The family of a 14-year-old boy is calling for criminal charges against an off-duty Chicago police officer that they say racially-profiled their son because he thought the teen had stolen a bicycle.
“If it was not for the boys, there’s no telling what may have happened,” he said.
Romanucci also blasted the officer’s actions, saying that he acted well outside of his authority in the incident. “Yes, there is the potential of charges,” he said. “We have taken this very seriously, and I personally find the images in that video we got very disturbing.”Nicole Nieves says that the video shows the off-duty officer using excessive physical force, and emphasized that her son was not resisting even as his friends attempted to help him.
