Explosive confrontation erupts on streets of Chicago as black woman accuses white man of racism for filming black man’s arrest – and says her rights are ‘different’

The arrest of a black man on a busy Chicago street sparked fury among onlookers after a black woman insisted a white man could not film it because her rights are ‘different’ to his.

The white blogger headed to the scene near North Wells Street on Wednesday afternoon after a police radio scanner tweeted about an off-duty officer being assaulted by a man in a Dodge Charger.

He pulled out his phone after finding three white officers arresting the dreadlocked driver who was not resisting, but found a different subject when a female onlooker demanded he stop filming and accused him of racism.
