There are new complaints that the San Francisco Police Department is mishandling the New Year's Eve attack on a Yale University singing group. Several of the young men went to the hospital with serious injuries. The I-Team first broke this story Monday.

If justice is not served here, some cops need to be fired and indicted for civil rights violations, if possible!
FBI
And th SFPD doesn't have them up on attempted murder charges/hate crime? AMAZING!
FBI will only get involved when there is an outcry from some minority group. The consensus on the street is that this is only about a bunch of rich white boys who will have to pay for their own attorneys. Just like the Duke rape persecution case.
There is a certain irony in that the group is from liberal Yale and was assaulted by apparently ultra liberals in the liberal heaven of San Francisco. If it had been a singing group from some Christian college assaulted in New Haven for singing the national anthem, I believe there would not have been any fuss.
Zoiks!
I thought the story was much ado...but after seeing those pictures.
I wonder which is the greater pain--that to the body and the busted jaw...or that to the ego for getting an *ss-kicking in San Francisco.
ping. FYI
This seems to have been a turf battle among the rich and privileged. One group of rich and privileged beating up another group of rich and priviliged because they invaded their turf.
Odd. Maybe it says something about the dangers of rap music escaping the ghetto and infecting the rich and privileged.
I think you hit the silver nail on the head--with a diamond studded hammer.
Yes, but they've already hired power house attorneys.
And they will turn the local government upside down until they get what they want.
I don't think it is going to take long for them to cave.
First heard about this on the Big Story with John Gibson. Seems the attackers were offended by the choir singing the Star Bangled Banner, and that the attackers are the kids of SF`s liberal elite. Also looks like the parents of the attackers are preventing the police from investigating this attack. What a disgusting city SF is.
Another San Franfascist hate crime.
Another San Franfascist hate crime.
There is something missing from this story.
Public media attention on the poor Yale Choirboys...badly beaten, but what is going on here?
Are we to believe that in SanFrancisco, the well-off white boys beat the middle eastern choirboys for no reason?
And we're to believe that the SanFran cops did absolutely NOTHING? Doesn't sound very San Fran-like to me...wonder what is missing here.
I don't know, the more I hear about it , it sounds like a "townies vs. Ivy League preppies" thing, except that the townies weren't white trash, but other little rich boys.
What you're missing is the obvious disconnect between the way that the rich townies are getting treated and the way the affluent white boys who were Duke players got treated.
Somebody's mommy and daddy seem to have local pull...
That's OK, there's enough light and heat being applied to this for it to just "go away". I'm looking with great interest at this case...
"Somebody's mommy and daddy seem to have local pull..."
You may be right on this. I'll look forward to any and all new information on this one.
I meant to say there's too much light and heat being applied to this for it to just "go away".
