The Edison Tech high school students were on their way to a basketball scrimmage as part of a group of about a dozen teens who had been instructed by their coach to wait for the bus in downtown Rochester. A Rochester police officer arrived when he saw the group of teens gathered on the sidewalk, and ordered them to disperse. Students attempted in vain to explain they were headed to a basketball game. “We was just waiting for our bus and he started arrested us,” one of the students who was arrested, Wan’Tauhjs Weathers, 17, described. “
You’re just downtown minding your own business and the next thing you know, anything can happen,” another student who was arrested, Daequon Carelock, 16, explained. “We tried to tell them that we were waiting for the bus,” Weathers said. “We weren’t catching a city bus, we were catching a yellow bus. He didn’t care. He arrested us anyways.” The boys’ coach, Jacob Scott, arrived as Carelock and Weathers, along with 16-year-old Raliek Redd, were being handcuffed and placed in a police cruiser.
