A Black pastor in Arizona filmed the moments a man drove up and called him a racial slur the day after the man shoved him and sprayed him with a hose.
Pastor Paul Abram, who leads Southern Avenue Missionary Baptist Church in south Phoenix, told local news outlets that he was watering the dirt along an easement on his property to tamp down dust for air quality when Brian Merrill confronted him.
Merrill was reportedly hired to clear weeds on the other side of the easement.
Abram started filming Merrill when he pulled up in his SUV with the window rolled down. The now-viral video shows Merrill telling Abram, “This is our easement here. We don’t want water on our side. Dumb n****r.”
Merrill then parks his car and appears to start complaining to someone on the phone.
