The Boston Police Department is facing criticism from civil rights activists after video emerged appearing to show a tense exchange between a white police officer and the black pedestrian he stopped and questioned for more than two minutes.
The man says he was walking to the barbershop last week in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood when he noticed an unmarked police cruiser circle around him and stop, ABC Boston affiliate WCVB reported.
In the video, recorded on the man's cellphone, the officer in the passenger seat of the car asks the man if his name is Kevin.
"You look like someone we're looking to speak to," the officer is seen saying in the video.
