Caution Jean: News Reports and Fugees Star

caution jean: Sheriff's officials later apologized and said deputies detained him in a patrol car out of an abundance of caution, according to Metro News. Jean said that along with his lawyers, his 12-year-old daughter has scrutinized the deputies' actions in light of other national news reports about black men detained or killed in altercations with police. The former Fugees star said he had been wearing a similar bandanna when Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies stopped his car March 21 in West Hollywood, California, believing him to be an armed robbery suspect. He advised his daughter to do exactly as he did, following deputies' instructions. That's a lesson his daughter and other children need to be learning in schools, Jean said, in classes taught by police officers who regularly patrol in their communities. I'm alive to say I didn't go for my waistband, he said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
