The number of problems brewing with direct regard to law enforcement has been plenty. Recently, the tensions between Blacks and police officers has ensued, as simply “looking while Black” has emerged as a crime in itself.

John Felton, a Black man, was followed by a police officer for nearly two miles while driving to his mother’s house in Dayton. Feeling uneasy, he decided to recordthe entire incident in full on his cell phone for proof to support his claim, in case anything should have happened. The officer finally stopped tailing Felton, pulling him over for failing to signal “100 feet prior to his turn.” A perplexed Felton answered, “You’ve been tailing me for how long? You just needed a reason to pull me over. No disrespect, I don’t have nothing against police officers, but all this sh*t that’s going on now? That’s some scary sh*t. To have a police officer just tail you, and then you pull me over, ’cause you said I didn’t signal — what? Do you know how it looks?”

After running Felton’s identification and his passengers as well, the officer admitted the real reason as to why he was pulled over. “Because you made direct eye contact with me, and you held on to it while I was passing you,” the officer said. In the footage, a rightfully frustrated Felton tries to explain to the officer that he didn’t even see him. “I’m not going to argue you with you about it anymore, you can keep talking and I can give you your license back and give you a citation for the violation and we settle it in court,” said the officer, cutting Felton’s reply short.

This incident happened back in July and is just now beginning to spark conversation via social media after being obtained by The David Pakman Show. The footage was even aired on Dayton’s WKEF on Thursday (Aug. 27) night. Prior to its airing, Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl had not returned the local station’s calls and emails requesting comment, but later offered that they were “aware of the video and reviewing it” via the department’s Twitter account.
