Police in Chicago are claiming that multiple reports of a 10-to-12-year-old with a gun were called in before officers cuffed a black 10-year-old.
The horrifying footage shows Michael Thomas Jr. in a state of shock while handcuffed before beginning to sob.
“You can see that he doesn’t have any weapons on him,” a woman identified as his grandmother says in the footage. “I raised up my grandbaby’s shirt. He don’t have anything on him. Take those handcuffs off of him.”
“I want answers,” the child's mother Starr Ramsey said. “You can look at him and tell he no teenager. Ten year’s old you get handcuffed? You scarred him for life.”
