THIS IS HOW INNOCENT UNARMED BLACK MEN GET KILLED!

2 black men went to record a music video in a neighborhood they grew up in, they went to school in, they have relatives in...only to be stalked by a white cop & told they don't belong.

...but he's just one of many exactly like him who are still on the job and still harassing young men of color, just because they think they can.

.. that he was also fired in May 2017 after ten months on the job at Lonoke County Sheriffs Dept "for his negative attitude".

This SOB is going to gun down an innocent POC one day. Or smother. Or choke-hold. Or tase to death.

...these rogue cops go from from department to another to another. Case in point is the scumbag who shot the young man running away in the back in East Pittsburgh a month or two ago.

Unless and until these lunatics start getting tried, convicted, and imprisoned, this shit is going to continue happening time and time again...

Apparently they didn't even bother firing him until the video was put online, likely because of the bad press it would've caused. This should've been everywhere but it's only making the news today in a big way.

Is he still in his job?
There are more to take his place, but one by one they need to GO. That was just appalling.
