"Rayshaun Swagerty-Owens, 31, said he was questioned while holding a vigil for a recently passed friend because of his race. Longview police say Officer David Mora questioned him during routine foot patrols around the Highlands. No arrest was made.
Thousands of online viewers watched the interaction in a video Swagerty-Owens, who is a person of color, captured from his cell phone and posted online. Thousands also commented on a video Longview Police Department shared of Mora’s body camera footage during the stop. Many commenters said Mora was disrespectful during the interaction."
