A disturbing new video has hit the internet showing yet another unarmed Black teen being abused by law enforcement.
The Baton Rouge Police Department is investigating the arrest of a 13-year-old Black boy who was put into a chokehold by one of its officers.
As an audience of teenagers plead for the officer to stop, the video shows the officer lying on top of the boy with his arm firmly locked around his neck. Two teenagers were arrested after the escapade, and one was charged with battery of a police officer.
Members of the community are requesting for the body cam footage to be made public, while Baton Rouge’s Mayor called the incident “concerning.”
