This is sickening and[b] absolutely a racial thing[/b]. School to Prison Pipeline right here.

I live in Orlando and it's very much in the news in a WTAF sort of way, so it's not like everyone down here is "what, what's the problem." The officer was suspended and the prosecutor refused to do jack about it, so the "system" is at least working there. Despite the fact that the system never should have been invoked. [/quote]
The officer is black.[/quote]

DP but officers of every color feel much freer to arrest and mistreat black children than white.  A racial thing doesn't necessarily mean personal animus - most racism is societal.  Society will bring the hammer down on a cop that arrests a little white girl, regardless of context.  Meanwhile society, as expressed by DCUM, will go give us countless logical contortions about the vicious kicking beast that had to be controlled when the story is about a black girl.[/quote]

Wow, that is an iron clad excuse of all excuses if you ask me.  Well done![/quote]

I'm sorry you don't understand structural racism.  There are approximately infinity studies on the topic showing that black people get arrested for things white people get warnings for; that black children's misbehavior is criminalized while white children get timeouts.  Reality isn't usually seen as an "excuse," but I guess if you really don't want reality acknowledged you might be a tad miffed.[/quote]
