Can you take him home? Yeah All right, I'm gonna release you to her and we're gonna submit it over and the courts are going to reach out to you, okay?

Listen He's walking down the road Okay He sees me He's clutching his... waist area Listen Listen I'm walking home - It's cold - He's clutching his waist area walking away Listen Okay He sees me, looks multiple times to make sure I'm not following him I drive down the road and park and he turns around and starts walking the other way Still clutching his crotch - So this is - It's so cold outside Listen I'm walking home Boys do that I know, but I just have to make sure that he doesn't have a gun on him Is this Chicago? Is this Chicago? Because he's not listening to me This is the second time I just need his name We're not telling you nothing until (unintelligible) Yeah, we're not tell... (Unintelligible) Listen, when people commit crimes they act the way he was acting, okay? So if I get called, say, in six minutes for a man in a gray shirt and gray car - Oh - Listen - That's six minutes from now - Stop, watch Listen What does that have to do - why is he in handcuffs? - He is a - He was - minor - showing me every sign of - (Unintelligible) - committing a crime - walking home - Trying to continue to walk away - But, what, what what was the crime? I... I'm walking home, I don't like police - My dad’s in prison - There could be anything So what was the crime he committed? So he - appeared as if he could have had - What, what - a weapon - was the crime - he committed - Sir You're not listening, I just told you - He's shaking - He didn't, he didn't - There's reasonable suspicion - I didn't hear no crime He's shaking, I didn't do nothing - I didn't hear no crime - (Unintelligible) crime There's reasonable suspicion that he had a weapon - No, absolutely not... - What? - did you find it? - Wha... - What (unintelligible) - Listen Nah... Did you feel a weapon? You're not listening, he had a pocket knife, which he was nervous about I was walking home, walking home - I'm always... - Where's home? Down the street Okay, can I talk to his mother? That's not my mother, that's my auntie I'm just trying to or who do you live with? I was going to her house Okay, can I talk to your aunt, please? The immediate concern had eased but questions remained As the family arrived the same behavior drew two very different interpretations So he's wearing his face covering Are you listening? Yeah Okay, he's wearing his face covering He sees a patrol car He walks away clutching his crotch and is looking back multiple times to make sure I'm not coming up to him So when people grab their crotch area, we can it's fair to assume, especially in the Washington Heights, that they could have a firearm - Yep - Especially with how many people have been shooting each other Right, well he don't have no firearm Listen so I drove down the road just past him, and he's panicking looking at me I stop at the end of the road He panics looking at me, turns around starts walking the other way, making sure I'm not following him So I'm just like, "Hey, can you just come talk to me and make sure you don't got any weapons?" Cuz people have been shooting at each other So he don't have a weapon He had a pocket knife He had a pocket knife on him, and he was very nervous So then he starts trying to pull away from me and freaking out And I'm like, look, it's no big deal We took his pocket knife out of his pocket I'm like, just give me your name and we'll be on our way And he's refusing to give me his name and starts freaking out trying to walk away So all I'm asking is for his name cuz he's, uh, e... exhibiting so many he's exhibiting so many signs of committing crimes People don't do that kind of stuff So that's all I'm asking for his name and I'm going to be on my way Okay I was just... I'm so confused, though What makes you think just cuz he's walking and grabbing his - Because that is of... - What if he's pulling up his pants? No, but it wasn't He was holding it and walking for a long, long time Come on, you know that's what boys do So do he have... He don't have a gun though - He's a kid - No - He's only 16 years old - No I, I agree, but he was very, very nervous So I have to check Why does that matter? If we're not in (unintelligible) I'm confused If he's not being If we're not being, like Because if I get called Like, I just tried to explain to him he didn't care But if I get called in three minutes and he, we get a - call about him - You got called about him for what? Listen, he... everything he was exhibiting was, "I just committed a - crime, and I'm afraid of the police" - Why was he even walking around here? I'm confused Can you take the handcuffs off of him? This is tight He can take his handcuffs off But he ain't, he just can't leave right now But, like, that's just not normal - Everything he was doing - It is normal Y'all gotta stop doing that saying something not normal - You want guns off the street? - cuz he grabbing his pants You want drugs off the street? - He just told me he shouldn't even... - This is what happens... - Why are you walking around here? - I'm, I'm just asking I, I wanted to know why he was walking around here, cuz I'm confused on why he came around here I'm just trying to figure out why he - even came around here - Okay (Unintelligible) argument He started walking to home Okay, but we're just trying to make sure everyone's safe Everyone's safe And everything he was doing exhibited I just committed a crime I'm telling you, nobody walks an entire block with his hand on their... I just passed him Jesus, he walks like all the time And triple-checking to see if we're fi... He does this to me, he - walks like this all the time - We're good - Y'all definitely... - But it's... No But pockets is different than holding my waistband I was like this and I was... It's cold out... With one hand and the other one's walking? Yes I got stopped for no reason (Unintelligible) So you want us to check nobody? - Everybody can just walk - Everyone can have guns and shoot at each other, right? - Michigan is not a stop and ID state - Perfect Have fun with this community That's reasonable suspicion - Reasonable suspicion - No, I understand - I'm not saying that you're wrong for - Okay wanting to, uh make sure the community's safe I'm not saying that you're wrong I want you to make sure the community's safe because I want my nephew to be safe But at the same time it's ways to make sure we're safe without - arrest, putting - How? him in handcuffs The only reason he was in cuffs is cuz he continued to...
