olice Get The Wrong House In Galveston, Allegedly Assault 12-Year-Old Girl

It was a little before 8 at night when the breaker went out at Emily Milburn's home in Galveston. She was busy preparing her children for school the next day, so she asked her 12-year-old daughter, Dymond, to pop outside and turn the switch back on.

As Dymond headed toward the breaker, a blue van drove up and three men jumped out rushing toward her. One of them grabbed her saying, "You're a prostitute. You're coming with me."

Dymond grabbed onto a tree and started screaming, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy." One of the men covered her mouth. Two of the men beat her about the face and throat.

As it turned out, the three men were plain-clothed Galveston police officers who had been called to the area regarding three white prostitutes soliciting a white man and a black drug dealer.


All this is according to a lawsuit filed in Galveston federal court by Milburn against the officers. The lawsuit alleges that the officers thought Dymond, an African-American, was a hooker due to the "tight shorts" she was wearing, despite not fitting the racial description of any of the female suspects. The police went to the wrong house, two blocks away from the area of the reported illegal activity, Milburn's attorney, Anthony Griffin, tells Hair Balls.

After the incident, Dymond was hospitalized and suffered black eyes as well as throat and ear drum injuries.

Three weeks later, according to the lawsuit, police went to Dymond's school, where she was an honor student, and arrested her for assaulting a public servant. Griffin says the allegations stem from when Dymond fought back against the three men who were trying to take her from her home. The case went to trial, but the judge declared it a mistrial on the first day, says Griffin. The new trial is set for February.MORE

This happened two years ago, it seems. Why on earth was this not national news?

Oh, right. The girl was Black. So it's okay.

I read this in debunkingwhite and puked a little in my mouth. A kid resisting a kidnapping and her father protecting her =! assaulting an officer.

Fucking ridiculous.

And what the shit, I can't find any news source for this outside of blogs. Who wrote the story originally? There needs more mainstream media coverage.

Ah, black people. Not important. Not news. Now the latest missing white girl story, THAT's fodder for Nancy Grace!

this needs to get around...

remember how jena 6 floated around blogs for about a year before it got on the mainstream news? so fucking tiresome...it's hard to know what to point regular people to when there aren't formal sources.

We may need to create them ... I forwarded unusualmusic's link on to the news desk at the New York Times. Here's hoping.
