Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) host of The Young Turks discusses Philadelphia police officers detaining a black college student after he beats them in a game of pick up basketball.
“A video from the city of brotherly love has gone viral of 21 year old Samir Hill, a point guard at Allegany College of Maryland, beating a pair of police officers at a game of pickup basketball with a fellow friend. Hill had been playing with some neighborhood kids when the two officers had approached and started ‘trash talking’ so Hill challenged them to a game. Now that the video of Hill easily scoring on the officers has gone viral they have attempted on several occasions to arrest him on obviously bogus charges.
The video clips have been shared on social media as well as Hill’s story, gaining him support from several professional athletes.”
