“One minute, you’re cooking dinner… the next, you’re getting a call from your 14-year-old son, stumbling over his words through hysterical tears, saying, ‘Mom, please come pick me up,’”

An off-duty Chicago cop was filmed allegedly kneeling on a 14-year-old boy’s back while accusing him of stealing his son’s bike. The white cop is seen pressing his knee on the teenager as he lies face-down against the pavement outside a Starbucks in the Chicago suburb of Park Ridge, according to video posted on Facebook by the boy’s mom, Nicole Nieves.

The boy’s friends, who appear to be white, are heard pleading with the cop to, “Get off him.” They then physically separate their friend from the officer once he finally lets up. Nieves suggested that her Puerto Rican son may have been targeted because of the color of his skin. Nieves wrote. Chicago Police are now conducting an internal investigation into the incident.

DiscoveryID Allegedly? So what is happening in that picture? You people are part of the problem.

Even when their off duty they can't help themselves. Time to, again, look at the training and ettinģ

Disgusting yet now suprising behavior by white men in America

I like that he is off-duty, so a civilian, but open an 'internal investigation' instead of suing his ass.

All this over a bike? And...isn't it pretty easy to see if he has the bike or not?

what’s this allegedly BS? we can clearly see him doing it in the photo.

The police are investigating themselves. Yeah that will really clear things up.
