[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This a child and they are looking for a woman. They didn’t have to handcuff her and keep her standing on the sidewalk for everyone to see. She will be traumatized. [/quote]

This is a not uncommon experience for Black children unfortunately.

Experiments, including one by the APA, have shown that White people often think Black children are much older than they really are. Even if the child is small for their age and dressed in an age appropriate manner. Add in racial bias by cops and you have a situation like this. [/quote]

It’s not “racial bias by cops” if the description is a black female in a pink coat and they detain someone found nearby who is a black female in a pink coat for questioning. Not saying the cops (or anyone else) are perfect but in this case it’s hard to see what they did wrong. Unfortunately kids that age really are stealing cars. That’s what you should have a problem with, not the cops trying to stop it.[/quote]

How do you get an 11 year old confused with a grown woman? Having a pink jacket was the only thing the suspect and the girl had in common. Are you saying that any middle schooler who has a growth spurt should be automatically assumed to be a car thief because “kids that age really are stealing cars”? I’ve never heard of 11 year olds stealing cars in droves.

This isn’t policing, it’s harassment. This family will have a nice lawsuit from this. You don’t go around handcuffing kids because of lazy policing. [/quote]
