The fellow receiving the beating was white. Not that it matters to me. He got a well deserved ass kicking.
No tears being shed here either, but the fact that he is white means that the media will quickly lose interest if they haven't already. No narrative to play up in this case, so we won't see 24-7 coverage like we would if he weren't white.
He'll also get enough of a settlement out of this that from taxpayer's money that with a careful financial plan, he might never have to work again. As for the deputies, they'll never work again either, at least not in law enforcement. Not their current employer nor anyone else could afford the risk of hiring them to wear a badge or a gun, let alone the cost of insuring them. Of course, like the man arrested, they will all have criminal records too by the time this is over, so maybe all that is moot.
