Surveillance video showing a young Black boy in Connecticut hiding from a police car as it drives by his house has gone viral for painting a tragic picture of the Black community’s fear of the police.
The video shows 10-year-old Eliah playing basketball in his driveway when he suddenly stops and steps behind a vehicle to hide from a patrol car as it drives by.
The child’s father, Stacey Pierre-Louis shared the video in an Instagram post last week, asking his followers, "Why does he feel like he has to hide when he isn't doing anything wrong?"
"Since I've shared this video, I've been overwhelmed with support which leads me to believe that there is far more good in this world than there is bad," Pierre-Louis tells CBS News.
"So it is our hope that this video can be used as a tool to help continue to bring us together in this fight and inspire change for the better."
