The family of a 13-year-old says they were racially profiled by police now plans to file a lawsuit the city and county of San Francisco. Attorney John Burris alleges the student, identified by M.C., was racially profiled and unlawfully detained by a member of the San Francisco Police Department, KTVU reported.

The allegations come from a March 15 incident at Sterne School, the 7th grader was waiting for his tutor to pick him up from school.

Once the instructor got there, M.C. put his backpack in the backseat of her car and was about to get inside when an officer identified as Sgt. Parra came up yelling, “Get out of the car, put your hands behind your back.” Surveillance video footage captured the encounter. Burris alleges Sgt. Parra put the student’s hands behind his back while the tutor and school leaders came to defend the child. They told the officer that he was in school all day. The officer, however, claims the student was only detained for one minute. While Burris says the detainment lasted around 30 minutes, The San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Burris’ alleges Parra detained the child, because he fit the description of a suspect who was described as wearing “black pants, a black hoodie, and red shoes.” However, Burris says M.C. had mostly black shoes with red shoe strings, and pants that had 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. The teen’s family and his school have spoken out against the officer’s actions.

“My son has been traumatized by the police officer’s attack. As his mother, I am horrified that this happened to my son, who is loving, carefree, polite, and well-mannered He doesn’t understand why this happened to him when he had done nothing wrong,” Delores Coleman, his mother said.

A school official said that a formal complaint on behalf of the school has been filed with San Francisco Police Department.

“Several staff members and our security guard witnessed the event and stepped in to support the student. This student was simply exiting the school for the day, and did nothing wrong,” Melissa Myers, head of school, wrote.
