Two cops stopped me, Akia recounted to KFDM.
They walked out with their hands on their guns, and then they asked me to see my ID.
She was not walking on this side of the road, the officer said.
What does it matter?

The couple tried protesting, but the two responding officers called for backup.
Akia was then ticketed for a traffic violation.
I dont feel safe in my own neighborhood, not from people but from the police department.
Her attorney, Langston Adams, remains firmly on her side, believing the incident wasracially motivated.
Its not a question of whether she was breaking the law, he told KFDM.
We believe its selective enforcement and racial profiling.
Why didnt the husband get a ticket?
He was also walking on the wrong side of the road and hes white.
I believe they used her walking on the wrong side of the road as a pretext to stop her.
Enforcement of the law is not selective, and no one is above it.
He added, Allegations of misconduct are taken seriously and thoroughly investigated through appropriate channels.
And people still dont believe white privilege is real.
Theyre just making sh*t up.
Walking on the wrong side of the street hmm?
a third chimed in.
Wonder if theyll start arresting people for using the wrong water fountain next?
Theres no defending this sh*t. Blatant racial profiling.
It has always floated around, with its roots being traced back to the early days of policing.
The incident escalated when police approached with their hands on their guns, prompting Brad to record the confrontation.
Protests and outrage sparked under Floyds name as a wave of racial unrest followed.
Comments slammed the police department for their actions
