		<description><![CDATA[The Law states that a prisoner is to be released into a SAFE environment, now if your response is, &quot;She&#039;s an adult and cant be held&quot;, its because you DONT know the WHOLE story!!

The call from Geoffrey&#039;s CLEARLY stated that Mitrice was acting CRAZY and STRANGE while speaking in gibberish and stating that she was from Mars. She was arrested for having no $$ to pay a tab while Geoffrey&#039;s REFUSED payment over the phone by her 92 year old Great Grandmother (who does not drive at night) whom they demanded a faxed copy of the card from at 10:30pm at night. 
THE 3 MALE SHERIFFS (It illegal for Male officers to search and book Female suspects by the way) who searched Mitrice and her car DID NOT REQUEST a Psychiatric Evaluation despite finding that she had CREDIT CARDS AND CHECKS IN HER PURSE (which she left in the car that night) THE WHOLE TIME! She was CLEARLY not in the right frame of mind and the calls about her acting bizarr where indeed TRUE!!!!--- THAT’S LASD NEGLIGENCE! 

There are a million and ten lies on the part of the LASD- most recently- For the 5 out of 6 months Mitrice has been missing, the footage of her being booked into the station &quot;DID NOT EXIST&quot; because of supposed equipment failure. All of a sudden Lt. Rosson reveals he&#039;s had the tape in his top drawer the whole time and is able to show it to a few family members yet is DENYING the family a copy of it? 

The Lost Hills Station is being rewarded for BEST COVER UP! God will see the worthy through as all things come to light and I would NOT want to be standing next to anyone involved in Mitrice&#039;s disappearance on a rainy day.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The deplorable way in which the media ignores kidnapped/missing Black women and children is beyond sickening. Mitrice came across as sweet in the video I saw of her at beauty pageants. Perhaps a man at the restaurant slipped something in her drink; at any rate, she was clearly suffering from a mental breakdown and needed help.  The cops acknowledge her words were odd, yet they claim to have released her into the dark of night without transportation nor her cell phone. No woman should be treated in such a heartless manner; it was even more dangerous considering her mental state. If she were white, they would have driven her back to her car or given her a ride home. Many people believe those cops sexually assaulted her and hid the body. The cops certainly are hiding something big.]]></description>

“Mommy Loves You Mitrice!” 

In an exclusive interview with ReelUrbanNews.com Latice Sutton, the mother of missing person, Mitrice Richardson, admits that she believes foul play may be involved in her daughter’s disappearance. “That thought has crossed my mind. I have many scenarios, foul play being one of them.” 

                             

  

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, 24 year-old Mitrice Richardson was last seen upon release from their custody at the Lost Hills substation in Malibu, Calif. near the hour of 12:30 a.m. on September 17, 2009. When asked does she believe that her daughter is still alive, Latice Sutton provides the following emotional statement: “I hold on to that every day. I want to believe that she (Mitrice) is still alive. I hold on to that every day until God show’s me something different.”  

  

At the time of our ReelurbanNews.com interview, Mitrice Richardson was missing for 45 days and according to Mrs. Sutton obtaining information from law enforcement regarding their efforts to locate her daughter has been a struggle. “My contact with the police has been very limited. Throughout the entire process there has been an unwillingness to reveal any information, to get the FBI involved or to expand the search.”  

  

In addition to foul play, Mrs. Sutton believes race may be a factor in law enforcements lack luster efforts to find her daughter. “Be it class, is that an issue? Was it race? I feel those are fair area’s to address.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don&#039; get pulled over in Malibu! Years ago I was pulled over on Pacific Coast Highway for a presumed traffic violation by the Malibu Police. An elderly woman had cut me off and I had to go around her to avoid hitting her and creating an accident. The malibu Police Officers witnessed this, pulled us over and let the elderly Malibu resident go. Upon being pulled over by the two officers they asked me to get out of my car and the moment they found out I was from the San Fernando Valley and not Malibu they put me through the ringer with the most elaborate balance and mobility tests in the world. Mind you, I had nothing to drink that evening, yet they rudely ordered me around and conducted these following tests while barking at me: oh yeah, and the two of them traded off as they conducted their “hazing”: Recite the Alphabet a-z Recite the Alphabet z-a Hop on one foot and go forward Now Switch feet and hop in a circle until we say stop Put your hands behind your back, close your eyes and lean back Count forward using odd numbers and don’t stop until we tell you Close your eyes and point your chin to the sky keep you head back and do not move your feet at all Keep your eyes on the eraser of my pencil as I move it around and try to make you dizzy Walk backwards for 100 feet through rubble on PCH and don’t fall. What is 12X13? Upon passing all their mindless mobility tests. I was ordered back in my car and received a citation. As I was driving away from these Malibu redneck officers, I stopped at a stop light. They raced up behind me with their lights in full panic mode and pulled up next to me and they yelled angrily “Go back to the valley and stay out of Malibu!” At that time I was in my mid twenties, in college, drove a nice car, was dressed nicely, and was very respectful to these officers during the “hazing”. The reason why I bore you all with this story is that I can only imagine what the Malibu Police potentially/allegedly put this poor women of color through when they picked her up. Malibu aledgedly hates and despises all non-locals and this poor woman most likely could have received similar or worse treatment. Shame on Geoffreys for caling the police on a mere $89.00 charge. SHAME ON THEM!I had eaten there in the late 80’s and 90’s and the food was lackluster, overpriced and overrated and everyone had some type of attitude including the creepy valet who was pushing his script. OHHH I AM A SCREENWRITER. NO YOU ARE NOT, YOU ARE A CAR PARKING VALET. I had sent food back numerous times due to many indicators. IS THIS WHAT HAPPENED? SHE DIDN”T AGREE WITH THE BILL AS SHE POTENTIALLY SENT FOOD BACK? Maybe/alledgedly the food made her sick potentially the fontina cheese. Maybe it potentially was the cheese that made her ill. If this is indeed what she consumed that evening. Who KNOWS? GEOFFREY”S KNOWS!. WHAT COULD SHE HAVE HAD THAT WAS $89.00? Hey Geoffrey’s I ALLEDGE you are the ones to blame for this girls disappearance. Yes YOU! TAKE RESPONSIBILITY! If the young lady couldn’t pay her bill, and was acting weird why wouldn’t you un-talented nobody’s call her family to come pick her up!? Just ask for her license. Let her wash dishes or send her a bill in the mail! YOU DON”T CALL THE POLICE ON CUSTOMERS BECAUSE THEY CAN”T PAY THEIR BILL. SHAME ON YOU GEOFFREYS! When I ate at your “dive” your card reader was having problems reading credit cards. MAYBE THIS IS WHY YOU DIDN”T GET PAID because you were too cheap to get a good card reader system and this poor woman couldn’t pay because your card reader is as old as your stale menu and whispering waitstaff! Remind me not to go to you for help if I happen to be in the area and need it. THIS GIRL IS PROBABLY MISSING BECAUSE OF GEOFFREYS ALLEDGED INABILITY TO HANDLE THE SITUATION AT THEIR RESTARAUNT SHAME ON THEM!!SHAME ON GEOFFREY’S! I feel so badly for this poor woman and her family. Please pray for her safe retun home to her family and friends. I hope that the stupidity and ignorance and non caring of the people that had her arrested will be made known. SHAME ON THEM!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a 43 year old White american....and I am sick to my stomach at how the police acted in this case. I will help as much as I can to get the word out about Mitrice RIchardson. The fact that you imply that only black people would care about this situation is sad. Its a human story, not a black white story. How the LAPD acted in this case is irresponsible and a VERY careless act. You dont let a young women Black or White into the night with no phone or ride. Idiots...she was easy prey. SICK.

		<description><![CDATA[Thank you for sharing this. I heard nothing about this on the East Coast. Indeed both of these young ladies are women of color, but the stigma behind a black woman is starkly different than that of a Asian/Asian-American female attending Yale. Although, I think part of the media attention of Ms. Le is due to the fact that she was found dead and foul play was clearly involved. 
As for Ms. Richardson, there should be some outside scrutiny on the behavior of the Malibu police. Setting a young woman out at one o&#039;clock in the morning without any means to get in contact with someone, or access to her own vehicle is downright negligent. I think it&#039;s agreed that no one would ever find that treatment acceptable under any circumstance.]]></description>

I won&#039;t take the time to write a lengthy response to your posting because I do not want to derail the discussion of and concern for  Ms. Richardson&#039;s disappearance.  Instead, I will direct you to a few websites that might help you become better informed.

I just thought you might like to know that Asian Americans, like all minority groups fall victim to unfair stereotypes, racism and discrimination, and they are in fact often victimized, marginalized and ignored.  

Asian Americans do speak out against (or in your words &quot;yap about&quot;) how they are treated in the media, by the courts, and in many other venues.  Please note that one of the stereotypes that Asian Americans often find themselves subject to, and strongly object to, is that of the &quot;model minority.&quot;  See below.

Marginalized:

Victimized:

We need to address the worth of Africans in America as far as the &quot;majority&quot; is concerned.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@ susan,

What is &quot;ugly&quot; is the dearth of media coverage. And neither police officers nor the media lumps women (or people) of color into one marginalized group. they (the police and media)  discriminate against black americans disproportionately relative to other racial groups. 

I am hoping for a positive outcome. 

Peace to the Richardson and Le families. kzs]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;There is an ugly undercurrent in the way you insert mention of the murdered of Ms. Le, who by the way is another woman of color and whose group has been victimized, marginalized and ignore except when the story can be sensationalized and being murdered at a Ivy League school will do that.&quot;


I don&#039;t know where you get off speaking for Asian Americans. In fact, on a per capita  basis, they are highest achieving/highest earning racial group in the U.S. That hardly fits your self-serving narrative of &quot;victimized, marginalized, ignored.&quot; They don&#039;t yap about being a minority in a country that is 70% white. Their ancestors weren&#039;t asked to come here, they came with the intention of making something of themselves. They just go to school, work hard, and succeed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just heard about this sister on yesterday and NOT ONE TIME DID THE NEWS SAY SHE WAS MISSING FOR A WEEK!!! This is an outrage and somethig should be done. As a victim of the so- called police department who aren&#039;t anything more than puppets with badges and guns, there needs to be a clean sweep and or physco analysis and behavior classes for these people. They are arrogant and for them to say they are BABYSITTERS!!!! Their job is to protect and serve the CITIZENS which most of them have no idea who the citizens are. They should be punished because I agree with the parents...they handed her over on a silver platter and could really care less. But.......if she were European( White) it would have been interruptions and such.]]></description>
