The Answer
PM_Mama,
I can answer the original article that you posted as to why...
Let's look at the article. White man married to a black woman, living in a predominately black neighborhood, being "slurred" by a group of black teens......... Honestly, I'm surprised that the police did anything at all because when it comes to predominately black neighborhoods, the police are slow to react to anything that is considered "black on black".
I think if this had been a entirely "white" family and this was happening to them in a white neighborhood, yes, you are right, the police would have arrested those teens in a heartbeat.
But because this is a white guy married to a black women, living in a black neighborhood, I just don't think that law enforcement saw this as a serious matter. When it comes to predominatley black neighborhood, that usually is the case unfortunately. It also makes me wonder WHEN did law enforcement decide to do something....was it before or after this story went public....who knows......
