The woman asked to speak to a supervisor, but the officer refused to transfer her or take her contact information.
The woman told us the officer "sure felt like he was above any repercussions," and he was.
For example, in 2015, MPD officers stopped a car carrying four Somali-American teens.
Later, when one of the teens told the officer, "[Y]ou're a racist, bro," the officer responded: "Yep, and I'm proud of it."
It was not until weeks later, when cellphone footage went viral, that MPD opened an investigation, eventually firing the officer.
