Indianapolis, November 23 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Indiana, a white police officer has been fired after a viral video showed him harassing two African-American men for “acting suspicious” by spending over $1,000 at a shopping mall. 

Deputy constable Daryl Jones was working off-duty as a security guard at a Nordstrom Rack store in the Indianapolis suburb of Lawrence when he followed Aaron Blackwell and his cousin Durell Cunningham to their car in the mall parking lot, demanding to see their IDs. 

Blackwell recorded the interaction on his cell phone.  The video, showing the white officer questioning the two Black men for spending over $1,000 and demanding their IDs, has gone viral.   And the racist cop is currently unemployed.
