Last weekend a video went viral of a fight between two teenagers at the Bridgewater Commons mall in Bridgewater Township, New Jersey. It shows two teen boys, one black and one white, arguing and pointing fingers until one shoves the other which leads to a fist fight. Others who were there at the time can be seen watching or filming with their phones. The altercation lasted only a couple minutes until police got involved which is the source of outrage.
The NAACP has gotten involved and says the officers should be removed while the investigation is ongoing.
Even Governor Phil Murphy chimed in on Twitter.
Reactions on Twitter seem to mostly be in favor of 14 year old Kye, identified in CBS New York’s report . He did not want his last name being used.
An investigation into this matter is ongoing.
