University of Virginia student injured during arrest 'could have been Obama' University official says incident in which student suffered a bloody head would could have happened to anyone, as state considers expanding its inquiry Joanna Walters in New York 19 March 2015
The student who sustained a bloody head wound as he was arrested by alcohol control officers at the University of Virginia on Wednesday morning “could easily have been any of us, including a young President Obama”, a university official told the Guardian.
Martese Johnson, 20, was seen pouring blood on to the sidewalk as three enforcement agents pinned him down to arrest him, prompting outrage on campus and all the way to the office of Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe, who asked for a state police investigation, which began on Wednesday.
The student’s mother and brother were flown in from the family’s hometown of Chicago on Wednesday to be with Johnson, who was given 10 stitches in his head in hospital after being arrested for obstructing justice and being drunk in public.
But the handsome African American student with a place on the UVA honor committee put Dr Maurice Apprey, the UVA dean of African American Affairs, in mind of a similar young man from Chicago who studied at Columbia and Harvard universities in the 80s: Barack Obama.

Got a lot of Kenyan Marxists in Virginia do they?
Just like Obama
What kind of damn b.s. Is this article?
Fake ID , Resisting Arrest and Screaming like a little Child , yep Obama
Except there’s no proof Obola ever attended classes.
Complete BS article but McAuliffe is the original “Punk”
Bomb throwers.
This guy is a real scumbag.
I saw the tape and he was cursing the cops and screaming racism as loud as he could. It worked too. Now everyone in authority in Virginia is jumping on the case.
Poor ol obama, beaten within an inch of his lie..
He plays the race card, just like BO.
No mention of what he might have been doing to deserve such a beat-down.
Underage drinking?
Resisting arrest?
Assaulted a police officer?
Voiced his opinion of the police officers?
“The student’s mother and brother were flown in from the family’s hometown of Chicago on Wednesday to be with Johnson”
At who’s expense? I have seen a picture of his injuries. My mother met me at the front door with a towel and told me to stop the bleeding before coming inside when I was more banged up than this.
He is really Obama’s son , from Chicago, Affirmative Action kid at UVA, screaming Im suing .
I wonder if B0stevedunhambarrysoebarkahsoetoro has ever been in a fight?
Fist fight? Slap fight? Snowball fight?
Too bad it wasn’t.
Could Have Been Barry
Thought I saw somebody,
She walked like you do.
She talked like you do,
I thought it was you.
But it was just some trannie ...
"A photo snapped during the arrest shows a bloodied Johnson being held down by a white police officer. He was charged on two counts: obstruction of justice without force, and public swearing or intoxication, Charlottesville General District Court records show."
The Charlottesville PD must take the law against Public Swearing very seriously.
Congrats. You got there first! LOL!
