Niyondagara, who is Black, said he was shocked with a stun gun, pinned down, struck in the face and handcuffed before police realized their mistake.

After some discussion about the name [of an alleged murderer], the police officer left the cruiser and soon returned to explain “that there was a misunderstanding,” Niyondagara said.
The cops then drove Niyondagara home.
