\n The jaywalking arrest of two teenagers in Oklahoma has sparked an investigation after videos were released showing police aggressively detaining one of the teens before holding him to the ground as he pleads \u201cI can\u2019t breathe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police on Tuesday released bodycam footage from a Tulsa neighborhood on June 4 as police jump out of their patrol car to confront jaywalking suspects in a situation that quickly escalates.<\/p>\n

While the first teen is app<\/a>rehended, his friend can be heard saying \u201cWhy are you choking him?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll he was doing was jaywalking,\u201d one officer responds to the teen. \u201cWe just want to talk with him. Then he had to act a fool like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The nearly 20-minute videos show an officer remaining on top of the teenager who lay on his stomach even after he was handcuffed.<\/p>\n

The teen pleads with the officer to stop touching him, but the officer\u2019s hands remain placed on the teen and repeatedly pulls on his pants and grabs his legs and crotch.<\/p>\n

The officers repeated to the teenagers that they broke the law because they jaywalked. Body camera videos show that the area had patchy or no visible sidewalks.<\/p>\n

The teenager who was handcuffed first was forced into a police car as he yelled profanities at the officers. He called the officers \u201cevil\u201d and racist and said they arrested him because he\u2019s black. He shouted, \u201cCall my mama! Call my mama!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause I\u2019m black \u2026 I\u2019m a criminal,\u201d the teen yelled at one officer as they both physically struggled while putting the teen in the car. \u201cBlack lives matter!\u201d<\/p>\n

Body camera footage shows the other teen was let go.<\/p>\n

Tulsa is the second-largest city in Oklahoma, with a population comprising about 66 percent white and 16 percent black, according to US Census data.<\/p>\n

It was not immedia<\/a>tely known if the teens were issued a citation or formally charged. Messages and an email sent to the Tulsa Police Department weren\u2019t returned Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Greg Robinson, a community activist and organizer, told KJRH-TV that the police department will probably conclude that the officers were following protocol.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd they probably were,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cBut that\u2019s the problem. Why do we need more enforcement when we don\u2019t feel like the police are protecting us? We feel like they\u2019re hunting us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum wrote in a Facebook post that he saw the footage of the teens\u2019 arrest and that he\u2019s working with the police department on the investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want every kid in Tulsa to feel safe to walk down the street in their neighborhood,\u201d he wrote. \u201cNo Tulsa kid should have to fear being tackled and cuffed for walking down the street.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tulsa police said the department released the body camera videos to be transparent but that it will not comment on the arrest because the Internal Affairs Unit is investigating.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
