Bodycam footage raises doubts about state rep's racism claim for traffic stop: 'Driving while Black'
Fox News
Minnesota police released bodycam footage taken during a traffic stop with state Rep. John Thompson that appears to contradict his claim he was pulled over for “driving while Black.”
"I don't think I took off like a bat out of hell, I just drove off," Thompson replies. The officer asks Thompson for proof of insurance in the video, which the politician says is on his phone and notes that he is a state representative in the district. The officer asks about his Wisconsin driver’s license and returns to his vehicle for roughly 14 minutes.More Related News
