On Monday night in Lafayette Park near the White House in Washington D.C., a black park police officer stood his ground silently while a white man who allegedly was pushed by the officer after the white man had reportedly put his hands on a police officer got in the face of the black officer and started abusing him, ranting, “Your child is gonna say you’re a piece of s***. Your mom is gonna say you’re a piece of s***. And if your mother doesn’t, I feel sorry for her. I feel sorry for your family. You’re a piece of s***. You’re a piece of s***. You really are. You really are. You’re part of the f***ing problem.”

Turning to another cop, the man sneered in his face, “I’ll be in your face all I want,” before pointing at the black cop and saying, “Tell this b***a** (unintelligible) to stop putting his hands on people.”
