Kendal keith, the man who was seen in a social media video being forcefully removed from his vehicle by officers details his experience.
On August 16 at around 8:25 p.m., Keith, his fiancee and child were driving when he says he saw a truck barreling behind him, slamming on its brakes, and running over the curve.
Realizing what could’ve happened if the truck didn’t stop, Keith got out of the vehicle outraged. An altercation occurred between keith and two passengers in the truck.
Keith’s fiancée called 9-1-1, but when authorities arrived on scene, he says a different situation unfolded.
“It was so, so, so horrible, and especially to have my son to sit there and look at me and say ‘I thought they were good cops’ is something that I would never be okay with because you put on your badge–you’re supposed to protect and serve,” said Keith.
Keith also says this incident has left him and his family feeling unsafe in their community.
