After all, Derrick had a completely different color vehicle than the SUV connected to the shooting. Cops are heard cursing at themselves for getting the wrong car.
Derrick is then let out of the police car and taken out of handcuffs. Police further lie to Derrick and tell him that he had the same car and same license plate as a vehicle involved in a shooting.
Derrick immediately recognizes that the police are lying, Derrick begins saying “no” and shaking his head in defiance to the deceptive words of the foolish behaving police.
Derrick gets in his SUV and pulls off from the scene. A year later, Derrick sued the police department alleging false arrest, excessive force, false imprisonment, and other notions. The civil case is pending.
