This is just one reason behind the seriously BAD relationship between cops in general and some blacks. |
Did you follow the original story link and read? In the video...did you see a snowball fight?

Go there and scroll down. They got a call of a young man with a gun. When they got there a young adjusted his waist band then ran off. The cop you see is securing the area
They have the audio of the police call
"
The call comes in at about 3:42 p.m, a report that a Male/Black in a blue jacket brandished a handgun. That he was part of a group of 6 Male/Blacks walking on Lee Archer Drive (Heritage Homes) towards 51 or 81 Winthrop, towards the construction site where the next phase of Heritage Homes is under construction. Police respond and one of the youths in the group runs. There is some confusion as to the description of the person reported to have brandished a weapon (the complainant later refuses to be identified or contacted), Several minutes later an officer can be heard saying "Don't *******Move" which matches up the bystander video and places that video within the context of what turned into a police chase on foot of a suspect matching the description of the people ordered to kneel on the ground. The people kneeling are described as "complaint" and released. Police lose track of the suspects and put out a BOLO for a Male/Black 5' 7" Dark Skin, Beige Pants, blue denim jacket with beige trim, black hoodie, last seen making a right on Horton Avenue from DeWiitt Place.
New Rochelle Deputy Police Commissioner Anthony Murphy issued a statement to the New York Daily News:
“There was no snowball fight”, Murphy said the video was “clever mischief”
“We dispatched several cars to the area. Police officers got out of their cars and one of the individuals bent down, adjusted something in his waistband and ran.”
“The group was compliant…the other cop is in foot pursuit of the suspect that had the gun. The suspect runs into an apartment house and into an unknown apartment.”
Murphy also gave a statement to the Journal News. He said that when the officers arrived on scene, one young man crouched and put his hand to his waist before running off.
"This guy makes a move and the officers draw their guns. This happened within seconds."
New Rochelle City Manager Chuck Strome gave a statement to the New York Post. He said the incident was not sparked by a snowball fight, that the cops “acted appropriately”, that there was no reason to investigate the matter.
“The video shows the officer securing the area. They were just making sure everybody was OK in the area, right now, it doesn’t appear to be anything that we have to look at much deeper. We’re looking into the matter, but I believe the police acted appropriately."
A second unnamed source, a “”high-ranking source” also spoke to the Daily News.
“The video looks terrible, but it’s completely out of context. It’s a completely different incident than it appears from that snippet. There's clearly a lot of misunderstanding. The record of the 911 call will by itself illustrate what was going on.”
