Although he appears to be strongly defending Daniele in his Facebook post, full-length audio from his exchange with the responding officer seems to suggest otherwise.
“This is a very sensitive subject to her. You know, the black and white,” Brian began explaining to the officer. “This is about the third time we’ve gotten accosted for it.”
“It’s not as sensitive to me because I understand where you’re coming from,” Brian continued.
“She’s just using it as her crutch. It’s fine. You get used to it after a while,” said the officer.
“I bet,” adds Brian. “I understand your job so [...] I know you don’t wanna deal with stuff like this. This is not a protect and serve issue.”
After a bit more small talk, Brian and the officer returned to their discussion about Daniele’s belief that she is being targeted because of her race.
“She needs to not see everything in black and white,” said the officer.
“No pun intended,” Brian joked. “[If a Black officer pulled up] it would’ve been the same thing. In the future, that might be what has to happen for her to…Hey, I’ll bring that up. That’s a good idea. Thank you. I’ll share that with her and I’ll do that from a perspective of you not sharing that with me, but like, ‘Hey babe, what if it was a Black cop? Would it be the same thing?'”
Once officers placed her in the patrol car Brian responds:
“It’s her first time being in the car. It’ll be good.”
Brian can even be heard laughing awkwardly after Daniele was cuffed. SMH.
