Being stopped and questioned by police came as a shock to Scott Henson, a former journalist who now researches for and blogs about the criminal justice system.

He wrote about the experience on his popular blog, "Grits for Breakfast." Henson said he was walking home from a roller skating rink with his 5-year-old granddaughter Ty, who is African-America when he was stopped by a deputy who told him there were reports of a white man kidnapping black girls. He was ordered to step away from Ty, and the officer began to question the girl.

"He's my Grandpa!" Ty said.

The officer later released Henson and Ty, who continued to walk home until they were stopped again, this time, by five flashing police cars and a crowd of police.

"The officers got out with tasers drawn demanding I raise my hands and step away from the child, I complied, and they roughly cuffed me, jerking my arms up behind me needlessly."

"Meanwhile, Ty edged up the hill away from the officers, crying."

Henson said he provided officers with phone numbers they needed to verify that Ty was his granddaughter, "but for quite a while nobody seemed too interested in verifying my 'story.'"

Police again questioned Ty, and Henson was eventually released.

Henson still isn't satisfied as he was released without an apology. He said on his blog:

"I hated for a five-year-old to be subjected to such an experience, I'd like her to view police as people she can trust instead of threats to her and her family, but it's possible I live in the wrong neighborhood for that."

Now that’s crazy, a granddad can’t even walk the streets with his own granddaughter.
