White Grandfather, Scott Henson Cuffed By Police for Walking with Black Granddaughter! Why the Police were Right!

Austin, Texas, Scott Henson, a political consultant who blogs about the criminal justice system at Grits For Breakfast  was walking home happily accessorized by his lovely granddaughter Ty, who happens to be black. It was not long before he was approached by a female deputy who informed Henson that there was a report of a white man that had kidnapped a black girl. The deputy then asked Henson to step away from the Negro.

The deputy took Ty aside and questioned her. Ty was quick to inform the deputy that the white man she was with was her grandfather. Satisfied, the officer released Henson and Ty, who continued to walk home before they were mobbed by several squad cars. Henson was cuffed and Ty was questioned again. Ultimately, Henson provided numbers and information that proved that he was indeed the grandfather and he and Ty were released.

Would this even be a story had all the parties involved been white or black? Would the story have been purposefully sensationalized and given a racial undertone? Would the title of the story have undergone a yahoo-fication and a gross misleading of web surfers? Of course not! In fact, people would be applauding the vigilant nature of the police and their prompt response and I can definitely say I would be the first to join that praise band wagon.

What?? But I'm black, and generally don't like cops?

I see it this way, if there were actual reports that a white man had kidnapped a black girl then damn right some white dude should be cuffed and detained that day or at least aggressively interrogated. Cops have protocol, it's not always that they will ask a suspect out to drinks and a movie to question them, there are many things they have to consider like their own safety for instance.

If there is ever a report that a white girl has kidnapped me, I want every white girl hanging around with a black guy of the description: "6"0, tall, dark, handsome, charming with an athletic build" to be tasered immediately, blindfolded, beaten and questioned, just in case.

As for black people, don't even try to be upset about this one. The police actually responded to a case involving us ~ promptly, even though most of us know and complain that they are usually lackadaisical about cases involving black folk. So honestly have a coke and smile, and enjoy the feeling of being an equal citizen for a change.
