Poor woman. Let’s hope the settlement from her wrongful arrest lawsuit at least pays off her PhD. student loans.

@pebonilla I would have bet a million dollars on her skin color. So depressing.

@blingdomepiece @pebonilla Yeah. I knew she was black before I clicked on the news link that gave her picture. This doesn't happen to white people.

@pebonilla is there legal aid for "clearing things up with the cops"? Because the current "minimum constitutionaly allowed" representation isn't going to cover that.
