A police officer in suburban Indianapolis has been fired after video of his confrontation with two Black customers at a department store went viral.

Lawrence Township Deputy Constable Daryl Jones approached cousins Aaron Blackwell and Durell Cunningham as they were driving out of the parking lot of a Nordstrom Rack store, as seen in a clip posted to YouTube by Blackwell last week.

Chief Constable Terry Burns fired Jones immediately after viewing the footage, according to NBC affiliate WTHR.

“He was terminated last night when the video was brought to my attention. I did see the video and made the decision immediately and that pretty speaks of my reaction,” Burns said, according to local station RTV6.

1. I think that's at least the second time a black customer has been harrassed at the Nordstrom Rack.

What? Are African-Americans not allowed to shop for deals on upscale clothing?



Glad they fired that asshole cop...
