The systematic oppression of minorities especially black folks is finally being recognized for how disgusting it really is. The hateful prejudice that white americans find normal is finally being called out against on a national scale. The hypocritical message of “All men are created equal” only makes sense when those men are not labeled for things out of their own control. Poking at someone being different for your own satisfaction is sooo normal in America that it’s just part of the culture here. And it’s absolutely toxic. It’s toxic to the person who has the prejudice and toxic towards the person receiving prejudice and toxic to everyone else witnessing it happening. I’m just over this labeling culture, like why are people trying to catch eachother slippin so we can call eachother out and roast, instead of having genuine ideas of helping one another?

Cop responds to an alarm call, no alarm can be heard. Cop looks around the house, sees nothing suspicious. Instead of calling dispatch to reconnect with the alarm company to make sure it wasn’t a false alarm (which it was), like he should, cop breaks the law and opens the front door. He has no warrant to enter this house and no exigent circumstances that would otherwise allow him entry. Cop violated homeowner’s 4th Amendment (and other) rights.

After all of that, the supervisor orders the cop to throw him in the car and search the house without any suspicion or a warrant. They're searching the house presumably to try to find any evidence to use against him and to try and justify their illegal actions. Good thing he got it all on video, that's the difference these days. It's not just your word against theirs anymore, there's proof.

skillzbaby J do t trust that they didn’t steal anything or plant something. Maybe a little bit of cocaine dust behind somewhere.

[@JerseyzFinest201]

skillzbaby an alarm is a call of a possible burglary in progress. Its a common but serious call. The officer did say he announced himself several times. The only thing i see wrong is when the officer didnt ask for ID to defused further actions. Also, the supervisor should of never put the homeowner in the car. No warrants are needed when searching a home for a possible burglary

[@itzxile1383]

B Y why would they have a reason to search the home when the home owner is telling them to gtfo?

[@JerseyzFinest201]

Itzxile 13 I just explained why the police searched the home. An alarm to a residence is a possible burglary in progress. A search of the home is required. The police did wrong by not determining if the man in the video was the home owner or not.

[@jiggzstarr]

@@JerseyzFinest201 I agree, my point was that the supervisor should have had better judgment. The problem starts from the top. Instead of acknowledging the possibility that the officer made a mistake, he doubles down and arrests the innocent man in his own home and proceeds to unlawfully search the house. The man had his rights trampled on. This won't stop until they start being held accountable for breaking the law.
