The limousine driver, Zuri Edwards, 37—LaBelle's son-- made a complaint against King but declined to press charges, according to Jody Silva, a spokeswoman for the Houston police department.
The police incident report, based on Edwards' complaint, says that King was belligerent and was harassing the occupants of the limo. When he was asked to step away, he struck Edwards, and a witness then pushed King, the incident report says.
West Point has taken disciplinary action against King after they were notified of the incident by Houston cops, Raley says
My computer has problems with YouTube. Does the viedo show King striking the limo driver? If it doesn't, we know why charges were not carried forward.
I also don't understand why West Point is taking action against King when charges were not filed!

viedo = video. Not my fault, I was beaten up by Patti LaBelle’s bodyguards while posting. Apparently I breathed in her direction or something.

I also don't understand why West Point is taking action against King when charges were not filed! Me neither! If he was convicted of public intoxication or assault, that would be grounds for dismissal. But it's pretty clear that the cadet got jumped virtually from behind while he was engaged in a phone call. Then he was driven into a cement stanchion and knocked unconcious.
What I would like to know is who at West Point did the "investigating"? Did they see this video tape? Lastly, what criteria are they using for dismissal these days?
Seems grossly unjust to take a cadet who is slated to graduate this year with an officer's commission over an event that was beyond his control.

And you're correct.

King does stiff arm the someone to the chest before he's ganged up on.
West Point didn't take action lightly, they may have seen the video themselves.
As for the lawsuit, I'm sure he sees a "payday" here.
