EPIC FAIL! NAACP Pres. Claims He Was Racially Profiled By Police, Body Cam Proves Otherwise

Timmonsville NAACP President the Rev. Jerrod Moultrie posted on Facebook on April 13 that he was racially profiled when a Timmonsville police officer pulled him over for a traffic violation near his home on Harkless Court in Timmonsville.



Moultrie was stopped for failing to use a turn signal and a problem with his license plate, according to police.



Moultrie's post said, "Tonight, I was racially profiled by Timmonsville Officer CAUSE I WAS DRIVING A MERCEDES BENZ AND GOING HOME IN A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD."



Moultrie recounted his conversation with the officer in the post.



He said the officer asked him if there were any drugs inside his car.



Moultrie said in that post the officer told him, "I am doing you a favor tonight not taking you to jail or writing you a ticket."



Florence community activist Timothy Waters said when he saw Moultrie's Facebook post, it made him very upset that a black person could be racially profiled for driving a nice car in a nice neighborhood.



Waters said he went to the Timmonsville Police Department to take a look at a copy of the officer's dash and body cam video.



He added when he saw the video, he became even more upset, but not at the officer, rather at Moultrie.



Waters said the body cam video totally contradicts what Moultrie posted on Facebook.



He said the officer was very pleasant and kind to Moultrie during the entire four-minute traffic stop.



"Once I got a copy of that body cam, it's as if he made the whole story up. And I felt like he set us back 100 years, because think about all of the racial profiling cases (that) are true," said Waters.
