Lynum's son alleges profiling by police

The Sentinel is reporting...

He called his mother after he was pulled over for a traffic stop last month.(30 years old and calling Mommy?)

A traffic stop involving the son of a city commissioner has resulted in accusations of racial profiling and an investigation of whether he received special treatment by a cop assigned to City Hall.

Orange County Commission candidate Juan Lynum sparked the uproar when he telephoned his mother, Orlando Commissioner Daisy Lynum, as he was getting pulled over by police last month in Parramore. Juan and Daisy Lynum, who are black, both said they feared he was in danger from the white officer.

"The fear was there because of my history and experience of racial profiling," said Juan Lynum, 30, an attorney. "I can't remember all the names of the black men across the country who have been shot even though they posed no threat to the police officer."

Priceless quote...

"There was no problem with a ticket," Commissioner Lynum said. "I just didn't want some white boy shooting my son or tasing him."
