LASD is investigating a 'use-of-force' incident after three college students accused its deputies of racial profiling in South Los Angeles.
is investigating a "use of force" incident involving three young men who say they were racially profiled and targeted by deputies after their TikTok video went viral.
"They didn't read him his rights at all. I'm still there recording and we're asking why are you arresting him," said Johnson. "They're not telling me what I'm being detained or arrested for, and I got my hands up, and I've seen a lot of things about police brutality so I was trying to put my hands up for my safety and their safety also to show I wasn't doing nothing and I didn't have nothing on me," said Jayvonte George.
In the video, Johnson repeatedly asked for a sergeant and asked the deputies for their names and badge numbers. He said that eventually they were told about the deputies' suspicion of being involved in other crimes. "I had called my mother because we live around the corner and I called her and she was right on the way. It's unacceptable. That's sad to be a Black young man, can't walk to the store and scared of police. I haven't even been out of the house since then," said Delton. Video showed several more deputies arrive at the scene and eventually arrest George.
"It was very traumatizing because now I don't even feel safe to walk around to the store," said George.
