The moment a black man was held on gun point by some police officers in Hawthorne, California, has been captured on video.
A woman who was at the scene of the incident recorded a 5-minute long video that showed several armed police with their guns trained on an unarmed young black man.
Terrified he’ll be shot, she weeps and pleads, but keeps recording.
In the video the woman repeatedly asks why so many police have surround the unarmed young man who they have kneeling with his hands up and behind his back, on a busy street corner.
She begins to cry, and pleads for someone to help the young man as she fears he may be shot by police. “Don’t move!”
A police officer who appears to be a supervisor comes over to her to ask what’s wrong. She’s sobbing and tells him that her boyfriend was shot and killed by police in 2015 and she wants to know why so many officers had the guns drawn on the man who she says is unarmed.
There is no follow-up on any Hawthorne Police social media or other online sources to confirm if the man was unarmed, arrested, or ever charged.
Indeed, the cop says that he’s not a suspect he’s just “being detained.”
“We got a call about a robbery …he seemed to match the description ..we’re just detaining him. We’re not saying he’s a suspect …try to relax. It says a weapon was involved that’s the only reason he gets held at gunpoint,” the officer tells her.
