READ STORY BELOW 👇. STORY: Deputy #JamesCady confronts #AllenFloyd, an African-American father calmly holding his infant, angrily drops f-bombs and calls Floyd “boy” before appearing to grab Floyd by the throat. Floyd wasn’t under investigation for any crime. Nor was he being belligerent towards #Cady “Deputy Cady’s verbal assault coupled with him choking an otherwise cooperative bystander can only be characterized as unlawful touching,” Finkelstein wrote. “In addition, Deputy Cady’s use of the term “boy” is offensive, condescending and demeaning. It carries racial connotations when used while addressing an adult black male.” In the official report on the incident, Cady’s presence isn’t even noted, although the video shows he played a key role. The bodycam video picks up with Cady asking Floyd, who is holding his child and sitting on a curb, if he has a separate room at the motel. Then, Cady demands, three times, to see Floyd’s identification. Floyd shows Cady pictures on his phone, apparently to show he’s the child’s father, a gesture Cady disdains. Finally, after Floyd shakes his head at Cady, Cady says, “OK, fine, I’m going to take her to jail because she’s got a warrant and I’m going to call child services on this kid!” When Floyd starts to say something, Cady says, “Quit f----- with me, boy! You hear me? Get your ID! Now!” Bridgman’s voice chimes in, “ID!” Dardy, who had been in a car, appears and Cady says, “Get your ass back in the car! I’m tired of you f----- playing games!” As Cady angrily repeats his demand for Floyd’s identification, Floyd asks, “Why are you being so hostile?” Cady answers, “Because you’re giving me s--- and I’m tired of it!” Eventually Cady says, “I want to know who this baby is going with!” and Floyd replies, “He’s going with me, Allen Floyd.” Floyd rises from the curb, still holding his child in his left arm. Cady steps toward him. Floyd turns to walk away and says, “Stop calling me ‘boy!’ via miamiherald - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BtwjBSUHulL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rf2q17hivee8
