This is good news indeed for Cadet King.
I hope he is fully vindicated in the court system too.
Good
Good news for a change!
Yes, FINALLY. It took West Point and HPD far too long to deal with this properly. Too bad the consequence of telling West Point to pack sand would be enlistment.
West Point should hand their collective heads in shame for having passed such a harsh and wrong judgement against the Cadet. I will never think of West Point the same again.
Whoever made the decision to expel him from the Academy needs to be disciplined accordingly.
Maybe Mr. Allen Turner, the reporter, could have done something novel and done some research on the meaning of “suspended separation”.

I believe that the Cadet in question has been under suspended separation since the incident and not was under suspended separation before the incident. The lame brain reporter implies that the Cadet was under disciplinary action even before the event. I do not believe this was the case at all.
It appears that there should not have been any negative action taken by West Point. That they took such actions based upon a situation caused by LaBelle’s employees means that his damages against her will be amplified.
If you watch the video you can see that she had no regard for the young mans condition. She could have cared less about him. She would be well advised to drop her action against him and make him an offer he can’t refuse.
The interesting point is that without a doubt Patti LaBell has made the majority of her money off people that are white because the majority are white. She apparently has disdain for the hand that feeds her...
This was what really struck me when I first saw the video. These cops were not impartial in this situation.
And the rush to judgment on the part of the media and West Point were very reminiscent of the Duke University incident.
