(2,541 posts)What even more atrocious is that Davenport still remains at her position. She should be at the very least disbarred at the very best disbarred and seeking a lawyer to represent her against charges.
Her holier then thou attitude should DQ her from any position of authority.

But too many people still want to play down bigotry.
When we talk about reparations for black people the talk is usually about slavery but it's things like this which are a bigger reason for it.
Black kids including innocent ones (which is most of them) are treated worse than white criminals in this country.
