(10,952 posts)suing the living daylights out of those cops and their police force. The color of the vehicle was not even close to the car that was called in. While everyone may not know makes and models of cars they generally get the color of the vehicle right. The original report did not state anything about a grown woman in the car which should have been the first clue that the cops screwed up. Those children are going to be traumatized and the police need to be paying for the cost of therapy that those children will need.
As a white person, stuff like this makes me beyond angry. We live in a country where one group of people have to have to talk to their children about what can happen to them in the outside world and another group of people who are just as apt to be perceived to be illegals then citizens just because of their ethnic background. Children in this country should never have to be raised with a sense of fear just because of what racial, ethnic or religous background they belong to.
It seems like the only group that can have a smidgeon of belief that the police are out there to protect and serve are the white people (particularly "Christians" . Equality just does not exist to any other groups.
