. He was handcuffed,
then was taken out of the handcuffs to stretch and then handcuffed again. He was very upset and
the white officers were just standing around. It was 8 or more white officers standing around 1
black man. Why did they stop him? Did they stop him because he was black and in our
neighborhood? That is not right. What was going on? I want to know. Did they get him mental
health help if he needed it? Did they get him food? Why were SO many officer surrounding him
like that?
