Handcuffed in his own home

<snip>
An African American homeowner says he endured the "most humiliating experience of my life" when white police officers answered a false burglar alarm at his North Carolina home and ended up placing him in handcuffs at gunpoint and walking him to a police car in just his underwear as his neighbors watched.

"I was counting the seconds because I thought he was going to kill me," Kazeem Oyeneyin, 31, told ABC News on Saturday of the confrontation with police at his home in Raleigh. "He was shaking the gun. All he has to do is slip and hit that trigger and I'm dead.

"The Department is looking into this incident and reviewing our officers' actions," Raleigh police said in a statement to Durham ABC station WTVD. "We have attempted to contact the homeowner several times over the past few days to discuss this incident with him."

Oyeneyin said the episode occurred on Aug. 17, when a friend who was staying at his home left and triggered his home security system.

1. WTF?!?! I would think the fact he was in

his underwear would be a hint that he lives there.

2. I'm glad he's not discussing anything with them

Sue the racist scumbag

3. Completely agree. The only person he

needs to be talking to about this is an attorney.
