Took him kong enough to get that money. You don't go from a white man to a black man in the description
"Sometimes we have suspects that discard what they are wearing."
"How the fuck did he discard his skin color???"
The Chief's response was pathetic. My thoughts exactly, how does one discard their skin color in the store.
As a 40 year old black man, you enjoy black privilege and can do whatever you want, whenever you want. You can murder 50 people, get arrested 50 times, never face prosecution all because the white liberals feel so sorry for you. Black privilege

The fact that the officer said 'he doesn't look anything like him' and they still went to him anyway speaks volumes.
That was the senior officer that said that
@@Biscuitsgravy924 no the junior officer said that wasn’t the right suspect but the senior officer pushed anyways
@@Biscuitsgravy924 It was the trainee that said that, it's stated as such in the vid.
The store manager stated that it was not the suspect, after the entire encounter... The cops never consulted the manager when they first arrived... They went on to lie and state that the manager pointed out the Black shopper as the suspect... Regardless, the cop's radio/CB was clear that the actual suspect was in another part of the store, has the officer walked to the Black shopper... It was made clear in the dispatch call that the suspect is White and in another part of the store, yet the interrogation of the Black shopper took place... The store manager attempted to lead the training officer away without alerting the Black shopper to the actual White criminal being captured... Thereafter, the excuses and damage control of the cops took place.
I belive this falls under poor leadership on the behalf of the senior officer but the training office went along with it to back up his team leader and was following orders agenst his better judgment.
He should get a second chance.
But the senior office should be severely remanded and busted back to training.
As no one got hurt just severely insulted.
They owe the black man an apology in person.
A white guy in his thirties. A black guy in his sixties. That’s not a “mistake”. That was completely deliberate
Even though they got the description wrong they still wanted him to empty his pockets for them or whatever. It’s always a power play with these bullies that have badges.
And they forgot to show his picture!
Why?
The fact that these people are not even scared to do this while they have bodycams on is just concerning
They have an IQ level in the single digits. It's a job requirement.
Exactly
Unfortunately. This country wasn’t made for us, but white people. The police were literally the ones who captured slaves up north and brought them back to their owner or to a new plantation, a ton of families were broken up and any of us could literally be family members. Like ANY of us could be because of slavey.
Because you can’t turn off prejudice no matter what it’s in you for life
Getting body cams was one of the biggest jokes. It's almost saying that we have it all caught on camera and wanted to show you it still does not matter. A joke.
He’s 60 plus years. He is TIRED of being racially profiled. He’s justified in responding angrily.
I'm a 70-year-old black man, so I see those who carry sidearms; they have the edge, so, for me staying cool-headed is where it's at these days; end up dead easy.

Well that didn't happen and that's the problem. The cops could have moved on the second they realized he was not white (assuming you believe that bs), but they didn't. The cops could have simply gone to the aisle dispatch said the suspect was still in, but they ignored dispatch to harass this guy while another officer arrested the suspect. I guess that's why he is suing.
They enjoy seeing us like that, mad, angry, crying and distressed. It’s sickening.
You had The Black Panthers but what do Blacks in the USA like? To be happy, to smoke weed and see the world as if it were colorful. you could have made history If they had had the second civil war only this time it was no longer for the rights of Euro-Americans but for Afro-Americans But you betrayed the Black Panthers because you thought a world colored with marijuana was real, you will continue to die until you make the revolution.
It always mistake on the job, but those policemen need to do right and act like real policemen by not hurting their department or they never be policemen for doing terrible work to a good citizen, that never hasn't done crime themselves.

So yes, he was yelling. I only needed 30 seconds of this feature to understand this. People run out compassion and respect for a system that consistently let's them down. It's heart breaking.

Im hollering 😂
"The white suspect was not arrested on that warrant". - "But the police arrested some random black guys instead, so justice is served..."
pretty much, he saw a black man at the same time a crime was being reported and dude thought he was a World class detective. You can stop telling me where the criminal is and what he looks like...I've found a black man, we will bring him in...wait he is upset, need to subdue him for questioning let me grab my stick and mace.

The fact that the police chief tried to give excuses instead of apologizing is sickening
Right! He tried to make any type of BS excuse.
Bad cops don't apologize.

Because He's a RACIST! He feels it's below him to apologize for his hate.

You can feel the pain in his voice😢 Probably not the first time this has happened to him.
Sadly, it wasn't the first time. I am so appalled by the acts of racism in this world. It is so sad that this is the world we live in.
It was stated in the video that he has been questioned by police at different times over his lifetime.
@@ahamed6702 So sad.
This is why Colin kneeled !
No one wants to be accused of some bs they didn’t even do and the fact he walked in after them should also indicate they had the wrong guy. They don’t have the ability to say sorry sir you’re right we made a mistake. Something that seems to be more and more rare these days. We all make mistakes but you can’t do that with other people’s lives hanging in the balance. It creates an icky feeling in everyone’s stomach that something evil is occurring and we’re powerless to stop it because the entire system has been corrupted. When the government is scared of the people we have liberty, when the people are scared of the government we have tyranny. Liberty may not seem as safe but it is if enough people collectively step up to provide themselves and their own families with protection. You can only do that with arms and vigilance.
The fear in his voice made me almost cry. This dude wasn't sure if he was going to make it in one piece.
Implicit bias is the unconscious, unknowing differential treatment of another person based on a number of discriminatory factors, including but not limited to race, color, age, sex, gender, nationality, disability, and religion.

The surveillance, the deputization essentially of all white men to be police officers or, in this case, slave patrollers, and then to dispense corporal punishment on the scene are all baked in from the very beginning.

@@yourmainful move where?
They didn’t make a mistake, they knew he didn’t fit the description. Then they lied to him about what was said. Mistakes don’t come with lies. If you have to lie then chances are you are in the wrong.
It was still a mistake because they did something they shouldn't have done. They did something wrong and racistly inexcusable! So this is a mistake in the overall-big-picture sense that even if you intend to rob a bank and you do so, it was a bad decision. Wrong decisions are mistakes in the grand scheme of life in general, even if the specific targeting actions of a situation weren't mistakes individually. One of the shades of meaning of the word "mistake" is "to be in error." Being in error is anything that takes you farther away from perfection. Thus, "mistake" does _not_ only mean "done intentionally."
Besides, plenty of mistakes do come with lies. People make one and then lie about it plenty of times. Lying is a mistake because when you do it you have to keep maintaining the first in a given situation with more and more until you eventually blow up. And then when that happens, you see how much of a flawed plan it was.

When dispatcher told the police is not the right man and they still stop him, is completely unacceptable
Making excuses for those 2 officers, it's completely understandable periiod.
By not holding these two accountable it opens the door for them to continue dealing with people the same way. As mentioned in the video, one of the officers is a trainee so , he's being trained to do this real time. Get rid of these two without delay and Chief needs to be removed as well because he is contributing to the problem. Oh, but that would be toooo much like .... reform? The only two in this situation that should not be fired is the dispatcher who was telling them where the suspect was the whole time and the officer that followed directions and went to the part of the store where the suspect was (and arrested his ass).

This proves that the cops are trained to do exactly what they do...
The dispatcher was saying on the radio that the suspect was in a DIFFERENT PART OF THE STORE, and the cops ignored that.

No doubt.
White folks always like giving their little crash courses on how black people are supposed to react and respond to racial profiling and harassment.
False. I have been approached and I wasn't the person they were looking for. I kept calm and they went on about their business. We can't keep justifying acting out of line. We need to stop acting like angry black people. that situation could've been worse wrong person or not.

So let me get this straight: The Police Chief wants US to believe that they didn't stop the elderly black man because he was black. Yet, police dispatcher told them that the suspect was white male in his 30s, wears GREEN, and has a red-like hoodie. Then the police sees the black man and even said "he doesn't look anything like him".

The problem is that a lot of cops never mastered their shapes and colors. There also seems to be a problem with them knowing their numbers and the alphabet.... there's a widespread problem with police pulling over wrong vehicles. They might be looking for a green jeep with the plate number OII347 but they pull over a red Nissan with plate number SOU923. So, it's not really surprising they'd stop a black man in an orange jacket when they're looking for a white man in a green jacket. All you need is a diploma or GED to become a cop but somehow a lot of these guys didn't master kindergarten.

Dispatcher saying "30 year old white man" and they stop 60 year old black man ... that just plain and simple racist
@@pete_lind well said
Klansman, Neo Nazi, racist.......
Not town ! Country ! Be real, this is in no way isolated. It occurs daily and often.
While they are questionning the WRONG person, the real perpetrator continued his steeling spree
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This is always the case
😂😂😂😂👍👍👍
The description was given, how can they be this incompetent to even question this man.
" The shoplifter is a white person "
" Black? "
" No, white and he's wearing a hoodie "
" Black wearing a hoodie, got it."
Sorry but I started dying when he said "this is orange af" like bruh he ain't wrong. 😭
He seemed so calm at the beginning. You can tell they were just being stupid as hell so he finally snapped.
Lmaaaooooo RIIGGHHTT!!!! I literally had to rewind the video where they said the colors the suspect was wearing. I said “grey and red…….ORANGE!?!?!” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Were they being stupid? Or is there another name for it?
Nah he wasnt calm at the beginning. As a black man he already KNEW what was about to go down, which is why he gave them a smart ass answer when they first questioned him. MOST black men already know whats about to go down when the police are near you. We cant STAND the police! They are NOT Heroes to us!!
Its baffling how people can be so evil SIMPLY cause you don't look like them.
As a 40 year old black man, you enjoy black privilege and can do whatever you want, whenever you want. You can murder 50 people, get arrested 50 times, never face prosecution all because the white liberals feel so sorry for you. Black privilege
Facts and he walked in while the "cops" were entering. SMH
"They change their clothing sometimes"...this guy must be a pro, he changed his whole race. AND took 30 years off his age...that's some mission impossible ish.
Lol. Best comment so far
😂😂😂
ikr he’s such a king 😝
😂😂😂💯💯
🤣🤣🤣🤣
$28k worth of incompetence against the chief for his dumb defense of the officers.
Hey i heart goes out to the family i am truly sorry for your loss
Did the police chief just say that the officers “couldn’t see his race”?????? He better NOT be serious
The dude is colour blind man. Can't u see the clothes totally wrong to. Can't see age either. It's like the total opposite of what they described.
🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️amazing….are we all blind 🤦🏾♂️
He’s doing cover and clean up…
💯💪🏾👍🏾😆😅🤣😂
Gaslighting and deception are regular practices by police.
"It was just a consensual encounter" says the chief. Cut the crap, they walked up to him, commanded him to get his hands out of his pockets and to turn around. There was nothing consensual about that and had Mr. Lindsay attempted to terminate that "Consensual" encounter and walk away, well, we all know how that would have went, don't we.
I agree although legally it would probably classify as a consensual encounter, it's unfortunate he didn't ask if he was detained/free to go as that would have confirmed the detainment.
You gotta laugh at the reporter's expression at 3:08 when the police chief said that neither of these "cops" - aka racist thugs with badges - could tell Lindsay's race. I bet was the police chief a random joe the reporter would've called him a brain-damaged idiot.
Exactly what I said! That so called chief is an idiot!
Consent???? Shoot I'd have been arrested you walk on me like that
@@nic.h technically speaking, you don't have to even speak to officers or even stop if it were a consensual encounter. He wouldn't need to stop nor comply with the officers requests.
But then the officers claimed they had 'reasonable suspicion' to contact him, so therefore it was an investigatory detention.
If they cant do the most basic aspect of their job, fire them immediately.
Yes, get that money. Sue the police department entirely
Just love how the chief tried to make excuses for these incompetent clowns who obviously don't know their job.He also tried to make the black dude look bad because he got angry. WHo wouldn't get angry ? The sad part about this whole thing is the taxpayers will have to pay for the cops incompetence. When it starts to come out of the cops pension or from their unions coffers it may stop.
Yes he said he could’ve changed clothes and apparently his skin too 😂
yasser cespedes victim blaming at its finest cuz they are never at their finest only when they profile harrass bully beat kill our men and women and babies its the only time and only then that they are at their finest

How in the hell was this a "mistake" when even the 911 dispatcher repeatedly tells these racist nutbags they have the wrong person!! This was 100% intentional!!

@@ahwarii well that doesn't matter much 'cuz you're basically a worthless Antifa turd. So... yeah.
Stop being an idiot. Not every officer is a RACIST. Morons like you need to go away. The trainee was told by the Trainer to go to the wrong guy and question him. Trainee told the trainer that he doesn't look like him but was told once again to go question him. HE did it. So, is he a RACIST now???? Stupid......
@hognoxious that was the cops intention.. protect the white thief and lock up the black guy..
The police must be more careful before accusing people of being criminals 🙏
I this breaks my heart. Praying for Mr. Lindsey
"A lot of times suspects discard what they're wearing."
Damn dude "discarded" his white skin and put on a black skin. All so he could get away with stealing some canned goods.
Here's another one, point made.

Who would not be angry. Just walking in the store after the cops and been accused of shoplifting while the real criminal remains in the store stealing. The cops were given a full description, and they still targeted this black man.
They kept saying "mistake" this was not a mistake. It was a deliberate and purposeful decision.
It's probably not the first time they did this.😡
Literally the description was fully given to them but somehow STILL led to racially profiling. This is just madness.
The description didn't match the black man at all. He had no dark green/gray carharrt coat, no red beenie, wasn't in his 30s and the biggest, most obvious part, he wasn't Caucasian. They must have just been racist as hell and tried to get him into trouble or something, no mistake was made, that would be impossible.
@@CT-hr9nk we're black, therefore, we fit every description. This is what the police do. This is so tiring.
Truth !!!
@@CT-hr9nk Exactly this and the fact that a lot of officers do this so they can try to scare you into identifying yourself to see if they can catch you for something else like any warrants or drugs. The fucked up thing is that it’s perfectly okay for them to lie 🙃🙃
This is why we say DEFUND THE POLICE
"They couldn't tell he was black when they first saw him." THAT, is clearly a lie, but let's pretend we are stupid and believe it. Surely you knew he was black once you were within 2 feet of him. No? Unbelievable. I appreciate the reporter calling out the interviewee with "there's no evidence that that description changed."
When they hey let me talk to you, i could see he was black through the body cam sitting in my living room
The trainee officer did say the guy looked nothing like the description given. The senior officer is totally at fault here.
Right I can understand if he was light skin like Drake but he's black as hell...
When Dispatch says "caucasian," but all you want to hear is "n-----."
When that racist cop said the word BOSS aka the N word, they knew who he was period.
That police chief is disgusting.... absolutely disgusting
Dispatch: Suspect is a white male.
Police officers: There goes a black male, he's got to be guilty of something, get him.
-With love, the USA!
"He doesn't look anything like him"
The fact that the officer ADMITTED the abuse of power makes this a bit surreal
He was the trainee officer. Nonetheless his senior went on to question the guy.
@@mesutramsey3620 proof they don't only hire racists, they train them to be racist
Real, not surreal.
Even if they were the same color
I hope Eric Lindsay uses this clip in his lawsuit. While the trainee admitted he didn't look anything like the suspect, he still went on to lie to Mr. Lindsay saying they were getting a description that matched him. The trainee is just as culpable because he knowingly perpetuated a lie in real time.
" I saw officers being professional." The ignorance is astounding. Never mind dispatch told them they have the wrong person: twice. They continued to harrass him. I'm glad he is suing them. Throw the police chief in for his pure unadulterated ignorance.
That man’s evil incarnate. Police chiefs are the devil’s advocates. Why they keep hanging onto their criminal goons so much? I have no idea…
It’s not ignorance. It’s willful.
"I saw officers professionally and wrongly accuse a man they had absolutely no cause of reason to approach outside of their own will"
Well the trainee also told him it wasn't him and he still didn't listen
Oh shut up that cop wasn't professional
GOOD! Sue them into bankruptcy.
That chief ans those two officers need to be fired.
Officer: “you got any items in you’re jacket?”
Innocent man: “HELL YEA I GOT ITEMS IN MY JACKET THE ITEMS I CAME IN HERE WITH RIGHT BEHIND YOU GUYS” 🤣 that literally made me laugh so hard

@@kiyahcross9580 And the respond : that not what we were told xD and then : calm down WTF ^^
Those were not mistakes. That was profiling. As a black person it's hard to watch. Thank God the shopper made it out alive.
"Profiling" is seeing a black man and immediately thinking he's a criminal/suspect.This is beyond profiling.This is getting a call about a white criminal,but yet you stop and question a black man.They have evolved past simple profiling.
@@kevinsanchun2052 Profiling 2.0
I second that. It is hard to watch and then you have the police chief attempting to justify the officers inexcusable behavior.
Well you can't make white folks look guilty, you know they weak, gotta be diplomatic on camera, since there's a lawsuit going on and pigs (NOT speaking of cops here, but this kind of people) protect their own.
I am asian and though I never had that happen to me that was 100% Profiling and not a mistake.
The ENEMY did this on Purpose.
A simple walk-up? It was intrusive and uncalled for, not to mention embarrassing. Corrupt cops blatantly LYING as usual...
When the reporter is literally telling the chief that his officers were wrong and the chief is still trying to justify them stopping the wrong person. Smh

Love how the burden is always on us black people to maintain a calm demeanor when we are literally being accused of something we didn’t do… and you did everything in your power to make it seem like that’s who you were looking for by even changing the description of clothing.
