Final arguments in trial against 12-year-old girl mistaken for hooker - Boing Boing
robot-heart-politics:ceallaigh:katharinec:travors:
Because we’re too busy bitching about the octuplets lady? Yah, this story is pretty horrifying. I wish it was getting more attention. I’ve been trying to follow it for a little while - I keep hoping it’ll bubble up onto the radar a bit more, but no such luck…The Houston Press reports that final arguments are being held in the criminal assault trial against Dymond Milburn who was 12 years old when four Galveston police officers (David Roark, Justin Popovich, Sean Stewart, and Sgt. Gilbert Gomez) allegedly beat her up with a flashlight and threatened to shoot her puppy, while she was in her yard attending to tripped circuit breaker.
Three weeks later, police showed up at Milburn’s school and arrested her for assault. Hence, the trial against her.Why aren’t the media screaming about this?
I think the better explanation for why the media hasn’t picked it up is because the little girl is black. This is appalling and someone should be covering it. But they won’t, unless the little girl miraculously turns white overnight.
Please note that this little girl was originally arrested for prostitution because there had been reports of white prostitutes in the neighborhood.
