Teens Allege Racial Profiling in Burnham

Summary


Aubrey Locke, father to plaintiffs [Brandon Locke] and [Matthew Locke], all of Lansing, said he went to the Burnham Police Department to file an official complaint but was told there was no form to fill out. He said police told him to write his complaint on a piece of paper, but he didn't because "it would probably end up in the trash can."

Aubrey Locke said he described [Peter Belos] to the four men, who then identified Bellows as one of the officers involved in the incident. Belos said he remembers the man coming into the station and that Belos told him to fill out the complaint on a piece of paper and he would investigate. But Belos said reports that put him at the scene were mistaken: "I don't know how that could be because I was here at the station."

"Certain individuals and groups tend to engage in racial profiling," he said, including "the Chicago police and some of the surrounding suburban police."
