My nephew was on his way home from school & was randomly targeted by the police. When he asked why they wrestled him to the ground & put their knee on his neck. @metpoliceuk the way you target black children is DISGUSTING! You could have killed him! #justice4K
It’s sad that I have to make these disclaimers but my nephew is 16, literally the sweetest & most gentle person you will ever meet. He is not affiliated with any gangs or been in any sort of trouble in his life! He’s just a child that has suffered in the hands of @metpoliceuk
When the officers in the video were asked why did they stop him, they said they couldn’t say yet. You can hear my nephew saying he didn’t want 2go with them because he was scared, but they took him in & drove around in the van for hours! @metpoliceuk that’s kidnapping #justice4K
My cousin (his mum) only found out where he might have been via this video. How can you not notify a parent of their child’s whereabouts is beyond me! @metpoliceuk the racial profiling & adultification of black boys is shocking #justice4K
My nephew is at home traumatised, this is exactly how George Floyd died - by asphyxiation due to the knee on his neck and this is the force you felt was ok for an innocent child @metpoliceuk ?! #justice4K#icantbreathe#georgefloyd
Anyway please RT & let’s get these officers held accountable because we all know this could have ended up very differently. Also please submit a complaint if you can: met.police.uk/fo/feedback/co…#justice4K
