A woman who identified herself as Dragonfly, from the Brooklyn borough of New York, gets a hug from Ferguson, Mo., police Sgt. Michael Wood, after sharing her fear of police brutality with Wood, during a protest at the police station, Oct. 13, 2014, in Ferguson, Mo.
“Why do you all hate us so much?” Dragonfly pleaded, asking why the Ferguson and St. Louis area police officers seem to hate members of the African American community.
But the officer replied, “I don’t hate you, ma’am.”
Obviously surprised by the answer, she said: “I don’t want to hate you, I’d rather hug you.”
The officer who seemed to feel remorse for the racist behavior of so many fellow officers said simply: “Then hug me.”
