>A high-ranking California lawmaker who claimed he was racially profiled during a traffic stop had his account torn apart by the authorities who insist he was pulled over for a violation outside of a school.
Marqueece Harris-Dawson, president of the Los Angeles City Council, accused Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers of targeting him because he is black during a meeting last week about pretextual traffic stops.
Describing the run-in, Harris-Dawson alleged officers stopped him without cause and questioned how he owned the vehicle and what he did for a living.
'It was traumatic on Wednesday as when I was 16,' the lawmaker shared, becoming visibly emotional.
