Description

A Black jogger in Florida who cops say was detained after fitting the description of a burglary suspect in the area has now been offered a job by the sheriff. Joseph Griffin was stopped last week by Volusia County deputies because they said he matched the appearance of a man who was suspected in a burglary. “It’s just a lot going on today,” Griffin said, referring to the headlines of police shootings of unarmed Black Americans. After Griffin was let go, the sheriff offered him a job.
