When he was asking for help and saw saw his kids 
"racist muthafukkas, all ya'll"
:::: UPDATE :::: We spoke with the man in the video, Chris Lollie, and he said he's fine with us using his real name and unedited mugshot (visible above).
A CELL PHONE video posted to YouTube this week SHOWS a St. Paul police officer roughing up a black man who was apparently doing nothing more than sitting in the skyway, waiting to pick up his kids.
At 9:43 a.m. on January 31, police were summoned to the skyway in downtown St. Paul's First National Bank Building on a report of a man loitering. The video footage shows an officer asking the then-27-year-old man to provide his name.

"Why do I have to let you know who I am? Who I am isn't the problem," the man calmly replies.
"Because that's what police do when they get called," the officer responds.
The man explains he was sitting in the skyway waiting to pick up his kids at 10 o'clock from the New Horizon Academy school. He says he had gotten off work at Cossetta at 9 a.m.
He tells the officer, "First off, that's a public area. And if there's no sign that [says], 'This is a private area, you can't sit here,' no one can tell me I can't sit here."
"The problem is..." the officer says, before she's cut off.
"The problem is I'm black. That's the problem," the man interjects. "It really is because I didn't do anything wrong."
Though that exchange was more conversational than confrontational, things escalate when another officer, Bruce Schmidt, arrives on the scene.
"What's up brother?" the man says to him.
"You're going to jail. You're not my brother," Schmidt replies.
At that point, the officers force the man to put his hands behind his back. A struggle ensues, during which he's tased.
"Can somebody help me?" he screams. "That's my kids right there, my kids are right there!"
After he's restrained, the man, understandably upset, calls the officers "racist motherfukkers" and says, "I didn't do anything wrong, I didn't break any laws and you tase me? That's assault."

at the cop's explanation. Because he didn't stop and talk to her? Really?
