Police response to N.J. mall fight sparks outrage after Black teen cuffed as white teen watches
New Jersey police are under fire for their response to a fistfight after a Black eighth grader was pinned to the ground and handcuffed while a white teen involved in the weekend mall scuffle was left seated on a couch. The fight, which took place Saturday at Bridgewater Commons in Bridgewater Township, New Jersey, was captured on video and prompted a review of the officers’ conduct, as well as strong words from the governor.
Video of the incident shows a group of young people gathered in a seating area at the mall and two boys, one white and one Black, standing up in a verbal altercation. The Black teen, Z’Kye Husain, 14, said the dispute started when he stood up to the other boy, who is older, for picking on his friend. “He was kind of saying, like, ‘You’re a little kid, you’re my little pet,’ and stuff like that,” he toldNBC New York.
The confrontation escalated with the two throwing punches at each other as onlookers shouted, according to the video. After several seconds of punching, two uniformed Bridgewater police officers ran onto the scene and pulled the two apart. One officer pushed the white teen into a seated position on the couch, according to the video. Meanwhile, Z’Kye, already on the ground, was pinned onto his stomach by a male officer, with the officer’s knee appearing to be on his back. A female officer then helped, placing her knee near the back of Z’Kye’s neck as they put him in handcuffs, according to the clip.

Generally, those who want to deny that the police have a distinct, observable, and implemented bias against people of color (POC), specifically black me, always claim that one is comparing apples and oranges. In other words, they claim there were distinct differences in events.
Dylann Roof, the mass murderer who went into a black church and killed nine members, was treated with kid gloves. The cops even bought him a burger. But Philando Castile was immediately gunned down after following the officer’s orders who stopped him. Levar Jones was shot multiple times following police orders among hundreds or more police attacks on POCs.
In this particular incident, it was the same fight. Officers couldn’t know who was at fault. When they broke up the altercation, the instigator and bully, who is white and older, was given the child’s treatment while the younger child, who was protecting others from the bully, got the treatment of a common hoodlum. That is the police bias in real-time during the same event.
