A disturbing video of a Kansas City police officer kneeling on the neck of a Walmart shopper has gone viral. Viewers urge the man to “get a lawyer and file a lawsuit.”
Dayton Bolisouth, 24, was detained by police after buying a frozen pizza.
He said he went to Walmart on June 1 to help his uncle start his car, according to KCTV. The jump failed, and while waiting for roadside assistance, he decided to run to a store in Kansas City, where he bought a $5 frozen pizza for dinner.
As he was leaving the store, the police asked him if he had proof of purchase. Borisaus said: “He said, ‘Do you have a receipt?’ And I replied, ‘Of course’. And I just kept walking.”
However, in the reflection of the sliding glass door, the purchaser saw another police officer approaching from behind.
The Kansas City Police Department said officers used a technique “not approved” by the department.
He explained: “I shook my head and said no, ‘Stop chasing me’.” You have no right to hold me “I wasn’t breaking the law. Then he held me down in the corner where the crane game was.”
He claimed he told the police officer, “I have the receipt.” I’m here. It’s in my pocket,’ but they told him to stop reaching for his pocket.
Mr Borisaus told police he had a knife in his pocket. This is what he used regularly when he was doing home improvement work. “I resolved the issue with him immediately,” he said. “I thought, ‘I have a gun,’ and it’s not a weapon,” I said. “This is my work knife and I have no intention of using it. ’ said to him at once. Because he walked into the shop shirtless and with blue hair.
People who saw the incident called for the 24-year-old to file a “lawsuit.”
The KCKPD said the officers “used techniques that were neither approved nor trained by the authorities.” “Going forward, we will work with all of our retail partners to ensure there is a clear and mutual understanding of the off-duty roles of our executives,” the statement said.
A video of the incident, shot by Deighton’s wife Viviana and posted on TikTok, has already garnered more than 400,000 views. Viewers who watched the terrifying footage pondered what Borishaus should do next.
One wrote, “I hope he sue the store and the police,” while another wrote, “Once you pay it, it’s yours.
Show the security and police that you bought it.” No need,” he insisted. I hope he gets paid well.”
A third said, “Oh my God, it’s just a $5 pizza. Shame on these cops.”
