Interesting article…

> But, with research showing Black and Hispanic children are significantly more likely to be shot to death by police than their white counterparts are, Joseph said the neighbor’s call put her daughter in lethal peril.

A little black girl was close to death just by talking to police‽ Thats quite a stretch. Perhaps the caller should be charged with attempted murder by putting her in this life-threatening situation.

Edit: not being from America, i guess police murder is common for little black girls. I honestly feel sorry for you. In my country, police are trusted and they help.

Yes, honestly, he should. Because he called police about "a small black woman" and how he was "afraid." And he's a local politician, so there's a lot of pressure to respond. He painted her as a scary adult when she was clearly a child. He wanted her to be at the very least terrorized (for the crime of spraying stuff on trees???)

Despicable.

You sound like you don't know the statistics of brown people getting shot, arrested for just speaking to cops. And that's what just is reported.

Anytime a cop talks to you, you're in danger. They have impunity to murder you and their buddies will help cover it up.

You sound like you have the police camo, so you don't even understand.
