5:37Now PlayingCops harass and abuse African-Americans every day in America. Usually you don’t hear about it, but when it’s the son of a Daily Beast editor, you do. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Daily Beast editor Goldie Taylor took to Twitter on Saturday to relate the story of her son who was held by undercover police with a Taser when he innocently tried to sell his MacBook via Craigslist.
According to Taylor, her son Josh contacted her on Friday after the prospective “buyer” of the laptop approached him on the street only to have another undercover officer slip up behind him and press a weapon to his back before handcuffing him.
Taylor relates that her son — a young black man — told her, “Mom, if I had moved they could’ve killed me and gotten away with it.”
Over a series of tweets, Taylor explained that her son had agreed to meet with an actual buyer — who later emailed to apologize and blamed the police — when he was cuffed while officers scanned his laptop to see if it was stolen.
After discovering he was the rightful owner, the undercover officers apologized and uncuffed him, yet never showed ID to the young man during the the entire incident.”*
