Racist cops? Teen girl snatched from black guardians by Houston PD

2014-04-19 3 Dailymotion

In what looks yet another cut and dry case of racial profiling by uniformed officers, Houston police snatched a white 13-year-old girl away from her black teachers -her legal guardians at the time- and whisked her away to child protection services. <br /><br />Landry Thompson and dance instructor Emmanuel Hurd, both from Oklahoma, had travelled to Houston to attend a dance workshop and had stopped in to a gas station in the evening, on the way back to their hotel.<br /><br />As they were getting their bearings on the car's GPS, Hurd dozed off. Moments later police arrived and surrounded the group's car.<br /><br />Thompson and Hurd say police then yanked them from the vehicle without warning or explanation. According to Hurd, both dance teachers were ordered to put their hands behind their backs. <br /><br />Officers then put handcuffs on Thompson and sat her in the back of a patrol car before taking her to state child protection services. <br /><br />After repeated calls to authorities from her her mother, Thompson was eventually released back to Hurd. Houston police have not offered an explanation for their actions. <br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
