 180 days or both fine and confinement, he was sentenced the following day to a $2,000 fine. With an appeal likely, questions continue surrounding statements made and allowed to stand throughout the case’s investigation and prosecution."
