Umm... stayfaded is not a troll. I've never met her IRL but she and I have spoken by phone. She's young and in need of help, hence why she posted in TDS. Evidently, another person who's given a response to this thread knows her IRL and is just as concerned as we all are.
Stayfaded said in her original post that she took off with her computer, hence why she was able to post.
Stayfaded, please stay in touch once you are able to again. Rangrz is correct although the jurisdiction is different. From what I can surmise, Stayfaded was securing the well-being of her kittens. The police should not have construed that as a threat - while I understand that the officer may have thought there was a gun or other threat in the other room, this is no excuse to treat a minor as a criminal. The last I checked, it's not illegal for anyone to ensure the safety of their pets. If a cop busted down my door, I'd certainly do what I could to make sure my own feline sons were safe.
The remarks about Stayfaded's ethnic background were totally out of line. Even here in the US we expect a certain level of decorum from the police. We pay their salaries - and in my very few encounters with them (not related to engaging in any criminal activity) I have not been hesitant to remind them that my tax dollars are paying for their lifestyle. I expect the police to "protect and serve" - not act like jackasses. I expect better from my public servants than to make racially charged remarks against minors. They ought to tell it to a judge and see what (s)he says.
Most importantly, Stayfaded - keep your wits about you, and do the best you can to ensure your safety and the safety of your sister. Please check in when you are able. I don't have your number in my new phone, but you know how to reach me. Much strength to you and lil sis.
