Brickbat: A Mistake Anyone Could Make

Shane Lee Brown, then 23, spent six days in a Las Vegas jail in 2020 after cops arrested him on a warrant for Shane Neal Brown, then 49. In addition to the age difference, Shane Neal Brown is white and is taller than Shane Lee Brown, who is black. Shane Lee Brown is now suing the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the Henderson, Nevada, police department, which made his initial arrest, for civil rights violations, false imprisonment, negligence and other wrongful conduct.

Brown should wait to sue until he gets the bill from LVPD for housing and feeding him during his totally-not-arrested accommodation.

Last month i managed to pull my first five figure paycheck ever!!! I’ve been working for this company online for 2 years now and i never been happier… They are paying me $95/per hour and the best thing is cause i am not that tech-savvy, they only asked for basic understanding of internet and basic typing skill… VBn It’s been an amazing experience working with them and i wanted to share this with you, because they are looking for new people to join their team now and i highly recommend to everyone to apply…

The cops really blue the Brown case, which is literally quite black and white!

That's the tall and short of it.

Shane is obviously unfamiliar with the "Close Enough for Government Work" clause of the Constitution.

Totally reasonable mistake, what with those magically shapeshifting colored peoples out there.

Close enough for government work! Also works with unions.

Thank God the cops don’t have those, can you imagine?—-OH, DAMN!!

[Rubbish!]

But what did he identify as? if it was "Middle-aged man, white", then yeah, anybody could have made that mistake.

You libertarians want the government to be color-blind, and now that it is, you're bitching about it!

Those cops had to make a split second decision and were just focused on getting home safe.
