A 10-year-old African American boy from Mississippi was jailed for urinating in public. Now, his mother, who claims her son’s civil rights were violated, is suing the city and police for $2 million, alleging excessive force and racial bias in the incident.
Currently aged 11 years old, Quantavious Eason had been reportedly waiting for his mom to come back from an attorney’s office when a police officer saw him relieving himself next to his mom’s car back on August 10, 2023.
Quantavious was only in third grade at the time, but that didn’t stop the Senatobia police from arresting him and forcing him into a squad car.
