Yes of course Bennett's allegations should be investigated. But to start the retaliation before that investigation even occurs...???
Note that the body cam footage from the incident backs up everything that he said.

the fact that they're harping on Bennett's civil rights activism is sickening. also sickening, the claim that since the two arresting officers are Latino they can't possibly be profiling a black man.

there's no footage of his actual arrest, the arresting officer's body camera was not activated. there is a lot of other footage that's confusing and doesn't really show much of anything to support either the police or Bennett's version of events. it does show that a lot of people were running after the police told everybody to freeze, and nobody is getting detained for that.

From personal experience with some of my ex's extended family, some Latinos can be every bit as bad at profiling blacks as any other. Just because two persons are "people of color", does not mean they do not have their own ethnic prejudices against each other.

Like JoeH, I too can point to Latino's being just as capable of being as racist as anyone. The most racist person I know (of any race) is a Cuban man. He was self-employed and wouldn't even accept jobs from Blacks. It made no sense because his wife's grandmother was Black (the only thing I could figure was she was a Black Cuban, while the rest were Black non-Cubans.
