Law enforcement officials in central Florida have denied accusations of racism after several people were arrested when police tried to disrupt a block party of approximately 3,000 over the weekend.
Participants who spoke to local media said law enforcement's response to the gathering in the city of Deland was an instance of racial bias and disproportionate policing of black communities.Some police officers were also injured, according to Volusia County officials. Deland is about 22 miles from Daytona Beach.
After the two arrests, VCSO says that two deputies were hit with a cup of alcohol and while the person who threw it was being taken into custody, one of the deputies was sucker punched by another male subject who immediately fled the area. Additionally, another deputy and a DeLand police officer were hit with a bar stool and mason jar by other members of the crowd who immediately also fled, according to a statement by VCSO.
