Rochester Police in Minnesota Detain Black Man Mistaking Him For Someone Else, Left Embarrassed After The Accused Claimed To Be An FBI Agent And Shows ID Card.

Rochester, June 1: Amid "racism" charges levelled against the police in United States following the murder of George Floyd, a video has come to the fore which has drawn further flak towards the country's law enforcement officials. In the footage being widely shared, the police is seen racially profiling and arresting a black man in Rochester, Minnesota. After he claimed to be an FBI agent and showed his ID card, the cops were left embarrassed. Upon further scrutinising the clip, it was found that video is a year-old and the man was not a personnel of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. 

In the footage of five minutes and twenty seconds, the cops could be seen approaching the black man and asking him about his details. After the latter refused to accept that he was the person against whom they had issued a warrant, the police personnel pressed upon him to show his ID card.

The black man refused and told the police personnel to "stop harassing him". Unmoved, the cops forcibly handcuffed him and removed his wallet to ascertain his identity. On checking the ID card, they were left embarrassed as he was reportedly revealed as an "FBI agent". Netizens, however, later found that the suspect was not an FBI personnel.
