A teenager on a field trip to see a Detroit court ended up in jail clothes and handcuffs because a judge said he didn’t like her attitude

The teen was seeing King's court as part of a visit organized by The Greening of Detroit, a nonprofit environmental group. During the visit, King noticed the girl falling asleep, WXYZ reported.

wtf The fuck is an environmental group doing court tours for?

I hope the family can sue either the court or the org. Just what the hell was the purpose of it?

      A lot of judges are former defense attorneys or are otherwise skeptical of the police; they do have their own set of problems, though.

      I want to learn more about Cuba's system, where a professional judge sits with two ordinary citizens on longish (a year I think) terms. I think that could cut out a lot of petty tyrant shit like this, and also improve the quality of decisions overall.
