He probably meant they weren't Ethiopian. Unusually literate for a cop, though.

why not say "american born", or "non-immigrant". Native-born is confusing...

love the prose..in this day and age of officers being sued for just doing their work..a detailed report such as this probably covers some backsides..well done officer debella!

You're confusing accents with dialects. Not the same thing

Accents have to do with revealing a person's place of origin...how words sound in that place. Dialect has to do with vocabulary and grammatical changes...using different words in different ways.

Why are most of the Police Beat reports about Black People? I would like to think that the Stranger is a alternative News outlet and not only reporting on the crimes of "black" people. Unlike the Major news outlets that are overly racist in their reports
