So five cops just saw a black guy and decided to slam him into a truck and detain him. He wasn't doin' nuffin'. Right.
As written, the sentence actually says that the five officers were slammed into the truck. [That’s not what happened, but that’s what the wording says.]
Also, the article says: “Yearwood was then allegedly released without being placed under arrest.”
Worst (or laziest) use of the word “allegedly” ever. Does the journalist not know if the man was released or not? Can he not find out if the man was placed under arrest?
Weak writing and editing, Daily Caller.
