The president of Los Angeles City Council has been slammed for emotionally claiming he was targeted by cops because he is black.
Marqueece Harris-Dawson told colleagues he had been pulled over without cause and questioned by officers about his job, describing the experience as racially biased.
But cops released new details refuting the politician, showing he was pulled over by Los Angeles School Police Department for a moving traffic violation in a school zone.
Sources also revealed he had reached out to top brass at the Los Angeles Unified School District during the incident to try to weasel out of the citation.

But cops disputed his account, saying the stop was not carried out by the LAPD — as Harris-Dawson had implied — but by officers with the Los Angeles School Police Department during morning drop-off near a high school.
Officials said the officer stopped Harris-Dawson after observing a moving traffic violation in a school zone. {snip}
Police say Harris-Dawson first caught an officer’s attention by driving erratically on the freeway.
He then exited directly in front of the patrol car and crossed the center divider to make an illegal U-turn — a maneuver banned under California law that carries a $238 fine, adds a point to a driver’s DMV record and can lead to higher insurance premiums.
Authorities said the violation occurred near a school while children were arriving for morning drop-off.
