All-white jury clears officers in 4 of 5 charges
An all-white jury deliberated for more than 25 hours before finding three former Milwaukee police officers not guilty Friday night on four of five charges in the brutal beating of Frank Jude Jr., who is biracial.
Does the story need to be written like this?
The main focus is definitely racism.....yes, we know, all whites are racist and trying to keep the brothers down. I feel so ashamed to be white.
Did the same emphasis get put on the OJ Simpson trial? By some it was eventually, but this is the first story, racism by whites is in the title and the first paragraph....damn the man.

It seems like these guys got off clean...even though there were many people there and no one really knows who did what...the incident was horrible...placing blame is harder...
and yes, I see the no snitching shirts and "if you see the police, warn a brother" shirts every single day...I have commented on it, I have posted on it...it is another example of anti-social behavior
The thing is, the oldest and strongest formof "No snitching" is what the cops do with each other. Another thing too, is that every time a Milwaukee cop winds up in court(and it happens way too often), the jury is always white. Is it worth mentioning? Yes. Does it prove anything? No. I have worked in several 'cop bars', my mom was a cop, and I grew up around them. I never have a problem believing that a bunch of white cops beat the shit out of a bi-racial stripper at a drunken shindig.
