I found this story in the news today about a Black teen that was questioned by police about where his mother was and when walking police to her, officers got out of their car and choked him to the point of him peeing on himself. Officers say that he was violently resisting arrest. However, the report does not say the he was under arrest for any crime and that he was deemed violent because << Miami-Dade Police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta explained, “All of that body language alone is already letting the officers know that this is a person that is now obviously getting agitated and can become violent.”>>.
What do you think: Does an unarmed teenager at the beach with his friends, mother, and puppy need to be choked and restrained by multiple officers?
