Don’t expect me as middle aged white male to disagree with you here. There’s no question they were arrested because of their race. The cops are in I general horrific and violent for arresting children under 10 to begin. But the grotesqueness of the this case goes into the depraved: arresting small children for not jumping in to stop a fight. It’s surreal that police officers could be so stupid, dumb and ‘Neanderthaly’ to arrest anyone for not intervening. What, did they want the girls to get hit in the face? They should be fired, and I’m sure there is a fat chance of that. But at least be outed and sued. I hope the girls were released and the family’s issued an apology by the school, the school board and the chief of police. Do you know what happened? These poor children. Unfortunately, I do know the discipline statistics of how blacks are vastly punished disproportionately for minor infractions compared to whites and it is racism.
