From [HERE ] Video of the incident on Conti Street in the French Quarter has outraged many and prompted calls for the FBI and the City Council to investigate the actions of plain clothes law enforcement as they took down two young Black teens on February 10th. FOX 8 obtained a copy of the police report, written by Detective Bret Mathes of the NOPD. Mathes was the only NOPD officer who was part of the plain clothes detail, which included eight undercover State Troopers.
According to the police report, one of the State Troopers observed the two young men in the 700 block of Conti and they appeared to be in violation of the city's curfew laws.
It says the officers displayed their law badges and verbally announced themselves as police officers as they approached the two subjects. Detectives Mathes states that one of the subjects attempted to flee. Only a racist/white supremacist suspect could believe such nonsense (when you hear the sound of hooves do you think of horses or unicorns?).
The video speaks for itself. The officers approach quickly as the boys appear to have their backs turned to the white men. All the officers are wearing jeans and other casual attire - one has on a backwards baseball cap, another has beads around his neck. Why would such violent force be used simply to investigate a non-violent offense? [white supremacy ]
