...when a station wagon driven by a Hasidic Jew ran a red light, collided with another car, then jumped the curb and struck two black children. Gavin Cato, 7, was killed, and his cousin Angela Cato, 7, was seriously injured. Crown Heights blacks became enraged that the driver, Yosef Lifsh, a member of the ultra-Orthodox Lubavitcher sect, was not arrested and charged with Cato's death.

...dusk fell on Tulsa's bustling Memorial Drive, Mike Hall, 14, was playing cop -- but the blue-and-white Gran Fury police car he was sitting in was no toy. The driver, patrolman Rick Coleman, had just hauled over a truck for driving without lights. As Coleman climbed out to question the trucker, his passenger couldn't resist temptation. He flicked on the car's red spotlight and played the beam up and down the side of a darkened warehouse...
