(8,377 posts)The reason I wonder if there is more to the story is that it appears somebody called the cops. That tells me they were around there for a fair amount of time or else the cops in that area are a whole lot faster than they are in my city. It is possible that a "good citizen" just looking out for the public good, just happened to notice the girl sleeping in the car and found that, by itself, so strange that he or she put in a 911 call. I won't deny that there are people that are so tripped out racially that they might do that. But it really seems pretty much of a stretch, even for Oklahoma.
That's why I assume there was a bit more than the reporting disclosed, especially considering that the whole premise for the story was that the completely innocent kids were unfairly targeted by completely insane cops. My guess is the truth is somewhere in the middle.
The story didn't indicate any serious mistreatment, other than the wrongful arrest in the first place. I'm glad for that.
