Outrage as white police officer arrests blackman for eating in the US (video)

A viral video on social media shows a white cop, detaining and arresting a young black man for finishing up his sandwich and heading to work.

The blackman can be seen arguing with the officer while a lady was making the video.

This incident happened at BART train station in California.

The officer can also be seen in another video telling the lady behind the camera that he was initially called for an intoxicated lady, but on seeing the black man decided to arrest him for eating blatantly in his face.

It gets worse.

He was called for a woman who was intoxicated. But instead of finding her, he decided to criminalize a black man for EATING! EATING!

THIS IS FACISM AND BLATANT RACISM.

These racist incidents happen everyday to people of colour in the US.

A country still haunted by the ghost of slavery, and racism, with a predominantly white majority.

Earlier this year a white woman called the cops on black people having a barbecue party in their own yard, a white cop shot a black man for entering his own apartment with his own keys, another white woman called the cops on a black kid selling lemonade in front of her parents home.

Racism in the US seems to be on the rise especially since the advent of the current Trump led administration who is considered in some quarters as a racist himself.
