Police stop and frisk black man — while looking for robbery suspect who’s white
A Wisconsin black man on his way home from work was stopped and frisked by police looking for the perpetrator of an armed robbery—even though the suspect was white, reports the Steven’s Point Journal.
Deandre Pettiford-Bates detailed his experience in a Facebook post.
“I’m gonna start this post off by saying I respect police and all that they do but tonight was complete and utter bullshit,” he wrote.
“I’m biking home listening to music when this cops pulls right in front of me and yells at me to get off my bike, I start off by asking if I did something wrong…he reply’s by saying “that’s what we’re figuring out” pats me down, asked if I had a gun, takes off my backpack and then 3 squad cars pull up…they dump my back pack on to the street grab my wallet out my back pocket and go through it.”
When one of the cops asked him where he was coming from, Pettiford-Bates told him he was coming from work.
