An investigation is underway into how officers handled a brawl between two teenagers at a mall in New Jersey.
BRIDGEWATER, N.J. --
A Black eighth grader had two officers kneel on his back to handcuff him while the other teenager involved in the fight is seen sitting on a sofa. Kye says the fight broke out after he stood up for a friend who was getting picked on by the other teen."If they don't know how to treat the situation and deal with the situation equally and fairly, then they shouldn't be able to deal with the situation at all," he said."Maybe they could have broken up the fight and maybe set them aside and called their parents, no cuffs, no aggression, dealt with them like they were teenagers," she said.
Meanwhile, Kye and his mother say they are grateful for the support, and they hope when it comes to the officers, more will be done."I'm not happy about it, and I do want those two cops to become unemployable. That's what I would like," Ebone said.His mom says right now they are choosing not to say whether they feel the incident was racially motivated.
