Details About DaMichael Jenkins’ Viral Racial Profiling Encounter
The shadow room posted the video shared by DaMichael Jenkins showing a woman walking into his home at night with her two children. As Jenkins pulls into her driveway, she rings the doorbell and begins to question him, asking if he lives there. When Jenkins responds, “Yes,” she replies, “I don’t believe it.” She then ran from Jenkins’ property, screaming and calling for help, claiming he was chasing her.
Jenkins’ wife comes out, asking what happened and who the woman thinks was chasing her. The woman then returns and Jenkins’ wife explains that her husband lives there. Jenkins’ wife shares her confusion and mentions someone screaming outside.
According to the video, the woman was walking down the street with her two children as Jenkins’ silver truck slowly approached. Jenkins said he was driving slowly because he was admiring another neighbor’s Christmas lights. The woman expressed her fear, saying: “From my point of view, it is necessary: to be alone with my two children. I saw a car coming and it scared me. Ultimately, she apologized after Jenkins called out her behavior.
