The violence was quieted in part by the states attorneys announcement that six Police Officers were charged. Since then, three acquittals and a the prosecutor to drop the remaining Police Trials. Some legal analysts agree. At some point in time you would have to think that the evidence is not going to support any further prosecutions of these Police Officers.

I heard there was a party over there. Mainly africanamerican students. Reporter it didnt take long for students to hear what happened at the courtyard apartments in may. The cell phone video shows Campus Police using pepper spray on students as they tried to break up a Graduation Party but Police Body Cam video that will soon be released paints a clearer picture of what happened.

Reporter mitchell says when officers arrived at the party, they escalated the situation and used pepper spray twice to disperse the crowd. Clearly we need to resist this. Reporter the officer who sprayed the crowd has been placed on administrative leave without pay. Some students say their perception of officers has changed. I think theres a valid claim for excessive force. Definitely a subconscious bias to students of color. Reporter many students agree that the majority of campus officers are good at their job. Its always been good. Always been kind. Reporter nevertheless, chief mitchell says hell be making changes so what happened in may doesnt happen again. My students feel that and perception is reality so i agree that this is a problem for us in Law Enforcement with regard to trust between our community and reporter now, the chief says the original 911 call made that night reported there was a fight inside the apartment where that party was happening.

He wanted 44 million a year fully guaranteed now. They werent willing to do that. Next year stakes are higher. Will they do 24 million . Will they sign him to a longterm deal or will they move on . Hell come out of this with 20 million which has to be more than he thought he would earn in his career. The team, cousins is going to be great and you have to pay him a gigantic contract or let him go to the market and let them set the value and hell sign with someone else and you dont have a replacement who ends up being capable and cousins goes on to be a star with another team. Theres more risk for the team than player at this point because the team never put enough money on the table that created the kind of risk that would make the player take the thats mike florio. I reached out to him by phone after that report today had everyone buzzing. You heard him. He says more risk for the team, which is different than i was thinking.
