Police Called On Black Teen Riding With White Grandmother, Someone Thought He Was Robbing Her

So just when I thought this whole 911 fiasco was over, I was wrong. What a sad world we truly live in and I am glad he retained an Attorney. What is even more sad if this is indeed true, the couple who reported this incident are Black.  Here's the story:

A young black man on his way home from church with his white grandmother was handcuffed by Wauwatosa Police because two passersby thought he was robbing her.

Now an attorney representing him said she suspects he was harassed.

Attorney Joy Bertrand said currently she has requested all documents from the Wauwatosa Police Department about the stop and the basis for the stop. The attorney also stated she has sent a document preservation demand telling police not to destroy anything and to include any notes, text messages and dispatch reports. 

"After we take a look at whatever basis they have for stopping and harassing this family, we will be able to comment further," Bertrand said. "Once we take a look at those documents, we will have further comment." 

The 18-year-old man was detained Sept. 2 after a couple told a Wauwatosa police officer a black young man was robbing two older white women in a blue Lexus. 

It turns out he was in a car with his grandmother and her friend. They were on their way home to her house after leaving a church. 

The incident occurred around noon on Sunday, Sept. 2, near Burleigh Street and Mayfair Road.   

The young man was held for about six minutes. Then he and the older women were allowed to leave. A male officer can be heard telling the man, "I'm guessing what this sounds like is a really big misunderstanding."

The grandmother's voice appeared surprised on the video. 

"I'm sure he (the person who reported it) saw two white ladies in a car with a black kid and he made some assumptions," the grandmother said. 

When she wastold by the male officer that an African-American man reported the incident, the grandmother said "that is even worse."
