The alleged incident took place on the evening of Saturday, Dec. 23, when Wilkerson was arrested after allegedly fleeing from police, according to a statement from Reeves.

Reeves' statement, which does not directly name Wilkerson, said that the juvenile was charged with obstructing governmental operations and resisting arrest, both of which are misdemeanors. The officer involved in the incident has not been publicly identified, but Reeves said that the officer is on leave pending the state investigation into the incident.

5. Graphic? Yes. But the truth of it "trumps" the graphic part of it: truth is graphic.

of the jackals in blue behind the jackak-in-chief POS calling himself potus is enough to convince me that most police just don't give a fuck about life, especially if they are white and their 'perp' is AA. I will never trust them again.
