    Father out walking with his autistic 7 year old son early before it gets hot. Police show up and tell him he looks suspicious. They proceed to slam him to the ground and arrest him for being suspicious and leave his kid crying and alone.

    All sounds crazy until you realize he was black suspicious in a shithole red state. Then it makes sense. ‘Merica!

    Officers are still employed and on payroll.

    3 minute video below in tweet. Last minute is heartbreaking. News article below that.

    either this is blatant collusion to soak the tax payers or these asswipes need to have honey poured on them & thrown in an ant hill.

    Walking w/o ID is an offense? Make America China!

    It's a little town north of Oklahoma City.
    Watonga. Ultra conservative.

    If a policeman pulled over and asked me where I was walking to, where I was coming from ... I'd probably tell him because that's my nature. But unless he gave a reason why he wanted to know, part of me would be thinking "what business is it of yours ...?"

    It seems that some forget that we are citizens, not subjects. Fire the pos and prosecute him.

    So this is the “dilemma.”

    Uh, I’m just existing, how about you participate?

    Reality: This.

    Outrageous. I would say I hope this guy gets millions, but those dollars come from the 90% of citizens who work daily life just fine.

    Just to pick one, when the cop tells the terrified 4 year-old “I’m not going to hurt you”…..

    Wow. What a qualifier.

    You would simply comply with his request, like most of us would.

    When that kid started wailing it just ripped my heart out.
    Watonga would not want me on a jury.

    I agree with everybody here based on the video evidence however are we sure the title of this thread is correct?
    John Sexton does not look black to me and none of the articles I could find said anything about a Black Man. You know if Sexton was black every news media reporting this story would mention he was black.

    I stand corrected, they look about as black as Kamala Harris.
