In a viral video circulating around Twitter, a black man is seen being handcuffed by two white officers. In the video, he insists that they have the wrong guy, but they do not listen. It just happens that the video was taken in Minnesota, where black man George Floyd was murdered at the hands of white officer Derek Chauvin.

People on Twitter reportedly believe that the black man is an FBI agent but that has not been confirmed by the person that posted the original video. The officers are from the Minnesota Police Department, the same department that Chauvin belonged to.

Minnesota Police Racially Profiled The Man Who Was Simply Hanging Out

In the video, you can see that the black man is sitting outside of a bar smoking a cigarette. Two officers approached him and he said that they are “racially profiling” and assuming that he is someone else. After the officers deny racial profiling him, he asks one of them “are you Jake?” The officer denies that is his name and the man says “well you look like a Jake.” This teaches the officers a lesson. Just because this man is black does not mean he is a criminal nor is he the man they are looking for. He is merely just a man trying to relax but attests that he is being “harassed” by these cops.

The white officers grab the black man by the arms and try to arrest him. It is a scene that is all too relatable to the social injustice of today as we see on social media and the news of police brutality. They proceed to force him out of his seat and handcuff him. Bystanders and those behind the camera insist that they have the wrong guy. No matter how many times he urged the officers to look at his ID to prove that he was the wrong guy, they hesitated.

The Man Turned Out To Be Innocent

After finally looking at the man’s ID, the officers eat crow. They realize that not only is he not the person they are looking for, but they just arrested him for absolutely no reason. The man calls upon their supervisor to report this case of racial profiling. The officers try to justify their actions by saying he matched the description of the man they were actually looking for. But, the supervisor also sides with his officers and claims that they did nothing wrong. The man is then surrounded by a swarm of white officers who are trying to justify their reasons for arrest.

The scene of a black man being surrounded by only white officers is harrowing. The fact that this was a year ago and it depicts the same kind of issues that are going on today after the Floyd case just shows that there were already issues with racism in this police force. The man eventually walks off after saying that he will be reporting each of the officers. They demonstrated an act of cowardice and blatant racial profiling. It’s adding more fuel to the fire in the call for justice over Floyd’s death. People on social media think the Minnesota Police Department is in need of an overhaul, and it’s instances like these that lead people to protest.
