A nine-year-old black boy has said he is now 'terrified' of cops after North Carolina officers pulled their guns on him and his two friends when they were playing tag outside their apartment complex.  Zakarryya Cornelius, 9, was playing a game with Jaylin Harris, 15, and an unidentified friend, 11, at the Rochelle Manor Apartments complex in Durham when the three black boys were allegedly confronted by five cops pointing their firearms at them and yelling at them to 'get on the ground'.  The officers handcuffed Jaylin before Zakarryya's distraught mom Makeba Hoffler ran over to stop the incident.   The incident comes as tensions continue to build between law enforcement and black communities across America following a series of recent incidents where cops have 'murdered' or seriously injured black men and women.   Zakarryya Cornelius, 9, has said he is now 'terrified' of cops after North Carolina officers pulled their guns on him and his two friends

Sheriff David Beth apologized in late January 2018 for comments that he made at a news briefing after his deputies arrested four adults and a minor - all of whom are black. The five were taken into custody after leading deputies on a high-speed chase.

One of Britain's most experienced scientists who has advised four Prime Ministers on health strategy has slammed the Government for causing the covid-19 death toll to rise unnecessarily.
