Crying child begs father not to call police on black man visiting friend

A crying child begged his father not to call the police on a black man waiting for his friend at an apartment building in San Francisco, in a video that has been viewed more than 1.3m times.

Wesly Michel, 35, recorded his encounter with the pair, with the white father calling Mr Michel a “trespasser” in the building he had walked in to as he walked out.



As the pair talk, the child can be heard telling his father: “Dad, don’t. Please go." The boy says: “Daddy go. It’s the better; I agree with him, daddy.”
