An active-duty soldier has been charged with third-degree assault and battery, authorities say.A white active-duty soldier who was seen in a viral video berating and shoving a Black man in a South Carolina neighborhood has been charged with third-degree assault and battery, according to the Richland County Sheriff's Department.
The incident took place on Monday, officials said. Police were called and responded to the neighborhood at the time.In the video, posted to Twitter, the man, identified as Pentland, is seen confronting a Black man walking down the sidewalk and yelling at him to leave the neighborhood, known as The Summit, in Columbia, South Carolina.
"The leaders at Fort Jackson in no way condone the behavior depicted in the video posted recently," Brig. Gen. Milford Beagle Jr., Fort Jackson's commander, said in a statement."This action deeply impacts our community -- the neighbors in the Summit, the city of Columbia, Richland & Lexington counties, and our Army family."
The sheriff said an unspecified underlying medical condition might have led to the victim approaching the neighbors.The sheriff did not confirm the identity of the victim, but confirmed the Black man who was accosted is not a juvenile.This April 14, 2021, booking photo provided by the Richland County, S.C., detention center shows Jonathan Pentland, a U.S.
Good, maybe time in Jail will change his mind.

dude a coward he hid in house once his family arrived
So if a young White or Asian man strolls into Mike Tyson’s neighborhood and threatens a few neighbors and Mikes house is vandalized , I think we know what Mike would do and I don’t think ABC and MSM would be parading the race card.
Anyone have the full tape? All this videos start in the middle with no real context as to what lead up to the confrontation. Please get all facts before posting ABC news
Sometimes I’m embarrassed being white... this is one of those times .. this guy is a classic racist bully..
HE IS A CHILD NOT A MAN. 16.
Good. The video is disgusting. Hope along with the criminal charges he gets a dishonorable discharge from the military
Good.
Was a set up
I'm pretty liberal in my thinking when it comes to racial incidents... but this one seems like ABC is playing the race card without investigating the story first. I'd like to see the neighbor's statement that the dude was threateningly approaching them before screaming race war.
Better start making clothes from cotton wool, so a certain group of people can wrap themselves up in it. Sick of them.
He's apparently a Drill Sergeant too. I wonder how he treated recruits. He's used to young recruits doing what he says, he was clearly angry that thing kid defied him. He's a bully.
Not a Black man...a Black Boy ( he's 16)
Click bait. Move on.
I read he was 16. He wasn’t a man, he was a child.
I'm sure there is more to this that the leftist ratings whore media isn't showing.
For the record any black on white crime yesterday. Crickets
JauneJackson Awaiting mrbrandonbryant commentary on this one
Probably the first time in history that is ever happened. Thank you for reporting on this!Find another story you race baiters
How about ALL the details, PLEASE! What was the 'victim' doing BEFORE the vid started recording? He had been approaching people in the neighborhood in some fashion---but HOW? Pretty important detail to leave out with such a volatile situation!
I always wonder if somebody acts like this how they treat their wife.
비정규직종--전국민의 연금또는 생활보조비 지급 에서는 높은 수준의 버젼이지요--학벌만 보조되면 완벽한 이론이지요 --생산양을 채우는 수준의 동원 능력과 만족감---사칭 도용하지마세요 --거듭 주의 와 경고가 될듯 ---장점이 많지요 --중국의 인력관리 실패가 표준인듯
yeah, I don’t believe this for a minute.Judging from the video, he hardly seemed “threatening” “According to the sheriff's department, the victim 'approached several neighbors in a threatening manner and the confrontation escalated after a neighbor asked Pentland to intervene..”

Because twitter. Police who showed up when it happened ignored it until twitter outrage forced their hand.
Another example of systemic racism in America. He should be dishonorably discharged.
One can only imagine what this man would do to black people when in police uniform or in other situations of power. Racism continues to cloud the life of many. Thus there’s dire need to help them rid themselves of this loathsome disease that hurts so many in the society.
The Trump years really did harm to the country. His let’s make America great again was not about bringing jobs to America!
Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it. Laurence J. Peter,
Stop this race shit!
