I've just emailed the FBI field office for NC
charlotte.public@ic.fbi.gov
and asked them to investigate this as a hate crime and police cover-up. The black cook was physically knocked down and kicked, by six assailants; racial slurs were hurled. Only two men have been charged and only with simple assault (which means, they shouted at the cook, but did not touch him).
This is a clear an example of the police trying to cover-up a physical assault which has racial overtones.
If this victim had been a muslim and had been kicked and called a "dirty muzzie", the FBI would be out there
at once.
I doubt the FBI will do anything at all about this; but if enough people raise this as an issue with them, maybe they'll think they have to do some routine kind of inquiry
in order to avoid criticism.
I also think the FBI site's online tip for reporting crimes of all types (including hate crimes) ought to be notified; and by as many people as possible.
Make this an issue they cannot ignore and pretend didn't happen.
And if (or WHEN) the FBI does no thing, complain to every congressman in site.
(It's real easy--just some clicks on a keyboard.)
Thank you, they should investigate it as corrupt too.
The Feds can come in and charge the others with Hate crimes or at least the Ringleader of the reported attack.
Good thinking.
This is where the Media comes in my opinion. If this had been 3 black basketball players, the overwhelming media outcry would've had the FEDS taking over the DUKE LAX case within hours of the DNA results.
