Body camera footage has been released after white police officers in the US arrested a black teenager and handcuffed a second for allegedly jaywalking in an area of Oklahoma where there are few footpaths.

Body camera footage has been released after white officers in the United States arrested a black teenager and handcuffed a second for allegedly jaywalking in an area of Oklahoma where there are few footpaths. "I want every kid in Tulsa to feel safe to walk down the street in their neighbourhood. No Tulsa kid should have to fear being tackled and cuffed for walking down the street. I viewed that footage last night more as a parent than a mayor," he said.

One of the teens becomes frustrated and within seconds, police force him to the ground on his stomach with his hands behind his back. The second teen is heard questioning the officer: “Why you got to put your hands on him bro? Why are you arresting him? Why are you putting handcuffs on him?” As the officers start to take the boys to the police van, the first teen arrested is heard calling the officer “evil” and “racist”. “You want to see me in jail or dead?” The second teen arrested was let go and instructed on how to avoid jaywalking in the future. Throughout the footage, the teens repeatedly asked why they were being arrested.

The arrests come following the death of black man George Floyd at the hands of a white Minneapolis police officer.

Who cares?

Cool when you are going to cover the thousands of videos where rioters maim and murder police officers and civilians?

Fury after US senator suggested coronavirus spread among black Americans due to poor hand-washingA US Senator is under pressure to resign after linking a higher rate of coronavirus among the black community to less hand-washing. Tell him (or her) to burn in hell. So Huffman is a quack doctor and a dodgy politician? Does he also have a used car lot, where he does multi-level marketing, sells time-share and distributes hydroxy? Whilst a Dixie flag flies over his locked-in contract gym, titty bar and trafficked worker nail bar? Could it be true?
