“Take Your Pants Off”: Cops Investigate Bizarre Hate Crime Video
“To think that somebody would be so brazen that they could point the weapon in the face of an unsuspecting citizen and then post it on social media — as if the Detroit police are going to stand idly by and do nothing.”
That’s Sgt. Michael Woody of Detroit police, commenting on their investigation into a potential hate crime in the wake of a bizarre and disturbing video that was recently posted online.
Heavy reports investigators are currently trying to track down the perpetrator and the victim. A man posted video footage on Twitter featuring him wagging a gun at a man he believes to be gay. To make matters worse, the suspect later posted another video featuring him bragging about the incident.
