DESCRIPTION
The mayor and City Council of Edina, Minnesota, have publicly apologized for a videotaped altercation between a white police officer and a black man that circulated heavily on social media, after hearing emotional testimony from the audience about race relations there. The video from last Wednesday showed Thomas’ being held back by his jacket by a plainclothes police officer who refused Thomas' demands that he be released. In it, the officer told Thomas that he was walking in the middle of the street. Thomas responded that he was avoiding sidewalk construction. Throughout the video, Thomas' frustration was apparent, and at one point Janet Rowle, a bystander who filmed the altercation, told the officer that Thomas was "scared." Thomas removed his jacket, then his shirt to escape the officer's grasp. A second officer arrived and arrested Thomas. The disturbing the peace charge against him has been dropped. Posted By Persist
