Eric Holder has voiced his strong support for "wholesale change" in the Ferguson Police department [2] adding that it is "pretty clear" and "appropriate," coming on the heels of a possible resignation of Chief Thomas Jackson (who happens to be white) and potential dismantling of the department. One wonders what will happen in Philadelphia after this clip of a not-white police officer abusing a black civilian reaches Holder's 'old' desk...
An unidentified officer is seen following a group of teenagers before confronting one particular young man.
"Big man, do we have a problem?” the officer asked during the 12-second video. “Because I notice that you keep trying to make eye contact with me. Is there a problem?”
The teen appeared to reply to the officer, but what he said was not clear.
“Okay, well keep f***ing walking,” the officer then said.
“The next time you look me in my f***ing eye, I’m gonna beat the s**t out you! Now get the f**k out….” he added before the video ended abruptly.
The Phily PD explain...
"The video does not reflect well on the officer," the official said. "I have no doubt he had good reason to be exasperated but you have to maintain your professional demeanor."
