[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wrote out a whole long thing as an ESS parent, and then deleted it, because I don't want to share a bunch of info or engage in too much speculation. Bottom line to me is that the cops look terrible here, and the school's involvement is at least more ambiguous, possibly open to interpretation and hard to know the degree of. Could be very bad, could be much less so. I, for one, would like to know.

That said, I want to know what the dynamic is here. Assuming the boy is African American-- regardless of the race of the cops, black boys' behavior is criminalized by *everyone*. This story is deeply disturbing to me. The child was FIVE. I'll also say that those of you assuming money grubbing and lying on the part of the mom are gross to me, and yes, there is a racialized and/or class-based element to that. Cut it out.[/quote]

You are automatically assuming the child's race and saying it was a race issue.

Assuming all this happened there are multiple issues involved.[/quote]

There is absolutely no way that Montgomery County cops behaved this way towards a white kindergartener and we all know it.[/quote]
