Outrage after NJ police tackled teen, 13 — who they mistook for tattooed 22-year-old suspect
NY Post
Police tackled a 13-year-old boy they somehow mistook for a tatted-up 22-year-old suspect at a deli in New Jersey on Friday, sparking an internal investigation as the teen’s family demands accountability.
Alkyair Williams, 13, popped inside Jenny Deli and Grocery in East Orange on Friday afternoon — and was jumped by six officers while purchasing a T-shirt, according to harrowing surveillance footage obtained by WABC.
The teen was facing the exit when the first officer stormed inside and pinned him against a stack of boxes. Five other officers rushed inside seconds later and dogpiled on top of Alkyair once he was knocked to the ground, according to the video.
Two other officers kept Alkyair’s mother, Amirah Williams, outside of the deli. When they finally allowed her to enter, the battered teen was standing near the counter, his hands cuffed behind his back.
Amirah told the outlet that the officers never explained what was happening to Alkyair.
“I’m trying to see why y’all got my son right here? He said, mistaken identity. I said mistaken identity for who? For who? He said, a 22-year-old with dreads and visible tattoos. I said look at my son, do he look like he 22? Do he have visible tattoos? He don’t even have dreads,” Amirah recounted.
