This article from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch details the charges.

At the end of the article, a union goon says he was the victim in the Gladney beating:

Meanwhile, the finger-pointing between the factions continued on Friday.

Among the injured was Kenneth Gladney, 38, of St. Louis. He said he was with the Tea Party, handing out yellow flags with "Don't tread on me" printed on them, when he was assaulted. He said he sought hospital treatment for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face.

"I was attacked for something I believe in," he said.

But Elston McCowan, an SEIU staffer, said Gladney was actually an instigator. McCowan accused Gladney of attacking him as he walked to his car. McCowan said he suffered a dislocated shoulder.

"Out of nowhere, the guy just assaults me," said McCowan, 47, of St. Louis.

Don’t suppose we’ll ever see medical records for this supposed dislocated shoulder, but maybe someone can have a little visit with Mr. McGowan and see how his punching arm is doing.

“McCowan said he suffered a dislocated shoulder.”

Saw this on the videotape. The police show up, and this guy starts holding his shoulder. It’s on the tape, if any attorneys are interested.
