A disturbing confrontation was caught on police body camera video in Nassau County. A 33-year-old Black man was tased by white officers for failing to provide identification during a suspected jaywalking incident. McLoganTV spoke to the plaintiff.
A 33-year-old Black man was shocked with a stun gun by white officers for failing to provide identification during a suspected jaywalking incident.
It was April of this year when Merritt, 33, had a run in with 1st Precinct officers of Nassau County. It was caught on body camera. The video shows police demanding Merritt's identification for jaywalking. It was in Baldwin, crossing Grand Avenue where Merritt said he was first confronted by Nassau County police. Merritt, who works for a building supply company, said he and a correction officer buddy were trying to get their friend's motorcycle started by pushing it out of the lot and into the street. Officers looked on from a gas station, and Merritt said instead of helping, demanded his ID. Body camera video shows officers demand he get on the ground.
Mollins said they will file a $1 million lawsuit for excessive and unjustified force and harassment. "I think if I had been a female or a white male trying to help someone, it wouldn't have happened," Marc Merritt said.
