Moshe Pierce · Answer 2

Phillip Hoose includes the police report writing about Claudette Colvin because it proves the story to be true.

Explanation:

Claudette Colvin refused to vacate a white segregated bus seat claiming that it is her constitutional right to do so and was jailed for it. Rosa Parks became famous for doing something similar but later. Claudette's case never garnered as much attention while her poignant statement of protest remained in the light.

so when writing about such a case in retrospect, the police report allows for legitimization of the affair as well as show a perspective on what actually transpired as it is not widely covered.
