It would be nice to see if there is video from the initial contact, if their only description was a tall black male then they are just randomly picking people and IMO racial profiling, if the description was a tall black slender male wearing a red shirt and gray pants, then that is pretty descriptive, and it if was me that had that description I would explain that that is the description we have and you fit the description. They also said on the video the person they were looking for had a warrant, so they had to have had a name of the individual been looked for, asking for ID to eliminate him had he fit a specific description should not have been an issue.
What gets me is that they teach deescalation tactics to all LE, neither side utilized their training, and the actions continued to escalate the situation.
well, turns out the guy was not actually and FBI agent according to Reuters.
Correction June 2, 2020: The verdict of this check has been updated to remove the term "wrongfully". The man the video was briefly detained by police in a case of mistaken identity.
