A white police officer handcuffed a Black child outside his Michigan home in an 'unfortunate case of 'wrong place, wrong time,'' the Lansing Police Department said Friday.
A white police officer handcuffed a Black child outside his Michigan home in an "unfortunate case of 'wrong place, wrong time,"' the Lansing Police Department said Friday.The department posted the explanation on Facebook after cellphone video circulated on social media showing the officer leading the boy -- whose hands are cuffed behind his back -- through the parking lot of an apartment complex on Thursday.
About three minutes into the video of the incident, an officer removed the handcuffs and spoke with Tashawn for about 30 seconds. Tashawn was then allowed to join his father on the sidewalk. The Bernard family's lawyers, Ayanna and Rico Neal, said Tashawn is "traumatized" so much that he "doesn't not want to go outside anymore."
A witness had described the suspect's outfit before a person who matched the description ran from an officer into an apartment complex, police said. Another officer saw the child in "a very similar outfit," stopped him and released him when the officer realized he was not the suspect, police said.
