Wait! At the end did the reporter say “as they handcuffed him, he ran”?! Because he was just standing there in the same spot....he didn’t run.

Cops making up s__t to justify their racism, nothing more nothing less. SOP in most of cop country.
Has anyone noticed whenever a reporter ask about a racial incident the police say "We can't comment because it's a ongoing investigation". Or if someone plans on suing ( they never even filed the paperwork yet ) the Police say " We can't comment because it's a pending litigation". They keep everything close to the chest. However if the person has a record the police will talk all day or at least leak the info to the press.

1994 Kenosha Wisconsin. my battery was dead. I had threeblocks to push my car to get home. pushing the car appeal a police car comes from the opposite direction, then does a U-turn and then gets behind my body as I’m pushing my car up hill. He gets up on the radio and says move to the side. Apparently he ran my license plate. Sitting on my bumper waiting for the police to run his background check. with his Spotlight on my face. no warrants. no tickets. Turned his lights off and drove around me and disappeared. So much for helping.

Last summer my wife and I saw a couple who were in a older honda Civic the husband was pushing it uphill and getting nowhere. So we get out and us both being powerlifters we got the car pushed to the gas station about 70 yards away all uphill and the whole time two cops watching and laughing. I said "don't bother to help now this was a job that requires the strength of a veteran. Not a punk" took the wind out of their sails really quick.
You can actually hear the cop say "You're now under arrest *for resisting arrest!* " The cop will be found to have done nothing wrong, but the city will still have to pay out a lot of moolah. Your tax dollars at work.

you’re allowed to resist an unlawful command. In this case an unlawful arrest. They will say well he was under arrest okay for what reason/law did he break to be under arrest.
The news reporter still doesn’t believe this could happen.

drmayeda1, you're wrong. Unless he is caught committing a crime OR suspected of committing a crime he DOES NOT have to show ID. he asked the officer if he was a suspect, the officer said no. The man followed the law, the police did not. If you or the police don't like the law, fight for a change and vote for Representatives to change it. Otherwise, leave innocent people alone and respect the law that police are SUPPOSED to protect.

So now he has to fork out on the fees to get his car back. And you wonder why they run.
It's hilarious. How was he trying to help him? Did he know something about cars? Did he ask him what was wrong with his car and offer to take a look at his car? Did he offer to give him a ride? Did he offer to loan him a phone, if he didn't have his own? (A cop actually did that for me one time. I was walking around campus at night in the food court looking for a phone and I saw a officer chatting with a professor. I stopped and asked him what happened to the pay phones that used to be near the bathrooms. He said they'd been removed. Then out of the blue he said you can use my phone. That's what you call helping somebody.) The officer had no intention of helping this man at all. It's not even rational to say someone is trying to help you when the only questions they're asking you are questions designed to "help" you incriminate yourself.
Get paid dude.

Last time I check it is called kidnapping.
That officer do not help him at all. All that man did is ruin the guy's life. And credit. And now the tax payers is going fox it. This officer should be fire or suspended without pay. That way he can feel the pain for not having job.
I wish he wouldn't have ran, this was obviously profiling. "Let me help you by running you for warrants.".
Well you have a civil lawsuit. $100,000 for the false arrest, another $100,000 for the false imprisonment, and another hundred thousand dollars for kidnapping. Now you have to negotiate loss of income because they stole your car.
You don't help someone by asking for a license. You're every intention was to cause trouble and inconvenience this man. Those pigs didn't have to do that and a white boy would have been left alone. Able to keep his little car

wait so did they suspect him of a crime or not? because that will be the centrepoint of the case. if they had no such suspicion then they are in the wrong

I live in Stafford, Va. The cops do pull over black people for no reason. Once I got pulled over for "speeding" when actually I hadn't done anything. The cop saw a young black man driving and decide to harass me. I didn't even get a ticket.
This was just to add to the number of arrest to meet the quota. It does not matter if he is found to be innocent later on.
They do this because the chiefs and judges let them
