Not that police don’t taser their fair share of middle-class caucasians, but it seems to me, knowing both Pittsburgh and the pre-supposition of the guilt of African-American men in the city, that the attack of two police officers against a Shawn Hicks, who they tasered three times, once before he woke up from sleep and another after he had shown them identification, that the incident involved racial prejudice.
Read it for yourselves; it’s hard enough to believe as it is. Tony Norman wrote about the incident in his Pittsburgh Post-Gazette column today. It’s entitled, “Tasered at his own home: the Shawn Hicks story.”
