ST.PETE POLICE REFERRED TO A BLACK VICTIM AS A RACIAL SLUR

This is why so many crimes in the black community go unsolved. When they ask “why we don’t collaborate with the police” it’s because we don’t trust them to have our best interest in heart. It’s sad when you call the police as a tax paying citizens that’s a victim and then get treated as the criminal in their eyes.

As a black woman, my stomach turns watching this video.  This incident goes far beyond questioning the ethics of law enforcement.  The actions taken against these women were nothing short of rape and both officers should be charged accordingly.  Although many may view this as two incompetent police officers, I believe this was a premeditated scenario and these two women were the unfortunate victims that day.  The whole thing is wrong and suspicious.  From not being allowed to clothe themselves, being handcuffed in their bathing suits, and only 1 glove between 2 different police cars for such a classic insignificant and unsubstantiated accusation – “I smell weed”.  After what they endured, they deserve every single dollar from the lawsuit.

The family of the slain man, 68-year-old Kenneth Chamberlain Sr., promptly said they would ask federal authorities to open a probe of the racially charged case.

“I have to question what evidence was presented to the grand jury . . .
