    The family of a 10-year-old Black boy who was arrested and placed in a cell for relieving himself in a parking lot say they will file a federal civil rights lawsuit against a Mississippi city unless police officers involved in the detention are fired.    
    Quantavious Eason was detained and taken to a police station in Senatobia after an officer spotted him urinating behind a car outside a law office last month while his mother was inside getting advice on a housing issue.    
    LaToya Eason questioned if her son’s race influenced officers’ decision to take him away in a police car and place him in a cell for almost an hour. “Would you have put a white child in a cage? If it had been a white child, he probably wouldn’t have even been stopped,” she told a news conference this week.

      Well good news then, because you won’t. People generally don’t want to defecate in public, meaning that even if there’s no punishment for it, it won’t suddenly start happening left and right. Your chances of encountering human poop won’t significantly increase.

      Let me guess, you’re an anti-masker aren’t you?

      Quite the opposite, I’m still wearing masks when shopping or on public transit, even when everyone else in my area seems to have stopped caring.
