    The description in the article sounds horrifying enough. Cops get called because a white guy is causing a disturbance, cops arrive, white guy (possibly the actual suspect?) points to the nearest black guy and they just go after him.

      I am not 100%, but I think the white dude who pointed him out was the alleged suspect. The bodycam shows the coos going into the Circle K and the employee describes the problem and points to the gut, and answers in the affirmative when asked if they want the guy trespassed.

      So, naturally, they told him to wait while they assaulted his victim.
