I once witnessed an accident that left three people, one a male teenager, with injuries but they were not life threatening. I stayed with one of them until the medics got there. About that time, a black woman came up, with a white woman, and asked me if I had a pencil and a piece of scrap paper. I asked them why they wanted it and the white woman said, "We want to call the boys parents before "The Man" gets to him." Well, I'm pretty naive and I said, "What man?". And the black woman said, in exasperation, "THE POLICE".
I said, "You know, that doesn't make sense to me. The police are helping him right now." The white woman said, "That's only because there are witnesses." Then they walked away. I was dumfounded.
