A Detroit police officer posted a video to social media showing him mocking an African-American woman with racially charged captions after she was made to walk home in the cold.
ABC affiliate WXYZ on Thursday shared the Snapchat video that launched an internal investigation into officer Gary Steele.
Steele on Tuesday night pulled over a young black woman for a traffic stop because she had expired car license tags.
The woman, identified as Ariel Moore, then had to walk home in the cold, the outlet reported.
Steele recorded footage of Moore walking home and shared it on the social media site Snapchat with captions reading “what black girl magic looks like” and “celebrating Black History Month.”
The video also includes commentary between Steele and an unidentified officer from inside the police car.
“Walk of shame,” an officer said as Moore walked away.
“In the cold,” another said in the video.
“Bye Felicia,” one of the officers added.
