That is so shocking to me emotionally! Very sad and disgusting!! That cop ought to be ashamed of himself.

Sadly, I have my intellectual side that isn't real surprised though. ~ I was born in Chicago. All of my family is from there, but I grew up in California. My family is racial. I've always hated it, and they defend their behavior by referring to dangerous riots that occurred in the South side in the 60's and 70's. California isn't segregated like Chicago. There aren't Polish, German, Irish, Jewish, etc. neighborhoods there. There are low-income neighborhoods ~ some with African-Americans, others with Mexican-Americans, and a few with Asian-Americans. White people are peppered in as well.

I wonder if you were to move to a different part of Illinois, if your husband would still have the troubles? Or if you need to get out of the midwest completely? You shouldn't have to move away in order to be treated fairly. It's not right at all! Sadly, certain parts of the US is still socially living in the dark ages.

I hope that you can get some assistance to help with groceries. Thank goodness that you had the money it took to get your hub back though!!

Big hugs to you and your family!
