Do you remember the Texas, Fort Worth video in which a black mother called the police because she said a white neigbor was trying to choke her son and accusing him of littering? The video that ended in violent arrest of the black mother and daughter after Officer William Martin sided with the white guy and even had the audacity to question why the mother did not teach her son not to litter! And that the white guy had a right to assault the son!

Well the Bodycam footage also leaked and even though the white officer was completely in the wrong and should have faced very harsh punishment, two black cops are instead the receivers of punishment for trying to do the right thing!

Theblackloop.com reported:

In an attempt to expose the racist conduct of one of their colleagues, two African American Dallas Fort Worth police officers are being disciplined NBC reports.

Deputy Chief Vance Keys (r.) and Assistant Chief Abdul Pridgen were demoted for leaking body camera footage of a controversial arrest in Dallas-Fort Worth, Tex., earlier this year. According to NBC, both officers were demoted to sergeant due to their alleged roles in the leak. Keyes also faces a three-day suspension. It appears that both men apparently left a digital trail that implicates them in the leak.

The files were discovered to have been downloaded from Pridgen’s computer and Keyes was allegedly present at the time. However, both Pridgen and Keyes reportedly have denied being the source of the leaks. Interestingly enough, Dallas Fort Worth Police Chief Joel Fitzgerald made a comment that demoting Pridgen and Keyes was one of the “most difficult decisions” he ever had to make. The chief said Pridgen and Keyes were “two men I trusted, called colleagues and called friends.”Sadly, he should have commented on his disappointment in the actions of Officer William Martin. However, it is widely known that police officers protect their own even when it is unjust.

And here is that bodycam footage:

Officer Martin’s only punishment was that he was suspended for 10 days. It’s unclear whether he received pay or not but lets face it, he probably did!
