A mom on a college tour called the cops on two Native American teens because they made her 'nervous'

Critics are holding up the incident as just the latest example of racial profiling. In the past few weeks, two African-American men were arrested for sitting in a Philadelphia Starbucks; a group of African-American women had the cops called on them at a golf course for playing too slowly; and a gym was forced to apologize after a member felt he was racially profiled and was asked to leave.

When the police confirmed the brothers were part of the tour, they let them rejoin the group. But by that time, the tour had moved on, the school said.
"It breaks my heart, because they didn't do anything to warrant that," Gray told the affiliate. "They're walking on their own ancestors' land, so it breaks my heart."

On Friday, the university released the police report, audio of the 911 call from the nervous parent and body camera footage of officers' interactions with the Grays.
"There are two young men that joined our tour that weren't part of our tour," the mother, who has not been identified, tells the dispatcher. "They're not -- definitely not -- a part of the tour."
