Five white policemen beat up one black man who apparently has broken no laws. Racially motivated. No. Racial overtones. Yes. I stand by my choice of words.

Re: Minn. Police Beat Man For Gun, Despite Permit
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.Bullwhip wrote:I see one black face in the bunch of cops. It's a pretty white state, nothing unusual about that.pbwalker wrote:philip964 wrote:The incident has racial overtones as the CHL holder is Black and the police appeared to be Caucasian.
wow...
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.

Re: Minn. Police Beat Man For Gun, Despite Permit
So you are saying he deserved to get beat? You sure are making a lot of assumptions here...philip964 wrote:"leaving a downtown nightclub" Was it also at 2 am? Was he drunk or had been drinking? Concealed means concealed. "noticed a gun in his waist band" Not in a holster? Oh. We all do that too, the not in a holster waist band thing. I'm sure he passed the attitude test too.
Sorry, I'm not the least bit sympathetic.
