Cop caught on video using N-word to young black men (WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE)
“Hey, you want to get out of here fast, right?” she’s heard saying. “So if you have more people, ya’ll n----s been trying to do something...” (Obtained by New York Daily News)
A Maryland police department has released body-cam footage of a white officer using the N-word toward a group of young black men after a video of the exchange went viral Thursday on social media.
The 12-minute video, which was not bleeped, shows several officers questioning four men outside a McDonald’s in Silver Spring when one of the cops, whose name has not been released, uses the slur at the group. Police were investigating a trespassing complaint.
“Hey, you want to get out of here fast, right?” she’s heard saying. “So if you have more people, ya’ll n----s been trying to do something...”
The Montgomery County Department of Police apologized for the incident and said the officers are under investigation. The agency released both the officer’s body-cam video as well as the Instagram video recorded by one of the young men.
