Similar to How Racists Use their Ballots, a White Woman Got 3 White Alameda Cops to Control & Plunder a Black Man by Reporting “an African American Dancing" in the bike lane in Early AM

UNLESS & UNTIL AUTHORITY SAYS SO, BIKE LANES ARE ONLY FOR USE BY WHITE JOGGERS & BICYCLISTS. From [FTP] and [HERE] Mali Watkins, a 44-year-old martial artist, works out in the mornings and quite literally dances along the street. Despite the frequent and entirely harmless nature of his dancing white cops beat him down in the street for it. Police bodycam footage shows the moment he was pinned to the ground and arrested in northern California last month after a racist suspect woman called 911 to report 'an African American man dancing in the street.'  

Videos of the May 23 incident were released on Monday by Alameda city officials, who have called for an independent investigation into the man's arrest.   

Two police officers had arrived at a residential area on Central Avenue just before 8am, after receiving a call from a woman who said: 'an African-American man is dancing in the street... clearly something is wrong with him.'

The cops are seen approaching Mali Watkins, a 44-year-old martial artist, who neighbors say is known for exercising outside daily.

During the encounter, Watkins is heard becoming frustrated while officers question him and then tell him he's being detained for dancing on the street.

'Is there any particular reason you're not doing it on the sidewalk?' the cop asks. 

When the officer orders to detain him, Watkins asks: 'For what?'  

'You're dancing on the street,' the cop replies. The white cops then grab and pile on him in the name of authority and to en-force an unknown street ordinance wherein which the masters have ruled that dancing is not permitted on their streets.

He was later cited for resisting arrest. fuck the police, fuck the government.
