KPD incident
From what I'm hearing there's a lot more to this story than this article is letting on. My sources are third-hand but it's sounding like this is a case of abusive police behavior.
This is the incident as I understand it. These young men were standing near their car Friday evening when KPD rolled up. They were smart enough to demand a search warrant from the officers before they'd allow their car to be searched. The officers left and brought back a drug sniffing dog which KPD claims alerted and witnesses say did not. The boys again demanded a search warrant and an argument ensued. Racist language was used and conveniently the officers microphones were off and their cruisers were angled such that their video cameras didn't catch what happened. The officers apparently got their asses kicked.
It's worth noting that these boys have 4 year football scholarships and excel academically in high school.
Oh and no drugs were found. The car was impounded and is currently being searched for trace drug residues.
A prayer vigil is to be held today at 4pm at St. Joseph's House of Prayer.
Keep your eyes on this one folks.

You need to come up with facts, not hearsay about your belief that this was justified action on two teenagers to beat up three police officers. Also explian when it is appropriate to hit a law eforcement officer. You are in dangerous land, sir.
Are these two thugs, friends of Jim Gray, will the demo Chair find a way to harbor these fugitives like he did for Perry Reed.

You're right. It's hearsay and worse yet, third-hand hearsay. But I'm not the newspaper. I don't source my own stories. What I posted is the boy's side of the story that's going around town.
Plus, I have a close personal friend that just endured months of stalking and harassment at the hands of KPD so you'll excuse me if I'm skeptical of their story.
If they don't find even trace amounts of drugs in that car and there aren't any audio or video tapes of what happened then I side with the boys. We'll see how it all shakes out but yes, there are reasons to beat someone's ass.
