It was a police station.  Oddly enough, it is a place where you
commonly see all sorts of law breaking citizens hanging around.

I have, unfortunately, had to visit the court house downtown in
the middle of the day -- traffic citation related.  From my car
to the front door, I was confronted twice by guys who claimed to
be recently released from jail and needed to borrow money.

Would anyone want their daughter having to make a similar trip?
I think any reasonable individual can make the smart call there.
(Let alone making that trip during an odd hour of the morning.)

I am not saying that I approve of whatever happened, but I will
say that it was a wise move by the SS to keep a young woman out
of that type of situation.  Poor move by the media to pull the
young Bush daughter into the media spotlight over this.

PS- Being a black male in NYC is automatically dangerous?
