A mom grieving her 4-year-old daughter was pinned to ground by Arkansas police
Jeezus….
No amount of confusion or incompetence is a valid excuse abusing civilians.
This kind of racist overreach is unacceptable in a law abiding society. Hope the family sues the entire community into the stone age over this.
The only way errant police forces are brought to heel is when the community demands it and the only way communities are brought to a point where they demand better behavior from the police officers they employ is when member of the community are unable to ignore the consequences of unlawful and thuggish behavior of the police is when other services are compromised.
If a community is brought to its knees by a suit and other services such as ambulances and schools are unable to give the community what they need, only then will people demand their police officers obey the law.
So to repeat: here’s hoping this family sues the entire municipality beyond bankruptcy all the way back to the stone ages.

Good gravy. First I read the article about that group of alabama (i think) cops that planted guns and drugs on nearly a thousand black men for years, and then this? Heavens, what was the charge–walking while black? I keep thinking that the Jim Crow pre-Civil Rights era is supposed to be done and over with in the 1960s, but that’s a lie out of hell.
That poor woman. She’s gonna need therapy after this. Just walking and there the cops are. And it’s so stupid “if she’d just showed us her key.” Uh, she was trying to but didn’t have ID on her, and there you go. Good thing she called family, because they’d have freaked if she suddenly disappeared on them (which could’ve happened, and then what? How long would they have had to wait before finding out she was in police custody? Horrible…)
