- Yo, working at Nandos is so long, I physically cannot wait to be in my bed finally!
- Slayt: 3
- Officer Gordon and Officer Blake sound their sirens and pull a U turn after seeing Kareem walk by.
- Slayt: 4
- Oh, I didn't know he was going to start that aggressive. I guess I have to back my colleague. I hope it's just some light questioning though.
- OI! You! stop right there in the name of the law. If you move another inch, we're about to have problems!
- Slayt: 5
- What the hell? Officer, what's the problem? Have I done somethi-
- Slayt: 6
- What is going on right now? I feel like I should record this just in case. These police be getting out of hand sometimes
- What did I tell you? Shut up! You matched our description perfectly so do as your told. Hands where I can see them!
- Hey! Leave me alone! I haven't done anything wrong. I'm just trying to get home..
- Slayt: 7
- Hey! OW, stop please! You're hurting me, please!
- Oh my Gosh! Stop you're hurting him. He hasn't done anything!
- Slayt: 8
- Crowds start to form and protest against Officer Gordons actions.
- People like you just don't understand that we have power and authority over you! Now shut the hell up! *punches Kareem in the face*
- Slayt: 9
- Oh shut it before I have you all arrested! You guys are the criminals!
- NO JUSTICE NO PEACE!
- Black Lives Matter! You racist police aren't getting away with this!
- Slayt: 11
- Oh quit ramping and be quiet! You're alive aren't you? Be thankful I spared you. You people are so ungrateful. I could've done a lot worse...
- This is so wrong I can't even sit comfortably..
- Slayt: 12
- This is where you belong. Hope you enjoy.Blake, stop looking weak! Pick yourself up and let's go. We haven't done anything wrong.
- Slayt: 13
- Hey Gordon.. That was really rough and to be honest I don't agree with you. That boy is innocent, he didn't even come from the direction of the crime scene.
- Get over yourself. This is how we do things in my house! One less black boy in our streets and our job is done. Go home Blake. Clearly you need sleep.
- Slayt: 14
- As Officer Blake packs her things to leave for the day, she walks past the Chiefs office and hesitated going in and filing a report against her own partner, Gordon.
- Slayt: 15
- Chief.. I have some news on the arrest that Gordon and I did today. Gordon unlawfully arrested and assaulted that boy. A girl even recorded it, I wouldn't be shocked if we have a ruckus in the city because of this.
- Blake, are you sure? This is something serious if you're right. I will start an investigation immediately. Thank you for informing me. I will not forget this.
- Slayt: 16
- Officer Blake quickly shamefully lowers her head and shuffles on behind Gordon, eyes full of tears.
- Slayt: 17
- *ping* *ping* *bzzt**bzzt**bzzt*
- Slayt: 18
- Not only did she have a sickly feeling about leaving Kareem in the cells, but she knew it was morally wrong. Quickly she slips into the Chiefs office.
- Oh my Gosh! I went viral! I mean as I should of course but now people are taking to the streets to protest. I should get ready too.
- Slayt: 20
- My community will not fail me. God will not fail me. I will make it out and I will get justice for this! No Justice No Peace!
- Oi! On your feet. Time for my favourite part. Interrogation...
- Slayt: 21
- Right so what did you steal that night of the robbery? I now you were there so don't even lie to me.
- I wasn't there. I already told you I was walking home from work. Please just leave me alone.
- Slayt: 22
- Gordon! That's enough! Leave it to me. And while you're at it, I would like for a full report on this arrest. Times, names, everything.
- Slayt: 23
- Sorry for the commotion son. You didn't deserve this. Trust me I will crack down on this and find out the truth of this case. So tell me, what happened?
- Slayt: 24
- NO JUSTICE NO PEACE! NO RACIST POLICE!
- The entire city took to the streets to protest the unlawful arrest of Kareem, bringing attention from all around the country.
- Slayt: 25
- I'm sorry Gordon, I had to. It was wrong. That boy is someone's son, friend, brother. He didn't deserve any of that. He is just a kid.
- Oh crap! I didn't think it would get this serious. I was just messing.. right Blake? You didn't mention this to Chief did you?! No, its fine it'll blow over. No one really cares about these people.
- Slayt: 26
- Are you sure? You people have already done me wrong once before. I don't want to fall for this again.
- Kareem, this is Ms. Riviera. She will be representing your case in court. Don't worry you can trust her. She is one of our best lawyers.
- Slayt: 27
- Right Kareem, good news. I took the liberty of contacting your manager to see if you were really at work, and she confirmed.
- I know I was. I told you guys I wasn't involved in whatever crime happened that day.
- Slayt: 28
- Officer Gordon will not get away with this. I assure you we will bring him down. Be patient and trust in me.
- Thank you, this is relieving to hear honestly. Can I ask a favour though? Can I call my mum, she has to be worried about me.
- Slayt: 29
- Court is now in session. Today we are here to discuss the act of the unlawful arrest of Kareem Bronsen, done by Officer Dave Gordon
- Don't be scared. We're going to get through this.
- Slayt: 30
- Can the defendant please state their case? Mr. Gordon, the floor is yours.
- Officer Gordon then continues to lie about the entire interaction that he had with Kareem. Kareem visibily becomes frustrated with the lies but Ms. Riviera calms him and tells him to be patient.
- We then continued to see Kareem run from the direction of the scene, looking suspicious. When we stopped him, he resisted and tried to assault me. So I arrested him and brought him in.
- Slayt: 31
- Thank you, Officer Gordon. Now can the plaintiff and his counsel state their side of the story.
- Gladly, Your Honor. My client was on his way home when he was ruthlessly attacked by Officer Gordon, in front of witnesses. Just ask his partner, Officer Blake and she will testify. There is also video proof that this man is a liar.
- My manager can even prove I was at work that day.
- Slayt: 32
- Bring in Officer Blake! And bring me the video evidence and the written document proving Kareem was at work that day.
- Slayt: 33
- Good afternoon. Miss Blake. As you are on the witness stand it is illegal to lie. Can you recall to us what happened on that day?
- As Officer Blake is called to the stand, she sits shamefully with her head down avoiding all eye contact with her colleague, even though she knew it was the right thing to do.
- Slayt: 34
- Yes, Your Honor, Officer Gordon and I were driving around when the robbery was called in. We weren't really that close or given a description of the criminal. Gordon chuckled once he had seen Kareen and decided to go and assert his dominance, I guess.
- Gordon has sat there and lied to you, Your Honor. He arrested and assaulted Kareem for no reason. That poor boy had done nothing wrong.
- Slayt: 35

- Officer Gordon stood in complete silence and embarrassment after he realised his colleague had thrown him under the bus.
- Slayt: 37
- Silence! I don't need to hear or see anymore. Gordon you should be severely ashamed of yourself! I cant believe you can call yourself a police officer.
- Your Honor, .. I- I can explain! This is fake informa-
- Slayt: 38
- Mr Gordon I am so upset with you. Lying in my court, assaulting a minor, falsifying an arrest. I will do everything in my power that you see the inside of a prison cell. Take him away! Mr. Bronsen I am so sorry you went through this. You are free to go home.
- Slayt: 39
- Kareem walked out of the station hand in hand with Ms. Riviera and his mother, unaware of the support and commotion that was waiting for him outside.
- Slayt: 40
- Thank you guys for the support. I truly can't believe it. However the fight is never over. Corrupt police are everywhere and we need to erase them. NO JUSTICE NO PEACE!

- Charlize and Joey cheer and jeer the police car on as it rolls around the corner, laughing to each other.
- Shut up when I'm talking to you! Where are you coming from?! And what's that in your pocket? Is it drugs???
- ... I don't know too much about this.
- Oh damn.. This is getting bad. Gordon is doing too much and that girl is recording!
- Hey! Put the camera down! Stop before I come over there!
- What the hell is wrong with you people?! You're supposed to be protecting us, not beating on us. How can you call yourselves police officers and this is how you act??
- This video is going everywhere! TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, what the heck even Facebook. They need to see the way they treat us in the streets. I best go viral too.
- Erm.. Yes Chief. I apologise.
- I really don't know. I was just walking home from work when your officers came and attacked me...
- Thank you Your Honor. I was patrolling he street with my partner, Officer Blake when a robbery was called in near where we were.
