I love how everyone is SURE of what happened there and is SURE that the professor is to blame for everything based strictly on what the cop said. It is ironic to say the least that in a situation where a white man and a black man have differing accounts of what happened, everyone is SURE there was no racism involved because.... the white man said so! The circularity is astounding.
Nevermind that by the cops' own account he overstepped his boundaries and trampled on some of the professors constitutional rights. I guess trespassing and luring the professor outside with the intent of arresting him are apparently secondary to the mere possibility that the professor might have falsely accused someone of racism. Oh, and nevermind that the police officer and the police union are not releasing the video from the dashboard cams of the 3 cars that were there. After all, why would we want to see that? How dare we question the officer's account of events!
