New Jersey police are under fire for their response to a fist fight after a Black eighth grader was pinned to the ground and handcuffed while a white teen involved in the weekend mall scuffle was left seated on a couch.
“Although an investigation is still gathering the facts about this incident, I’m deeply disturbed by what appears to be racially disparate treatment in this video," Gov. Phil Murphy said.New Jersey police are under fire for their response to a fistfight after a Black eighth grader was pinned to the ground and handcuffed while a white teen involved in the weekend mall scuffle was left seated on a couch.
The Black teen, Z’Kye Husain, 14, said the dispute started when he stood up to the other boy, who is older, for picking on his friend. Z'Kye said of being restrained: “I was, like, calm, because I knew not to be scared. Just stay calm and not move and do what they tell me to do.”“It doesn’t take two cops to hold a 14-year-old boy down who’s not resisting, while the other boy is just kind of going free and still going off on my son. It just doesn’t make sense,” she said.
“We recognize that this video has made members of our community upset and are calling for an internal affairs investigation,” the statement said. “I am completely confident that the Prosecutor’s review will be impartial, objective and thorough,” Moench said. “I want to thank the public for its patience in refraining from jumping to conclusions while an investigation is pending.”
