Five white police officers beat up one black man not apparently violating any law, racially motivated, no. Racial overtones. Yes. I stand by my choice of words.

Ok, well I like to pass judgement when I know all the facts. Not one side of the story as presented by a new article on the web.

I shoot from the hip, as I have already switched sides once on this thread.

wow...

I see one black face in the bunch of cops. It's a pretty white state, nothing unusual about that.

Dont' know if they picked him out because he's black, but they sure did him wrong if he's telling it how it really went down.

It's a very white state...I spent 8 years of my life up there. But to say there are racial overtones is uninformed and incorrect.

Sorry, I'm not the least bit sympathetic.

Just...wow.

Ok it was in a waist band holster and it was not visible the initial report was incorrect. On new evidence I am moderating my earlier view. The incident has racial overtones as the CHL holder is Black and the police appeared to be Caucasian.
