SFPD faces lawsuit after allegedly racially profiling, detaining Black student outside of school

At about 1 p.m. on March 15, a 13-year-old Black child was waiting outside Sterne School in San Francisco for his tutor to come pick him up.

Just as he was about to put his backpack inside the tutor’s car, a claim filed on behalf of his family alleges, Sgt. Matthew Parra of San Francisco police allegedly ordered him to get out of the car and forcibly put his hands behind his back — and detained him for 20 minutes.

Now, the family is planning to sue the city and county of San Francisco following the altercation, with famed Oakland civil rights attorney John Burris throwing his weight behind the family.

-------

The claim states that Parra continued to hold the child, identified in the claim as M.C., even after the tutor explained that he had just come from class that day. That statement was further corroborated by a school counselor and Melissa Myers, the head of Sterne School, who arrived at the scene shortly after the boy was detained. A school security guard also arrived on the scene.
