MORE ABOUT THE VIDEO
The video touched a lot of Americans including Whites who felt that its totally wrong to assault a young black man like that. In the viral video, the man was very calm with him even though Pentland pushed him multiple times.
“Walk away from here, you either walk away or I’m going to carry you out of here right now. What are you going to do if I touch you? I’m about to do something to you if you don’t start walking. You are in the wrong neighborhood and you are harassing the neighborhood. You better move or I move you,” the US soldier blasted the black man.

It’s really sad that black people are still facing this issue of racism. Do you think a fine of $500 or 30 days in jail would serve as a warning to Jonathan Pentland if he is found guilty?
