Plainclothes allegedly police beat up 12-year-old honor student girl then arrest her 3 weeks later

Plainclothes allegedly police beat up 12-year-old honor student girl then arrest her 3 weeks later - Boing Boing:

"Who can blame Galveston plainclothes police who thought a 12-year-old girl standing outside her house (flipping the switch on the circuit breaker as her mother has asked her to do) was a prostitute? After all, she was wearing 'tight shorts' according to the vigilant officers, and she happened to live only two blocks away from a location where someone had complained that prostitution was taking place.

So the three brave officers did the natural thing: they allegedly jumped the girl and beat her up, according to Courthouse News and the Houston Press.
