…”Codified segregation of public schools has been barred since Brown. But in too many of our school districts, significant divisions persist and segregation has reoccurred – including zero-tolerance school discipline practices that, while well-intentioned and aimed at promoting school safety, affect black males at a rate three times higher than their white peers”…

A Doctor’s Concern – The lawsuit stems back to an incident that occurred on May 22, 2011. A psychiatrist, Dr. Michelle Bentle, phoned police to report that a patient had expressed a suicidal thought during an outpatient appointment; the woman had received some bad news and privately expressed grief during a difficult appointment.
At approximately noon, Milwaukee Police were dispatched to search for Krysta Sutterfield, age 42 at the time, in order to forcibly detain her and commit her for a mandatory medical evaluation. In Wisconsin, the mere suggestion of suicide is grounds for forcible police detention.
Police had a description of Ms. Sutterfield’s vehicle but could not immediately locate her; police checked her garage and it was empty. Hours passed. At 2:45 p.m., Dr. Bentle notified police that her patient “had called her some minutes earlier stating that she was not in need of assistance and that the doctor should ‘call off’ the police search for her,” according to court documents.

I’m intentionally chopping up an article to solicit opinion because something just doesn’t sit right with this; at least to me.
The article starts out like this:
Authorities partly closed a downtown Minneapolis freeway briefly Tuesday morning as they made a “high-risk” traffic stop to detain a motorist who allegedly brandished a gun at another driver.
[…] The incident began about 6:40 a.m. on eastbound I-694 in Brooklyn Park, when a motorist called police to report that another driver was displaying a gun.
The article continues with an explanation of what they did to catch the concerning motorist: (more…)
HOUSTON TEXAS – […] Police say the teenager was using his phone in class and got physical with the substitute teacher to get it back.
“The substitute teacher confiscated a cell phone from a 16-year-old male student. The student attempted to retrieve his cell phone. He got up and shoved the substitute teacher, shoved her repeatedly and eventually shoved her to the ground,” Aldine ISD spokesperson Jason Spencer said.
The student actually walked himself to the principal’s office to turn himself in. He was charged with injury to the elderly. His name isn’t being released because he is a minor. (continue reading)
(WXYZ – video at link) – Steven Utash’s son Joe is speaking to 7 Action News about his father and says the man that was severely beaten is slowly getting his memory back and is finally home after 6 weeks of medical care.
On Thursday afternoon, Steven was released from the DMC Rehabilitation Institute and is under the care of his fiancee at his home in Macomb County.
This is the first time he’s been out of the hospital since April 2 when Utash was beaten by a mob of men after getting out of his work pick-up truck to help a 10-year-old boy he accidentally hit when the child darted into traffic on the city’s east side.
Just a wild guess, but I bet these kids have never played dodge ball either….
