Did anyone notice the odd shift between the 1st paragraph and the others?
The 1st paragraph says "four black teenagers"
But the rest of the paragraphs state them as: "found the four children on the ground" and "The officer let the children stand up," and "two of the four children were wearing football jerseys."

Maybe she is a racist. Maybe she is not. I do not know what is in her heart. Neither do you. I would not react the way she did. Most normal people would not either. Again she was arrested.
Which means a way high number are considered criminals. Some say 90%. Some say 1/20. Whatever way the math works, it always comes out the same. The argument continues with blacks being the cause of white people reacting with suspicion. Some might even say a white person has every right to react first with distrust and perhaps pull a gun without question. This means in many cases, simply being black and 'out of place' equals being guilty of criminal behavior.
Are you actually claiming that 90% of all black people are criminals? Are you insane?
There are more than 37 million black people in this country. You really think 33 million of them are criminals?
Right off the bat 6% of them are going to be under the age of 5. Another 16% are senior citizens. So if you are correct every single black person over the age of 5 up to the age of 65 are criminals and half of the senior citizens. Additionally there are over 100K black police officers in the US, for your stats to be right, they must all be criminals. Another 300K members of the military who are black would also have to be criminals.
It is common for young thugs to disguise themselves as students - or claim to be students - and knock on doors with some request. What they are really looking for is an empty home.
So call the cops. Don't attack them and hold them at gun point.
Nearly all mass shooters are white males in their 20s, should we hold all of them at gun point if they are seen in public?
Why are all four teens going door to door together, why not split up?
Because schools suggest students travel together for their safety. If it was just a single black kid going door to door who knows if this woman would have shot him straight out.
Notice that her husband works at the jail. Lord knows what stories she hears every day.
It's an interesting problem. Of course it's racist, of course there's justification for her fears, of course it's a gross overreaction. I guess you'd have to be there to pass judgement.
Actually no, what she did was illegal, she is being charged, and you don't have to be there to pass judgement. That is a nonsense argument.
Would this have been a story if the races had been reversed? I wonder.
If the races had been reversed, the black woman holding the gun on the white teens would have been shot before the police had stopped the car all the way.

You don't know that. You made an ignorant statement. You have zero facts to back up anything you just said!
I mentioned her sweetie because you seem to forget in your bashing of the entire state that she used to be their first lady. So yes, you made it about her but my joke pretending you were talking about Hillary went over your head.
Please regale us with your knowledge of Arkansas and extensive travels there.
Grew up in Alabama with family in Little Rock. You couldn't pay me to live there and that is all you need to know.
Pulling a gun on children fundraising is normal????
Pulling a gun because of statistical evidence that a particular type of person commits violent crimes at a higher rate than everyone else appears to a normal response for those defending the woman's reaction.
