UPPER DARBY, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — Upper Darby police generally have a very good relationship with the communities they serve.

So this is something that has shocked township officials and they vow to conduct a thorough investigation quickly.

Late last month, a video of a black man being arrested in Georgia went viral. Such videos of high public interest in this era of severely strained relations between some police departments across the country and the communities they serve are shared over and over again on social media.

Someone using the name Randall Raines commented on the video saying, in part, “Animals. How much to send them back to Africa?”
