Lifesaving Advice From A Black Woman HELD AT GUNPOINT BY POLICE

[DFW]

29. This reminded me of something that happened to me 30 years ago

Not exactly similar, as no lives were in danger or guns drawn (it was in Switzerland, after all), but the anger and the insult of automatically being assumed to be something we were not--I can SO relate.

The difference is that the incident so shocked the people at the top, they incorporated it into their permanent training manual, and the offending party was subjected to immediate (and humiliating) discipline--not that it placated two girls aged 2 and 4 who did not understand the concepts of the injustice committed nor the attempt at rectification.

In Tennessee, the off-duty killer cop (and I fully believe he was a heartbeat away from becoming that) will receive no reprimand, and probably no further training to remove the lethal threat that he obviously still is.
