Suspect Tells White Cop She Feels Unsafe Because he 'shoots black people' in Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls Police responded to Seneca One Stop on the 600 block of Niagara Street around 1am after reports of an unwanted person.

Upon arrival, officers were met by employees requesting that Zakarria Perkins be removed from the premises. The manager on duty told police that she asked Perkins to leave multiple times because she was being “rude” to the staff.

Officers then spoke with Perkins who immediately stated that she felt unsafe because the officer was white and “shoot[s] black people.” Perkins then began to state that she was sexually assaulted in the store but would not elaborate. The manager told police that nothing happened inside the store and that Perkins was visible throughout that time.

Perkins was told that if she did not leave, she would be arrested for trespassing. She refused to leave and was taken into custody.

While in the back of the patrol vehicle, Perkins began to yell irrational statements and was not making any sense. As a result, officers placed Perkins on a 9.41 MHL paperwork and she was taken to Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center to be admitted in the psych ward.
