Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, Black Lives Matter activists and local Black Community activist Vaun Mayes held a protest in front of Robert Allen Walczykowski Sr.'s, 62, home located at 2143 S. 25th Street in the Southside of Milwaukee after a Facebook video went viral showing Walczykowski Sr. who is White holding a young Black man with special needs by the neck with his hand. A good samaritan with the Facebook name LivingLife Wright video recorded the incident and forced Walczykowski Sr. to remove his hand from the young man's throat. Walczykowski Sr. is heard on his cellphone talking to the 911 operator and saying that someone had stolen his neighbor's green bicycle and that he had apprehended a suspect who he believes is the friend of the other person that stole the neighbor's bicycle.
The unidentified young Black man is heard repeatedly that he didn't touch the bicycle. Mayes posted that the bicycle was taken at a prior date (two days before yesterday's incident) and not yesterday.
Mayes and the Black Lives Matter activists are calling for Walczykowski Sr. to face criminal charges for falsely claiming that the young Black man was involved in the prior bicycle theft and for holding the young victim without his consent and for assaulting the victim by grabbing his neck while calling 911.
Police and the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office haven't released any statements about the incident and whether Walczykowski Sr. will face criminal charges.
