I've looked and been unable to find any news story that says whether the six cops who were involved in moving Mr. Grey were Black, White, Hispanic (or, I suppose, other). It's my understanding that five of the six have given statements to the investigators and one, presumably for Fifth Amendment reasons, hasn't.
The race of the cops is obviously relevant but i haven't seen anything that says what race(s) they are.
The wisdom and knowledge of all Freepers will be gratefully accepted.

In a city that’s promarily black...I m going to guess,...that the majority of the police force may be “black” as well. we know moth the mayor and the chief of police are
Ive seen nor heard nothing on the copse racial “identity as yet
if theyd been WHITE....Om pretty certain that we would have heard that by now...
My dad worked in a maximum security prison. Minority staff were a nightmare to minority inmates. My dad also said that carried over into cops too.
If the drive-bys haven’t reported the race of the cops, that’s because it doesn’t fit the RATagandist agenda.
(IOW probably black)
I agree, if they were white, the media would be camped out at there homes....
Mr.Grey
Mr.White
Mr.Black
Mr. Brown
oh man!
What difference does it make?? Had the victim been a white guy would anyone care? White guys don’t count, and they never get front page coverage, unless they are a Tea Party member, who didn’t pay a traffic parking ticket, and is currently running for President. White people do not mourn a white victim by destroying property and looting stores.
Honestly, isn’t all of humanity a race? When they asked for race on the jury duty form I filed out, were they using the word in correct context. Is humanity a race with subraces?
Do Black lives really matter? How many of the parents of Blacks murdered by Blacks received a call of Obama or send his personal representative to the funeral?
93% of Blacks are killed by Blacks, but because the murderers are Black, nobody care, including the president and the media.
Some (the bike cops?) appear white and the others I don’t know. I suspect that one (or both if more than one) of the “transporting” officers is black. I’m guessing that because the wife of one of the six has (in THINLY disguised form) gone public and said that “all six officers” didn’t hurt the arrested perp and she implied the “arresting” officers are guilty. So I’m assuming her husband was a “transporter”. The autopsy results seem to support that the perp was injured in the Prisoner Transport vehicle.
But I agree with the earlier posters...it doesn’t likely matter what race(s) the officers are.
The same way that black lives don’t matter when they are being killed by other blacks..the same way that black lives don’t matter when they are being killed at Planned Parenthood..I dont see these protestors protesting when black on black crime happens, or when a black baby is murdered in the womb..as long as the perps are black then its justifiable
Looked like a bunch of racist thugs to me....
An early report state 2 of the 6 cops were white.
It’s highly unlikely that 4 minority cops are going to stand by while 2 white cops play bean bag w the suspect.
In today’s racial climate, I can guarn-damn-tee they are not white. If they were, their names, addresses, phone numbers, families’ names and their dog’s names would have been broadcast, published and leaked to every household.
Half the force is black, so...
No it isn't because this isn't about race....this is about the haves and the have nots that want what they cannot get.
Did you hear the people on the street. They can't speak right, many do drugs, they're uneducated and fail to apply themselves. And they're accustomed to ‘fast bucks’ by breaking the law to “make money” or steal to get what they want and think that is OK to do...it's not.. ...that IS their work experience they bring to the table. Why would any one hire them? So how is all that marketable in the workforce...it's not. And in today's workforce they ARE going to bat zero. And who is going to put industry in their neighborhoods when just this week they burned over 40 businesses and over 100 cars. Why would industry even want to come into their community?
It was appalling to see all ‘the adults working’ to clean up after their kids who trashed their community....the few out there didn't begin to touch the multitudes of them in the street the day before...and there was no school...why weren't they in the street with broom in hand....in mass? Moreso why didn't the parents get their lazy butts out there to do the "work" instead of yet again cleaning up after them as they do all the time...?? So it doesn't matter what race the cops were, just like it's not going to matter what the decision is when they finally give it regarding this man who died. They "want" what they will not do the hard work to get....and that's not going to change until the culture changes the internal system of how it works WITHIN......and a willingness to see themselves where the problems really are.
