"As if a thousand-plus people coloured people drowning weren't enough bad publicity, if you haven't heard the latest news out of New Orleans, take a look at this article (and the linked video clips). It seems that two state police officers and two federal officers took it upon themselves to beat the ever-lovin' shit out of an African American man who may have done nothing more than booze it up a bit too much in the reconstituted downtown New Orleans.

The video is hard to watch, but what is even more disturbing is how the officers involved in this brutal attack plead not guilty and are already citing the stress of Hurricane Katrina as part of their violent, senseless act of feral brutality. Here's the play by play if you're too lazy to watch the thirty-second ad before the video."
