...not something that's equally required of all people.
Black people have to follow every damned rule to the letter or we're guilty of something. That young lady might have ended up in jail because some dickhead spelled her name wrong when she registered.
Let me back up... she had to show her ID and be questioned by police, yet she COMMITTED NO CRIME, and the police could not even give her a valid reason why LAW ENFORCEMENT was responding.
LAW ENFORCEMENT.
This is something an RA should have handled.
I bet that young lady will be sure to make sure she doesn't "alarm" anyone in the future. That might mean no walks through the park, no sitting on a park bench, no looking at things that don't belong to her, no touching anything, not talking out of place, not showing any scary emotions, etc.
I've had friends arrested and detained for hours, all because they didn't have their ID on them when they decided to walk to the corner store.
