Civil rights attorney John Burris plans to announce a federal lawsuit against the City and County ofon Wednesday. The attorney alleges his client, a Black seventh grader, was racially profiled and unlawfully detained by police.
According to Burris' claim, Parra held the boy's arms behind his back. The tutor told the sergeant the boy had just gotten out of class. School staff members, including a counselor and the head of the school arrived at the scene and told the sergeant the boy was in school all day. Burris said M.C. had predominantly black shoes with red shoe strings, and pants with Mickey Mouse on them. "Any reasonable police officer could have determined that this young boy did not fit the description of the suspect described as a male black, wearing black clothing and red shoes who was allegedly seen breaking into cars," Burris said in a news release.
Burris said as a result of this incident, M.C. has missed days of school, is fearful of police and has suffered anxiety.
