Apparently, a Boston police officer couldn’t even chase down a white suspect without racially profiling a Black man—imagine that.
Meet 20-year-old Donovan Johnson.
According to the Associated Press, Johnson was minutes away from home after leaving work in February 2021 when a white officer ran up to him, drew his gun, and threw him face first on the ground, which was covered in snow, according to a lawsuit filed against the town of Arlington, Massachusetts, and three of its officers. The officers, by the way, were chasing a white suspect at the time.
