The police officer who arrested Tammy Cooper said he received a call that her children were playing in the street unsupervised. Cooper said she was sitting in a chair on her porch a few feet away at the time.
After reviewing the details of the case, the Harris County District Attorney dropped the charges, but that didn’t prevent Cooper from spending a night in jail. And now, the La Porte mom is suing the police department.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
I used to live in a townhouse community with a public playground in the center. But local mothers would prefer their kids would play in the streets so they could watch them as they made dinner versus the safer playground because they couldn't see them.
Maybe they just didn't want to get arrested.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Wow, guess playing on the street isn't a safe practice any more.
But I doubt suing is going to get her anything other than notoriety.
