  It seems like in this case they arrested most of the people involved on both sides, that first black guy that they put in cuffs they only did right after he clocked that lady in the jaw like 3ft in front of a police officer.
- Well yeah they were winning, usually you have to arrest the people who are winning first because it would be awkward to try to arrest someone while they're getting their ass beat.
  
  it would be awkward to try to arrest someone while they're getting their ass beat.
  Hoo boy, do I have some awkward bodycam footage for you...
- The cops were all black too.
  
  So is Clarence Thomas. What's your point?
  
  so they're well trained
  
  Black police showing out for the white cop
  NWA addressed this already.
- In the video I watched they arrested the guy who hit people, including a woman who wasn't in the brawl at the time, with a folding chair.
  
  I like how you specifically point out the one blow a black person in the fight made that was fucked up and completely ignore the fact that the white pieces of shit started the violence. Very telling.
The best part of the article is our hero Aaren:
Quote:
As authorities try to untangle the incident, a man who was seen swimming across the river to the aid of the riverboat worker was partly identified as “Aaren”.
“In the face of adversity, Aaren selflessly came to the rescue of a fellow colleague, showcasing courage beyond his years,” a statement from his publicist, Makina Lashea, read.
- Damn, Aaren's already got a publicist
  
  Aaren is prepared every time.
- Nah, that wasn't Aaron, it was Aquaman
  
  Aquamane.
  
  Aaren could clearly kick Aquaman's butt.
- Should of been fucking hit a few more times. Tired of these racist fucks, wanna act like an ignorant piece of shit? Go live in the 1800s.
  
  Should have*
- Fun fact: the folding chair was invented by an African American in the early 1900’s.
  
  Let's give Nathaniel Alexander some detail!

  Patent 997,108, filed March 10, 1911, and granted July 4 the same year
- Bro walked up with the unblockable overhead
- “Live Every Chair and Swing” will now be the lyrics.
  
  Swing low (or high) sweet chair, it hits, coming forth to stagger them down.
Police also appealed to the public for help in determining what had happened.
'It appears to the untrained eye that this is a simple case of some white people fucking around and finding out but we need some white witnesses to tell us that it is all the black suspects fault.'
Thoughts and chairs.
Fucking lol. Imagine fucking your life up because you hate the way dark skinned people look or some shit.
You know to defend the white guys that were involved in this unfortunate incident, would be fucking stupid.
