According to the witnesses, the young man wasn't drunk or disorderly. One of the witnesses yelled out to the officers, "DUDE, HIS HEAD IS BLEEDING!" These cops got overzealous. I remember small incidents like that happening to me on a couple of occasions. A friend of mine(who happened to be white) was trying to talk to a black kid. He accused the kid of being from Morristown, N.J. and of attacking him. The black kid(whom we soon learned was just out of basic training in the Marines) got very angry and he and two of his friends were going to jump my friend. Me and others did our best to seperate them. The police came and then I tried to tell them that everything was okay. The cop shoved me over to the black kid and his friends. I wasn't even with them, but the cop thought it was where I belonged. I moved over to my friend's side. We were told to leave the area. We all did and that was the end of it. I was detained because a store was robbed. I proved my innocence and they let me go. I was always on guard when it came to police.
