"Newly released body camera footage of Georgia sheriffâs deputies stopping a majority-Black lacrosse team's bus shows the officers rifling through the playersâ personal items â after the sheriff asserted the deputies did no such thing. Liberty County Sheriff William Bowman said in a statement Tuesday that "no personal items on the bus or any person were searched.â But the body camera footage tells another story.
Footage obtained by the Delaware News Journal shows deputies going through several bags, digging through makeup, inspecting medicine, and even opening a wrapped gift. âIt gives me a sense of relief so that everybody else can see what they did to us and how we felt in that moment,â said Anderson, a rising junior. âThey were searching through our belongings and luggage for 20 minutes. I remember them going through my friendâs and she was saying, âThatâs my bag,â and they were looking through her panties.â
I mean it is human nature sometimes to immediately deny something when you are called out on it -- so I can understand the police habit to just deny it, even tho they know there is footage that will show they are lying...the key is to get the lie out first and hope the truth won't overpower that lie..and even if the truth makes it look bad, so what? It's the police....yea, some uppity black kids had their stuff searched thru, so what.....they deserved it.....if they want to avoid something like that, they should get their money up and charter a plane like a real university does....all of that talk about I will rise up against the government if they violate "my freedoms, my rights" is for real Americans who are upset that someone else they know had to pay grazing fees and stuff.....not this crap these college kids are mad about.....
