Footage shot by witnesses show the police taking down a man inside the store even though he told them that he had a receipt.

The African-American man, named Stanley continuously asks the officers why he is being arrested, but never gets a response. “Why are you doing this to me? I paid for my stuff! I have a receipt! Please stop! I didn’t do anything wrong!” the distraught man can be heard shouting.

“You didn’t have to do this! Somebody please tell me why these cops are doing this to me.”According to one witness who posted footage on Twitter, Stanley was testing the bike on the aisle, and was not bothering anyone.

“The kind man was test riding a bike through the store while playing some music and telling random strangers he hopes they have a great day and complimenting them,” she wrote. “He was absolutely no bother to anyone.”

“At the register when the man was paying for the bike, the officer grabbed his hand and twisted it as he tried to forcefully arrest him. I couldn’t tell you the reason.”

She said the man kept telling the officers he had paid for everything, and was unaware of why he was being apprehended and while asking the officers he was tased.
