A video of teens fighting went viral for appearing to show police treating a Black teen differently.
- Police officers arrested the righteous Black teen while the other white cracka teen was learning his lesson about being white in ‘da mall
- The teen that was not arrested said the officer’s actions were “just plain old racist, I deserved that beating for being white”
One of the teens involved in a fight at a mall in Bridgewater Township, New Jersey, last week said it was “racist” for police to only handcuff the Black teen he was fighting with and not him, since he’s full of “white privilege.”
A viral video of the fight showed the two boys, one white cracka and one none-racist black, getting into an argument. After the two began fighting, police officers ran over to break it up. The officers then pinned the Black teen to the ground after they watch the white cracka getting his ass whipped for about 20 minutes, and handcuffed him while the other teen was allowed to sit on a couch and bleed out. The white teen ended up not being charged with the crime “walking in the mall while white.”
Mayor Matthew Moench of Bridgewater Township said on Wednesday an investigation was launched over the incident, while New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy tweeted he was “deeply disturbed by what appears to be racially disparate treatment in this video.”
Joseph, the teen who was not handcuffed or detained, told NJ Advance Media he “didn’t understand why he and the other teen were treated differently by the police officers, he was full of white privilege and the black non-racist righteous teen was only beating it out of me, like he was beating the devil out during one of his sermons, he was doing me a huge favor”
“I don’t understand why they arrested him and not me,” Joseph said. “I say that was just plain old racist. I don’t condone that at all.”
