Just watched a Black man get arrested by cops. #Halifax. Watched as white folks called cops on this Black guy. White cop walked up into my face. I said step back maintain physical distancing He said this does not apply to cops.

White ppl giddy in getting this Black man arrested. Stunned when we said their actions are racist and they shud be ashamed!!! Young Black man yelling his name at me from back seat of cop car. Cops drive off so I can’t get his name...

we may head to police station and see if we can connect with him. young Black man is from Bahamas. may be a student. was trying to get his phone back from brown guy who stole it. and its the effing white woman who called the cops on the Black guy that& #39;s crying!!! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤬" title="Face with symbols over mouth" aria-label="Emoji: Face with symbols over mouth">

white folks giddy to have this Black man arrested, and pissed we calling them racist and then saying, dont take my picture. are you kidding. y& #39;all be tweeting abt your civic duty later and now you are camera shy... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤬" title="Face with symbols over mouth" aria-label="Emoji: Face with symbols over mouth">

Waiting to speak w someone at cop shop... hope we can locate him and that he is ok

Giving our statement. Young Black man is no longer here. But they won’t say where he is. I’ve given my business card to cop to pass onto the young man. Not sure what else we can do now. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😕" title="Confused face" aria-label="Emoji: Confused face">

Headed home now. I’m gutted. I wish I knew his name. He is NOT nameless. Not sure I will ever forget the look on his face as he shouted his name at me from back seat of cop car. And for cop to drive off knowing we were trying to connect.
