Picture the scene: 16-year-old girl attending her friend's birthday party in the school cafeteria. Someone bumps her and she drops her cake. Security guard orders her to clean it up, but when she does, he is not satisfied. When she refuses to do any more, he twists her arm behind her back, breaking her wrist, and slams her head onto a table while saying, "Hold still nappy head."
Oh yeah, the guard is white and the student, Pleajhai Mervin, is black.
So for dropping the cake accidentally, she's charged with littering. And for breaking her wrist against the guard's hand, she's charged with battery.
So, another student catches all this on his cellphone video. The guards try to stop him, then beat and arrest him.
Yeah, you can see the video:
The sister of that kid intervenes, and the guard arrests her.
The mother of the girl with the broken wrist shows up at school demanding the guard be arrested, and she is arrested. The school principal claims she pushed her.
The mother is also a school district employee, and she ends up suspended.

How about making the x-rays showing that her arm is broken via the times "Public" to show, them there "White Devils" are out to get those poor straight shootin black people.
Come on, I'm sure you can get them to the Times to publish, Right LaTrisha! You are her Mom and you have no problem getting them. That will show the world the truth!
