man in Minneapolis has been accused of racially profiling a group of black entrepreneurs in a video that has gone viral.
Tom Austin, the managing partner of F2 Group, was captured on camera telling the men that he would call police inside the gym at the MozAic East building on Lagoon Avenue.
The videos started circulating on social media after two clips were shared on Instagram by Team Top Figure, a social media company based in the building.
Austin told Newsweek in an email that he "f***ed up" and "should have handled it differently," but insisted the incident had nothing to do with race.
"They got in my face in a very threatening manner and I threatened back to call [building] security. I would have done this regardless of race. So this is bullsh**," he said.
In the clip, Austin is heard identifying himself and saying that he is a tenant in the building before asking the men: "Are you?"
He is also seen taking pictures of them, before adding: "What office are you in? I'm calling 911 now."
In another clip posted on Instagram, Austin is seen on a phone call, saying there's a "whole bunch of people who don't appear to be part of the..."

New Video Shows a Handcuffed George Floyd Not Resisting Arrest Before Being Murdered By Cop Derek Chauvin; Video Cuts Off Before The Moment He is Thrown to The Ground
https://blacksportsonline.com/2020/05/new-video-shows-a-handcuffed-george-floyd-not-resisting-arrest-before-being-murdered-by-cop-derek-chauvin-video-cuts-off-before-the-moment-he-is-thrown-to-the-ground/
Why does the video cut off?
What dont they want us to see?
In the original police report, it says that Floyd was resisting arrest. Even if he was that doesnt excuse Derek Chauvin for putting his knee on the neck of a handcuffed and unarmed man for over 7 minutes. Even with Floyd loses consciousness and dies, Chauvin keeps the pressure on his neck so there is no way he can be revived.
In this new video, Floyd is handcuffed and not resisting at all.
He does seem to be in some physical pain which he appears to be telling the cops. He is handcuffed there are multiple cops on the scene, so he is not physical threat to them.
Once again even if he starts resisting there is no reason to murder him, but what if the video shows he doesnt do anything? We need to see what else is on the tape and the body cam footage ASAP.
