Y'know, I just keep thinking, if that woman was black and her kids were black no one would have stopped to be a witness, to get her children help by calling their father. No one would have thought the police could possibly have been doing something wrong.
It is loathesome to me that people (general public) become alarmed at police incompetence and brutality when they can suddenly picture themselves in the situation, because the victim is white.
