Dr. Armen Henderson, our Director of Health Programs, was handcuffed by Miami PD this morning in front of his home. He was cleaning his van before going to test & give supplies to the houseless. Cops didn’t believe he lived there. http://hrld.us/2VclEna
Armen’s wife Leyla had to prove to the officers they live in their home by showing ID. He’s out to doing his crucial work now with the street team. (Photos via @MatiasOcner of the @MiamiHerald)
Update: Dr. Henderson spoke to @ChuckRabin at the @MiamiHerald about what happened.
“He said ‘you should refer to me as sir, or sergeant when talking to me.’ I never said I was a doctor. But I didn’t cuss. He just grabbed my arms and cuffed me.” https://amp.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article241922706.html
