No racism charge from NOPD beating Victim

New Orleans police beating victim Robert Davis not only holds no animosity toward the police in general, but his lawyer has also said that his client does not believe the assault was racially motivated. He's right--the rot of that system doesn't discriminate--it fails every citizen of New Orleans.
A retired teacher injured during a videotaped beating by New Orleans police says he feels no anger toward the department.

"I hold no animosity against anyone. I want to thank the new police chief for his quick action. I really do," 64-year-old Robert Davis said Tuesday...
Joseph Bruno, the attorney for Davis, said his client does not believe the assault was racially motivated.

"I know there is a big temptation to go there, but my client firmly believes that is not what is involved here," Bruno said in an interview.
Instead, Bruno said, Davis believes he was assaulted by "a couple of rotten apples that need to be dealt with."

In a day where the charge of racism is used as casually as the word hello, it's refreshing to see it not applied here. The reality is, it wasn't racism. Abuse by the corrupt is indeed colorblind. Mr. Davis, probably because he's a decent guy, can't imagine systemic indecency.
