And now there's the video of some of the events leading to the arrest of 21-year-old Tye Anders in Midland, Texas who is seen sprawled on the ground, crying and screaming that he is scared, as multiple cars full of police train guns on him and his 90-year-old grandma intervenes.
...and winds up shoved aside. Did I mention she's 90? There is apparently a community meeting scheduled today and the family has hired a civil rights lawyer. Not posting the terrifying video in which you hear him and his family screaming and pleading with police who seem unmoved.
Something fundamentally has to change about American policing. And soon. #ThisIsAmerica #BlackLivesMatter
Oh, and what was this kid’s alleged crime? Rolling through a stop sign. And for that, all those guns drawn... all that violent mishandling of a 90 year old woman, and all of that terror. #SubjectsOrCitizens #BlackLivesMatter
