The heartwarming story about citizens of San Francisco making 5-year-old leukemia survivor Miles Scott’s dream come true couldn’t go without SFPD casting a dark shadow on the whole event. A black cyclist was beaten up after riding home from the Make A Wish Foundation happening for carrying what turned out to be a cupcake and juice.

21-year-old D’Paris Williams, known as DJ, was riding his bicycle and pulling up to his home at Valencia Gardens Apartments in Mission District. Two undercover cops in an unmarked vehicle got out of the car and grabbed DJ from behind, suspecting that he was carrying drugs.

It is still unclear whether they identified themselves as police officers before charging at DJ or not, but they went on to search him. The only thing they found was a cupcake and juice DJ had just bought at the corner store, but this didn’t stop them from beating the young black man.

One of the cops shoved DJ’s head into the building’s front door, then dragged him in the street where he was beaten until he blacked out. His sister, holding a newborn in her arms, was pushed by the second officer when she tried to intervene.

Several neighbors came to the rescue trying to make the cops stop, which resulted in three more people beaten by the police and taken in. One part of the incident was caught on tape and it shows the undercover cop running to a man and punching him in the face several times.

The man is later seen with a bloodied face, taken away in handcuffs. Police also arrested a man with HIV whose medical condition requires that he walks with a cane, considering the cane ‘a deadly weapon’.

DJ was taken to General Hospital for treatment, and then to the police station on Bryant Street. It is yet unknown if any charges will be pressed against him.
