The parents of a 13-year-old boy are accusing San Francisco police of racial profiling after the student was detained outside his school by an officer who thought he might be responsible for a car burglary that had just taken place.
San Francisco police said the officer was acting based on description from a witness and detained the boy because he closely matched that description. They said they quickly realized the child was not involved in the burglary and immediately released him."It was totally racial profiling," Dolores Coleman said."I want the police department to know what they did was not OK and how they treated my son is not OK.
"My son has been changed. He's not the same person anymore," father Michael Coleman Sr. said."The innocence is gone now. He has a lot of fear, a lot of hatred toward police officers." Michael said he is now scared when he hears sirens. He wants the police department to know what happened was hurtful.
