Georgia-based civil rights group supports man arrested by Center Line Police

While we have time, I do want to get to Gerald Rose with New Order. So let's get to Gerald right now. Gerald, how are you doing? Hey, thank you for joining us. So we had talked about Tyler Tice's case, and we know that you're with New Order down in Atlanta, Georgia. You spoke with Tice's mom, and of course, Tice was originally arrested for resisting arrest in Centerline. We had the body camera video. It showed a story about his confrontation with police. and then how it escalated into Tice being tased, taken in, booked, and then realized that his license was valid, he had no warrants for his arrest, and he had complied with officers. Of course, he had ADHD. But let us know your involvement in Mr. Tyler Tice's situation as we are continuing to follow this story. Well, first of all, America got a serious problem when it comes to our people. on the video that i've seen i didn't see no kind of confrontation he obeyed every command on the young man has a clean record he comes from a home with both parents there's no broken home and i just understand why he was treated like a hardcore criminal i am demanding that charges be dropped his mother is a judge his father works every day and you're not dealing with a guy that's is very doing a lot of negative stuff in this society so something must be done you know and i will continue to push the issue i know you haven't heard of my organization but i have been in the front lines for a while and i am coming to detroit um next year in april 24th to hold a national leadership conference i am inviting the nolan wells family being Crump, Jasmine Crockett and we talk about what took place there right in detroit the issues that's going on and it's just bigger than that. We are under attack as a people, and I am very concerned how America is going, but we must get justice for this family. Gerald, I want to ask you this. I'm sure we've seen a number of situations unfold like this. What is your thought on how now we're hearing that police, the judge had dropped these charges originally, resisting arrest charges dropped originally and now the prosecutor's office is refiling these charges we reached out to the prosecutor's office they did confirm that they are refiling the those charges uh Sun Line City manager has said that they are doing an internal investigation into the police uh but we're still waiting on answers what would you like to see done out of uh both those situations with the charges now being refiled as well as this internal investigation well first of all i don't even know why charges are being refiled i heard it was refiled because your broadcast has been uh exposing corruption you know so that's probably why just the fact god has the last answer unless your man charges will be dropped i think that he will be living on his life and he also have a mental issue so when you come up across a mental suspect you supposed to be treated differently aren't they trained for that in academy but what i saying that this officer was very upset i mean they got and he was explaining hey what you know what did i do and this and that or whatever because we do have rights when the officers stop you do have the right to ask questions don't get out of respect but you have the right to ask why you stopped me in this and this and that or whatever he did all of that so why are you trying to recharge this man what are you trying to prove you need to be dealing with people that are real criminals out there which are out there and he's not a hardcore criminal and i pray for miss morgan you know and uh and the family that you know and again my organization would would step in immediately if i had to come there beforehand to let them know that that this young man should walk away freely and we just feel that he's being he's being profiled right now at this certain point he's being racially profiled now these charges have been refiled uh what is your advice what have you said to mrs morgan and tyler tice well i told miss morgan you know god got the last answer you know and i'm hoping that the attorney they have is going to fight to the end that he's a good attorney you know and i'm just hoping that this young man can walk free and enjoy life and enjoy his family and he do not deserve to be behind what they're trying to put him in jail behind bars for what he's not a hardcore criminal like you said during your your report his license was valid you're not dealing with a criminal so i don't understand what is going on what was a probable cause why he got stopped that's what i need to know and then when they ran his license they should automatically know they're dealing with someone that got some sense it's just the fact you're treating him like he's a bad person and it's just the fact that we're going to help this family get justice and again if we don't get what we want to get noise will be made in Detroit, Michigan would you like to see both these officers fired? Yes and then also we would like to have and i have a local chapter in Detroit as we speak i'm going to ask for an open door policy when i say open door policy when issues come like this across my table your door is open i could come in and speak to you so we could come to a agreement if not somebody's going to be um going to be protesting in front of your facility and i do that across this country right now my organization is in 41 cities and 13 states throughout the United States of America we're making history As a matter of fact, Detroit is under the radar right now. Joe Rose, The New Order, we do appreciate it. We know that you will be in Detroit at some point. I know that you've got the conference next year. Let us know when you plan to protest, Center Line Police, and we'll have that conversation again.
