https://www.theguardian.com/law/2018/apr/25/the-brothers-who-were-searched-by-the-police-for-a-fist-bump

He met his brother, Dijon, who had just ordered some food from the takeaway next door, and they tapped fists. Within seconds Dijons arm was grabbed by an officer from the Mets territorial support group who said she saw them exchanging drugs.

As Dijon protested, another officer tightly cuffed his free wrist and accused him of behaving aggressively. Im not being aggressive Im a big guy, said Dijon, who is 6ft 8in tall.

Exactly, the officer replied. At the same time, another officer restrained Liam, while a second rifled his pockets. Finding nothing illicit, the officer took his keys and searched his car.

The incident is now under investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct. The Josephs, neither of whom has a history of drug-taking or violent crime, have alleged that it was a clear case of racial profiling, there were no reasonable grounds for a search, and that officers used unnecessary force. If the police are exonerated, it suggests an act as commonplace as a fist bump can justify a stop and search at least if the suspect is black.

Dijon shared footage of the 27 February incident on Facebook, where it has been viewed more than 200,000 times. His video ends as officers, finding his girlfriends bank card in his wallet, arrest him for handling stolen goods.

Eventually, they were forced to release him at the scene after speaking to her on the phone. Finally, having detained the brothers for about 40 minutes, they left with no apology, no explanation and no paperwork.

I saw you two exchange drugs, you are arrested!!!
...huh, no drugs on any of you...
That means... That the drugs must be in your car!!!
...huh, no drugs in the car...
That means... That the drugs must be in your wallet!!!
...huh, no drugs in the wallet...
Must be something in here... social number... Credit Cards in your name... AHA, a bank card that belongs to a female, I knew that you were a thief the second I saw you!
Girlfriend, pfff, like any girl would like to be with a criminal like you.
And I will prove it by calling her!
...huh? You know him? Boyfriend? You gave him the card? You sure?
Fuck, let them go. At least we can skip the paperwork.

The right way to solve this is by suing the state so these two men get a payout. Rioting just destroys communities and hurts people.

Hey you exchanged drugs!
No we didnt. Search us. No drugs on either one of us
Then the drugs are in the car!

Its like...you thought the bump was an exchange and realized later it wasnt...and then they continued to act in certainty that those two men had drugs SOMEWHERE...

This is some blatant racism, there was no reason the police had to harass these guys, and most girlfriends do ask their boyfriends to hold onto their bank card if your at the movies, a concert, sports event, etc so the card is not lost.

Time wasted harassing two guys who are just being friendly with each other, whats next the nod being seen as tipping off other criminal to the police ??

This cop was completely wrong. But there's no reason to think that this was race related and that the same thing wouldn't have happened to a white guy.

Racist cops assume dude HAS to have drugs. Are proven wrong multiple times, feel stupid and try to get him on any possible charge they can to justify doing their job shitty.
