This is the CNN interview where she defends not giving her ID to police. It seems to me almost used as a way to get her name relevant again . I also love how she admits in the actual footage her boyfriend took that she is bringing up the race card. Seems to me just show ID and go on with your life . There does seem to be a difference in stories from the caller ' lewd public acts' and the accused having a fully clothed make-out session. I've never been tempted to call the police fro two people making out.

CNN runs this as the lead story, while ignoring ISIS. CNN is increasingly irrelevant.

re: photofinish

important story, legacy of slavery, and on the heels of michael brown murder.

what the actress said is correct.

aclu (and cnn apparently) may want to make sure harassment doesn't escalate to police violence but the real solution is to acknowledge the evil of slavery and end the racism that still poisons our culture.

Agreed. There are actually pressing global issues going on and they care more about dumbing down stories and sensationalizing everything. Mainstream media companies are turning into complete garbage.
