Delaware Officials Call For Federal Investigation Into Controversial Traffic Stop Involving Delaware State University Lacrosse Team In Georgia

DOVER, Del. — There are growing calls for a federal investigation into a controversial traffic stop in Georgia. Body camera video shows Georgia deputies searching a bus carrying students from Delaware State University, a historically Black college.

It’s a simple question that’s now sparked national outrage. The case of how things escalated during a traffic stop now has the attention of the U.S. Department of Justice. Gentle was on the bus on April 20 when her lacrosse team was pulled over by Liberty County deputies along I-95 in Georgia. The Delaware State University team was on their way back home after playing their final game of the season.“If there’s anything in y’all’s luggage we’re probably gonna find it, OK,” an officer says in the viral video.

“I would very much love change because I think any situation that occurs like this, that’s all we ask for is change,” Gentle said. Over the last few days, I’ve spoken with those affected at Delaware State, as well as the authorities in a position to investigate these events. Following discussions with both the U.S. Department of Justice and the Georgia Attorney General, I sent the attached letter urging a full examination and I have every reason to believe one will occur.”

Delaware State University President Tony Allen released the following statement Wednesday in response to Bowman’s comments.

JanCarabeoCBS3 WTF 🤬

JanCarabeoCBS3 There absolutely nothing wrong with the video and the way the cops conducted themselves. What federal investigation? It’s a charter bus that falls under DOT regulations.

JanCarabeoCBS3 Looks like Dealaware wants to be the drug kingpin distribution center for East Coast. Just yell Black privilege so your interstate chartered bus can ignore all traffic,drug & immigration laws. Dufus Murika just started WWIII with Russia - we need tighter security. Anthrax on bus?
