Latest News USA: White Philadelphia Cops Harass Shirtless Black Boy Waiting For Bus
In the video obtained by a local high school student, a shirtless black boy said to be around 14, was seen being harassed on a hot Philadelphia summer day by cops while he waited for a bus with others.
According to a fellow teen who was waiting in the same area for a bus, the boy didn’t do anything to have been harassed. In fact, the police allegedly wanted their victim to tell his friends he was “shaking” in the back of the squad car.
Trouble started when the officers pulled up on the boy and demanded he entered the back of the squad car, according to a Twitter user named @Asiaaaaaaaaaaa_, who says she’s 16 and attended school with the group of fellow students waiting on a city bus. Even though other students intervened letting the officers know that the boy didn’t commit a crime that warranted the confrontation, they allegedly wanted him to share how scared he was with his friends as they laughed at him.
A total of up to four white cops surrounded the students after eventually vacating the scene without landing an arrest.
It’s understood @Asiaaaaaaaaaaa_ who is only 16, has used social media to push for justice for the black shirtless boy who was waiting for a bus only to get harassed.
The police department have already responded by responding to Asia’s string of texts by inviting her to file a complaint.
