How did I know, without looking, that the woman in question was black?
And that the police officer in question would say he feared for his safety?
The sad, sad story.
Even sadder is the comments section. Even knowing how Yahoo is the septic tank of sociopathic typings, looking at some of them just made me wnt to beat my head in. Immediately blaming the father for putting her in a dangerous situation and calling him a lowlife, and other such nonsense. I did read the article rather quickly, but I cannot recall seeing anything that hinted at a criminal record or such. Surprise surprise, people pulling assumptions out of their asses and blaming the victims. One of those moments that make me question whether or not humans truly have higher intelligence.
Spread the word. Add this to the long list of documented instances of out-of-control police in the St. Louis area. Keep the pressure on, any way we can.
