He said police asked for his ID, but he refused because he believed he was doing nothing wrong -- he had been helping a motorcyclist start his bike. "It's hard to put into words to watch your son be Tased because he's Black," his mother Denise Merritt said. "The cops come, the crowds are big rowdy and drunk--what I saw with my own eyes was cops had to call for backup because they were in danger," the neighbor said. "The cops did say 'stand back, stand back' I heard it clearly. Then I heard 'don't put your hands on me, don't put your hands on me.'"
