I didn't know Bellaire was know for racial profiling. If anything it's the MOST racially,religious and geographically diverse upper-middle to upper class neighborhoods in the city.

It's a shame. It seems like a pretty clear-cut case of it, too, in this instance. That poor kid. They say they won't ever be able to remove the bullet from his liver, he's unable to speak, and he may never be able to play baseball again.
I don't know if it's Bellaire PD or one bad cop.

Interesting:
Bellaire, Texas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Looks very similar to Friendswood or the Woodlands. The only difference is location. |

In comparison to Memorial, Tanglewood/Briargrove,Southampton and certain sections of River Oaks, it is diverse. |

That's 6% Asian.
And yeah - I guess we'll see what really shakes out for the 2010 census. But if this site is the most current vs. wiki, then it's 83% 'non diverse' (in doublespeak) instead of 89%. That still doesn't say very much. A lot of people moved all over the metro since 2000.

They're hardly "ghetto."

According to HCAD they are living in a $309,000 house. Which actually translates to at or above 400,000 when you go to sell it. So that would be upper-middle at the least.
There're plenty of black families in Bellaire. It had more to do with the car. Either way the cop was in serious error.
