Parents of a south suburban teen say an off-duty Lansing police officer went too far in a confrontation over his yard.
Cell phone video taken Saturday shows 15-year-old Jordan Brunson pinned down by the off-duty officer.
The off-duty officer uses profanity as Jordan’s friend asks him to let the teen go; the friend says they are not trespassing.
“I was scared, but I was trying to keep calm at the same time,” Brunson says.
Lansing police say they got a call of kids fighting near a park. One of the teens — the same one who shot the cell-phone video — ran from the fight with cuts to his face and ended up on the officer’s front lawn. His friend, Jordan, came soon after.
