10-year-old boy's public urination arrest raises concerns of racial bias

A 10-year-old boy from Mississippi has been placed on probation and ordered to write a report on his idol, Kobe Bryant, after being arrested for urinating in public behind his mother's car in a parking lot. The incident gained national attention, with the family's attorney claiming that race played a role in the arrest. The boy was not declared delinquent, and the incident will not go on his record. The attorney argued that any child would have done the same thing under similar circumstances, as there was no public restroom available. The boy's mother expressed her dissatisfaction with the treatment her son received during the process. The police chief acknowledged the officers' error in judgment and stated that disciplinary action would be taken.
