BeverlySearcy Chicago has had this problem as long as the Dems have been in control. Read history.

Let Hertz put you in the driver’s seat...today!

Lol. Arrest first, ask questions later. Good he got money, but the trauma....

That’s the reality of being black in America.

Is Savannah Guthrie going to have him in a special interview so he can tell his story? Or is that just for elitist wealthy family members only who can afford to hire a PR firm?

Wow, an apologie wouldn't be enough. Glad he was compensated.

SavannahGuthrie I look forward to your interview with this gentleman.

Crazy that taxpayers have to pay for the mistakes of others. 1.25m? crazy. The officer should be held accountable but why is it always tax $$$ and then we’re all suppose to speak out too. I agree this was handled very badly and I did feel sorry for the student, now he’s rich.

Driving (YOUR) car while black...🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

Great mews. Remember the man in DC arrested for going into his home. People of color have overcome.

💰💰💰

Turned out? It was his own

GOOD This racist profiling of blacks and other minorities in America must STOP We are a Diverse Nation of IMMIGRANTS...all should be treated equally.

It seems that heavy financial punishment is the only thing that will correct institutionalised racism. We can’t rely on the intelligence and innate decency of individual cops.
