Someone saw a Black man with a child in a headlock. However, the concerned caller did not know that it was Black and a young family friend who had been out for a trip to a local basketball court.
and
...The footage showed the teenager, who had been diagnosed as bipolar, running from cops and later being tased. It also shows the officers detaining him in front of his home, where he cried out to his mother for help and said I love you, before he died.
Thug cops with confederate flags on the helmets killing a young black man who did nothing wrong and typically didn't immediately show BCF.
Can the federal government get involved in these cases?
Thx in advance

They could also get involved in investigating that police department, as they did vs. Minneapolis' PD and George Floyd. Typically these investigations lead to consent decrees by which the PD agrees to changes in its procedures.

... when the kids did nothing wrong?
I mean, at some point these guys pay or a person with 30 different complaints against them keep murdering black people.
