1. Manifested? No...

It has always been there....social media,smart phones may be helping for other sectors of society to be made aware of what has been happening to people of color for a long time..

OP this needs to go viral..

3. Did I suggest it's a new phenomenon?

No spring chicken here. Didn't just fall off the turnip truck.




I agree with this needing to go viral. Poor kid is just trying to make an honest living and he gets needlessly harassed by "the man."

UPDATE 7/26/17 @ 12:45 p.m.: The officer in the video has been identified as a Harris County Precinct 1 Constable. Harris County, TX is the third most populous county in the United States with Houston as its county seat. We are working to confirm the name of the constable in the video.

Original story below.

Marvin Gibson and another African-American worker with D&M Lawn Care in the Houston, Texas area were harassed by a man dressed as a police officer that the Houston Police? Department claims is not one of theirs.

The incident happened while the men were doing lawn care and passing out cards for their business.

Gibson begins filming when a man dressed as a Houston police officer tells him to “step over here.”

6. Woa WTF

Some.guy is pretending to be a cop and running around harrasing black kids?

Just what the fuck.

This is why I don't live in Texas. Have family there and love the environment there, but fuck the dirt bag racist country fucks that live there.

Argh

4. This is creepy. Hope they catch the "cop ."

Q: What are the arm scratches at the end? I didn't see contact in the video.

5. That constable is a thug and should be arrested for harassment and stalking

Any legitimate police officer needs to show the badge and identify his/her name when asked.
How do I know he's a Trump supporter?

7. The kid filming kicked ass.

Bullshit this happened to him but he handled it beautifully.

8. What the video doesn't show

is that these poor-excuses for cops sicced a K-9 unit on the kid and Tased him.
