Amazon exec slams ‘shocking’ arrest of Black delivery driver who was pinned to the ground during a traffic stop

Amazon is investigating the arrest on Tuesday of a Black delivery driver in Warren, Michigan, who the police said parked on the wrong side of the street and resisted an officer.

On Tuesday evening, Dave Clark, Amazon’s head of worldwide operations, tweeted a link to a story about the arrest and called it”shocking, unacceptable, and inexcusable.” The story, by Fox 2 Detroit, had a witness’ video that appeared to show a white officer kneeling beside the Amazon driver, who was facedown on the ground, and restraining him.
