Civil rights attorney John Burris plans to announce a federal lawsuit against the City and County of San Francisco on Wednesday. The attorney alleges his client, a Black seventh grader, was racially profiled and unlawfully detained by police.

sergeant identified as Sgt. Parra suddenly came running and yelled, "get out of the car, put your hands behind your back."

Burris' claim says Parra would not let the boy go and insisted that the student matched the description of a suspect. The claim says the sergeant's suspect description including, "black pants, a black hoodie, and red shoes" was vague and that his client at less than 100 pounds, did not match that of the suspect.

The boy's attorney said he was detained for about 30 minutes, but that the police sergeant on the report said he was released after one minute. Burris said witnesses dispute this timetable.
