I watched this in shock. He was on his own property and just picking up trash. He is so right saying that eight cops came because he held a trash pickup stick and is black. He never threatened them, he was justifiably angry. I hope more cops are put on unpaid leave. Suspicious in a bad neighborhood I can understand their reasoning to a point. But being black is now justification for pointing guns while picking up trash??? Cleaning. Not trashing.

Imagine, a black man in a Colorado neighborhood. The horror

A viral cell phone video of multiple white police officers, some with guns drawn, confronting a black man who claimed he was just picking up trash on his own property has prompted an internal affairs investigation by the Boulder, Colorado, Police Department.

"You're on my property with a gun in your hand, threatening to shoot me because I'm picking up trash," the man in the 16-minute video, posted on YouTube, screams at a Boulder officer during the confrontation.

The officer radioed for back-up, saying the man was "being uncooperative and unwilling to put down a blunt object," the police statement reads.

"I don't have a weapon," the man yells, screaming expletives at the officer and demanding him to get off his property.

Within minutes, other officers arrived on the scene, at least one holding a shotgun, the video shows.

"This is my property. I live here," the man yells.

One of the officers tells the man to "just relax" and another orders him to sit on the ground.

The man eventually put down his bucket and trash grabber and the police officer who first questioned the man holstered his weapon, according to the video.

"Officers ultimately determined that the man had a legal right to be on the property and returned the man's school identification card. All officers left the scene and no further action was taken," the police statement reads.

News of the incident spread throughout Boulder, prompting a large and angry crowd to attend the Boulder City Council Meeting Tuesday night, many in attendance holding metal trash grabbers.

"This is an extremely concerning issue, and one that we are taking very seriously," Boulder Police Chief Greg Testa told the city council.

Testa said the officer who first confronted the man has been placed on administrative leave, pending the outcome of the internal affairs investigation. He did not identify the officer.

Don't pretend this hasn't happened under previous Presidents.

These policemen need a serious lesson in anger management or sack them.
