Santa Monica’s police chief Wednesday defended her officers and a 911 caller after a black executive claimed that, because of her race, she was detained as a burglary suspect at her own home.
Fay Wells wrote in a piece published by the Washington Post that she locked herself out of her apartment late one night in September and called a locksmith to get back inside. A neighbor — whom Wells described as white — called 911, reporting a burglary in progress. That triggered a response by at least 16 officers who detained Wells at gunpoint, according to her article.
Wells identified herself in the Post as a vice president of strategy for an unnamed California company.

My latest.
Murder convictions of American police are as rare/difficult as convicting whites for lynching in 1892.

As during 90 years of American lynching, American Police know full well that the odds they are convicted for murder are far less than 1%.
