'They Don't Care': Black Boy Attacked on Video By Hispanic Student with ‘Big Butcher Knife’ Arrested for Defending Himself; Mother Says L.A. School District Failed to Protect Her Son from Bullies

A 14-year-old Black boy was racially harassed, threatened and attacked by Hispanic students over a span of several months before he was arrested for trying to defend himself against a knife-wielding student earlier this month, according to recent claim filed against the Los Angeles Unified School District.
The incident that led to the Black student’s arrest took place on Dec. 9 following an early afternoon altercation between himself and at least two other students on school grounds that was recorded on video.
In the beginning of the the 35-second video, an adult female voice can be heard saying, “you can handle it after school” as two students gang up on the Black boy. Towards the end of the video, somebody can be heard saying, “he has a knife,” but it is not clear who exactly has the knife.
But attorney Brad Gage, who filed the claim last week, which is a precursor to filing a lawsuit against a government agency, said it was one of the Hispanic students who threatened to stab him with a “big butcher knife” – only to end up getting stabbed himself along with another student.
“At some point, others that are part of the group or gang; they come and chase our client with a big butcher knife — trying to kill him,” Gage told CBS News.
However, it was the Black student who ended up arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon which are still pending. The two stabbing victims suffered non-life threatening injuries.
Gage said it is a case of self-defense against racial bullying but it is still not clear if the Black boy had his own knife or if he stabbed his attackers with the knife they were threatening to use against him.
“Make no mistake about it, this is a case of racism,” Gage said.
