Bodycam footage released shows the arrest of a black man on his own porch in in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Officer Travis Cole and another female officer approached Dejuan Yourse sitting on his porch on June 17th. They were said to be investigating a possible break-in.

Yourse explains he is waiting for his mom, as he did everyday, she has lived there for 10 years. He shows his ID which has the address listed, he tries to call his mom.

Yet, still the police officer slams him to the ground and arrested him. He was charged with resisting arrest and assault on government officials.

The officer was stripped of his badge as the Huff Post reported:

City council members in Greensboro, North Carolina voted this week to strip the law enforcement credentials of a police officer who is accused of violently arresting a man sitting on his porch after body camera footage of the arrest was made public.

The council voted unanimously Monday to permanently sanction Officer Travis Cole for using excessive force during the June arrest. The body camera footage shows Cole roughly throwing Dejuan Yourse to the floor of the porch and punching him as Yourse waited for his mom to come home and let him into the house, according to local news WREG.

The council pushed for criminal charges against Cole, but the district attorney refused, saying he wouldn’t “rehash the same evidence,” the Greensboro News & Record reported.

But really, this isn’t enough. The video in our original article showed a clear approach, harassment.

If Police Brutality is to be stopped the garbage needs to be collected and put on display. He needs to be made an example of, needs his badge stripped, needs his police pension taken away and needs to be made to publicly apologize for what he did!
