Sounds like perfectly expected behaviour by the cops
If you happen to be black and living in certain parts of the US.
Although Id be interested in hearing the views of a more mainstream news agency before I believe what is written on that site.

It does link to a newspaper and a TV station
That's pretty mainstream isn't it?

I'm honestly having trouble finding the words...
Events such as this imply so many deeply unpleasant things about the USA. That the Police feel the need to do this. That they can get away with it scot-free for 2 years. That they not only beat and arrested a 12-year old girl, they came back 3 weeks later and arrested her for assault. Assault! A 12 year old girl against 4 grown men, trained police officers, and they're claiming THEY were assaulted?! Seriously, words fail me.
Let's hope Mr. Obama can do something about America's slide into becoming a fascist police state. If he can't, then god help the American people.
