Does not look good for the officers unless the black boy resisted the officers directions

Two New Jersey cops are investigated after they pinned black boy, 14, on ground and arrested him
after he got into fight with white teen who was allowed to walk

Disturbing video footage captured two boys fighting at a New Jersey mall on February 13

Bridgewater police arrived at the scene, and while one cop pulled the white boy away, the other tackled the black boy to the ground and placed him under arrest

One of the cops then placed her knee on the teen's neck while he was lying face down on the ground

The white boy was allowed to walk away, leading some to call the police force out for its 'racially disparate' treatment

Police said in a statement that prosecutors are investigating the situation

The white boy who was involved in the fight said even he considered the outcome to be unfair

Let's see how the story evolves, but as initially reported this is pretty much a textbook example of what some people have been protesting.

Not the cops place to make judgement on what happened. Either take both in and let someone else sort it out, or let both go if things had returned to order.
