<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A report of a black teen getting pulled over and handcuffed while he was on his way home from church with his white grandmother in #Wisconsin is sparking national outrage.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Police in #Wauwatosa say an African-American couple reported that they thought the teen, identified as #AkilCarter was robbing the woman after they spotted him driving her in a blue Lexus. Now an attorney for Carter suspects he was harassed, according to @USAToday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 18-year-old man was detained Sunday and as it turned out, he was actually returning home from church with his grandmother and a friend. Officers drew their handguns during the stop and had Carter come to them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Squad footage showed police telling him to drop to his knees and then, out of view, he was placed in handcuffs and put in a squad car for questioning. Carter was held for about six minutes and then he and the women were allowed to leave.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Police referred to the situation as a “really big misunderstanding.’</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I&#8217;m sure he (the person who reported it) saw two white ladies in a car with a black kid and he made some assumptions,&#8221; said the man’s grandmother. Apparently when the grandmother was told the caller was black, she said “that is even worse.”</span></p>
