"He Won't Identify Himself as the Suspicious Person I'm Investigating" = ARRESTED

27-year-old Keilon Hill was canvassing in the area for the group Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement when a neighbor called police about a suspicious person.

West Des Moines Police Officer Clint Ray unlawfully detained Hill because he was "not listening" and violated his 4th and 5th amendment constitutional rights. The video concludes with the back up officers suggesting using more force next time.
