Thank you Allita,
The reason I posted the story is to try to whip up the kind of action you've described.
The police department doesn't care (yes, I know some cops care - I just haven't had official dealing with any of them in a few decades apart from the ones who knew who my brother was). The media don't care. The school stopped caring as soon as it looked like they might be off the hook. The new Wayne County Prosecutor is actively hostile to black people in general and is doing his best to put as many of them as possible in jail on the weakest possible grounds for arrest. He is getting rave reviews.
I'm afraid that race does matter (maybe more than class - maybe not) in some places. I happen to live in one of those places.
