that a black guy was breaking into a car (not). No way would she have thought anything of it if it was a white guy attending to something about his car. And if that wasn't enough, she wasn't content in just calling it in, she followed the black guy and continued giving instructions to the cops as to where the car was.

What followed is a typical police action where a black guy is involved. Four of them bum rushed him as he stood there outside his car with his hands up and took him to the ground where one proceeded to beat him and another is heard saying "stop resisting". Their typical cya response that they know is being picked up by their cruiser's mike.

They even found out it was his car yet still arrested him.

Of course they send out a black spokesman on the police-prepared video to "explain" that the cops did nothing wrong and operated within the guidelines of police procedure. I guess using the black spokesman is to show that there was no bias at all in the bum rush and arrest for getting into his own car and driving.

Guess this is the latest type of profiling — white person calls cops on black guy getting into his car and driving away — WHILE BLACK.

Busy bodies need to check themselves. We've already seen Tamir Rice and John Crawford get gunned down and killed in similar situations.
