Detroit police have not always been known for being empathetic to people or for having knowledge about the law. In this case I believe the arresting officer had those problems along with the fact that it was obvious I was not going too far.

I can't help but think of African Americans who never know how they will be treated by the police, or if they will live to tell the tale. There are so many good policemen/women, but it only takes a few rotten ones to ruin the credibility of the entire force.Colettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13929646037752189809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-10829668289248110472018-10-02T07:25:27.458-05:002018-10-02T07:25:27.458-05:00That is disgusting that they separated you from fa...That is disgusting that they separated you from family and a baby and left them on the side walk.

Because I have not had my license during a traffic check, they make you drop by the police station later to show your license. <br /><br />Separating children from parents is not good judgement.Ann Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17759967601352382204noreply@blogger.com
