UPDATE: West Chester Township trustees agreed to pay a settlement -- https://youtu.be/5wp6wbAd4Ks

"Sometimes we have suspects that discard what they are wearing." "How the fuck did he discard his skin color???"
-
The fact that the officer said 'he doesn't look anything like him' and they still went to him anyway speaks volumes.
-
A white guy in his thirties. A black guy in his sixties. That’s not a “mistake”. That was completely deliberate
-
They LITERALLY GAVE A FULL DESCRIPTION 😅. Congratulations, y'all were caught in 4K.
-
He’s 60 plus years. He is TIRED of being racially profiled. He’s justified in responding angrily.
-
Caller: "He's white" Police: "You mean black?" Caller: "he's wearing a red hoodie" Police: "got it, orange jacket with a scarf. We appreciate your detailed description."
-
Dang even when you don't fit the description, you fit the description
-
When the store camera shows this guy walked in AFTER these two cops in court, the city should pay this man damages.
-
This was no mistake. The chief needs to be reprimanded as well. I hope he wins his lawsuit. This is fucking ridiculous
-
The fact that the police chief tried to give excuses instead of apologizing is sickening
-
This proves that the cops are trained to do exactly what they do...
-
Good for that man for standing up for himself.
-
“There is a shopping lifting white man” Officers: “nooo, nooo.. that can’t be right.”
-
That chief is exactly what is wrong with the police department
-
How can a person "discard" their race?
-
That man could have lost his life over some b.s. He had every right to cuss their asses out.
-
I understood the man's anger and rightfully so. Don't apologize for standing up for yourself in any manner.
-
The fact that they keep using the word "mistake" is making my skin crawl. That was no mistake. That officer DELIBERATELY went for the wrong person intentionally.
-
You can hear him saying in the beginning as soon as he said look at this guy the other cop says he don’t match the description
