While I could assume you are white, I did not know that you are white until you told me. There are white people who have had negative experiences with law enforcement. There are racial and ethnic minorities who have had positive experiences with law enforcement.

I do not need more info to believe that an unarmed 12 year old child should not be tasered. The investigation could determine that the officer did not violate policies and technically did not overreact. I will still believe that an unarmed 12 year old child should not be tasered. I am talking about children being tasered and not just whether this little girl should have been tasered based on the details of what happened at Victoria Secrets.
