On Good Friday, civil rights attorney and former Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price called for urgent accountability following the release of disturbing video footage showing San Leandro police officers assaulting and kidnapping Shaquille Coleman, an unhoused Black man, despite determining he had committed no crime.

The incident, brought to public attention through recent media coverage, showed officers handcuffing Mr. Coleman, using force against him, pulling out his hair, threatening him with a taser, and then transporting him out of San Leandro and leaving him in Oakland — a move advocates described as both unlawful and inhumane.

"This is not just misconduct — these are crimes against an innocent victim." said Price. "On a day that symbolizes sacrifice, justice, and humanity, we were confronted with a stark reminder of how far we still have to go. No one — no matter their housing status — should be brutalized, displaced, and discarded by those sworn to protect and serve."

Price emphasized that the actions depicted in the video raised serious legal and ethical concerns, including potential criminal violations of assault, battery, kidnapping and a hate crime. The fact that an officer pulled Mr. Coleman's braid out of his head is particularly troubling.

"As a civil rights attorney, I have spent my career holding systems accountable when they fail the people they are meant to serve," Price continued. "What happened to Mr. Coleman reflects a dangerous disregard for the law — the criminalization of poverty, the dehumanization of unhoused individuals, and the systemic disregard for Black lives."
