Off-Duty Black Police Officer Racially Profiled, Assaulted By Group Of Cops (VIDEO)

Harold Thomas said in an interview with New York’s ‘NotJustUs‘.

A decorated officer who had worked for the New York City Police Department for nearly three decades, Harold Thomas became a victim of racial profiling and police brutality.

Thomas and his friend had been celebrating a friend’s birthday at La Marina, a night club located in the city’s Washington Heights District. As he exited the club, making his way to his parked Cadillac Escalade, the off-duty police officer was approached by another NYPD cop, Andrew Ali.

Ali told Thomas that his SUV matched the description one reported at a ‘shots fired’ call earlier in the day. Thomas informed Ali that he was a police officer. He presented his badge and his police ID. An official police plaque was displayed prominently in the window of the SUV.

Two more officers approached the scene, James McKenna and Paul Montali. Again, Thomas identified himself as an off duty police officer and presented his ID.

Instead of apologizing and going on the way, the third officer became physically violent
