Another one for the "Really?" file.

It's bad enough that three policemen, at the wrong house, looking for three white prostitutes, tried to arrest a 12-year-old black girl as one of their suspects, and beat her so that she had to be hospitalized and suffered ear drum injury.
But then, instead of apologizing to the traumatized girl, who's still having nightmares about the incident two years later, they try to sue her and her father for assaulting a public servant, because they tried to fight back against the ridiculously bungled arrest by plain-clothes policeman who just jumped out of an unmarked van and began attacking the girl, who had stepped out of her home to turn on a breaker switch.
The first case was a mistrial, and the new case it set for February.
WTF, Galveston, Texas? Really?
