T.I. shared some encouraging words with a teenager who was held at gunpoint by a Clayton County, Georgia, police officer on Monday, June 15.
The rapper joined a group of Clayton County parents at a news conference the day after the incident, where he blasted the officer’s actions.
Clayton County Police released a report that says one officer arrived at the 500 block of Flint Road in Clayton County after being notified that a group of male teens was seen in a store parking lot with a gun.
Some in Clayton County are now calling for immediate police reform, something protesters around the United States have been demanding since the death of George Floyd, who died in May while being arrested by a Minneapolis police officer.
There have been expressions from some Clayton County residents that the officer who pointed his gun at the teen should be terminated.
