Women confronted for wearing Puerto Rico shirt in a park begs for help from police

An Illinois park is investigating after a woman accused one of its police officers of standing by while a man harassed her for wearing an "un-American" shirt bearing the Puerto Rican flag. 24-year-old Mia Irizarry was wearing a shirt when she rented out a section of the local park for her birthday party. “You should not be wearing that in the United States of America,” the man says, walking into the space which Ms Irizarry rented for her party.
