Just saying 'sic' to express a complex point is almost as bad in terms of elocution as me.
you describe one as a "woman" and the other as a "black

?? The former could have been latino, could have been native american, could
have been west asian mixed-quote-race. You can't really tell everyone's
so-called race by glancing at them and not meeting them. I'll stop talking
about this local stuff on this economics/academics listserve now. I do know
that this white officer had racist intent when he singled out the second
woman to attack. Picture more predominantly euro-american backup officers
standing nearby with snapping german shepherds. I know it when I see it. to
not mention her race would be racist. I also saw them completely fabricate
two serious false charges and try to screw up the life of the only
african-japanese-brazilian american present (who I appreciate because he
actually accomplishes things rather than discusses).
