"A police officer arrested three teens last week as they were standing
outside a store in downtown Rochester, New York. Their crime: Waiting
for a school bus.
The three boys — Raliek Redd, 16, Deaquon Carelock, 16, and
Wan'Tauhjs Weathers, 17 — are star athletes at Edison Tech high
school, and were waiting to be taken to a basketball game when they
were spotted by an officer.
It seems the store adjacent to their pick-up spot was being monitored by
police due to past complaints from the owner of teens loitering outside.
The officer asked the teens to disperse, but they explained that they
were waiting to be picked up by a bus. The officer again asked the teens
to disperse.
"We tried to tell them that we were waiting for the bus," Wan'Tauhjs told
WHEC. "We weren't catching a city bus, we were catching a yellow bus. He
didn't care. He arrested us anyways."
The three were charged with with disorderly conduct and obstructing the
sidewalk.
While they were being handcuffed, their coach, Jacob Scott, arrived at the
scene and attempted to reason with the cop."- Gawker
