The FPD Used Their Power To Taunt & Name Call Blacks
Several instances of police abusing their power were present in the report. In one case, a young Black man standing outside a Wal-Mart in 2011 was called a “stupid motherf-cker” and threatened with arrest despite committing no crime. In 2012, an elderly Black man waiting in municipal court to pay a ticket apparently didn’t move fast enough for one officer who taunted him by saying he was “hooked on phonics.”
