Cops Kidnap Blind Man, Dump Him on the Side of the Road in the Middle of Nowhere

On the night of August 27, four plainclothes police officers pulled up to an apartment complex in South Dade and arrested three young black men.

A bystander caught the interaction on video.

According to police, the three men were arrested because officers claimed to witness the horrible crime of passing a marijuana cigarette.

The men were arrested for possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor, and forced to sign citations promising to appear in court.

Two of the men were let go, but cops threw the third man, Burke, into the back of their unmarked car. Burke was unable to even find the cop car.

After kidnapping him, Burke estimates that police drove him around for twenty minutes before dropping him off in a desolate section of South Dade.

Finally, after walking with one foot on the pavement and one in the weeds, a stranger came to his aid and led him home.

Burke, who has never been convicted of a crime, has been arrested twice and detained by police on more than a dozen other occasions. Being stopped and handcuffed in his neighborhood, he said, is nothing new.
