This brother spoke an inconvenient truth!! The judge ended up recusing himself from the case and a White judge accepted the rediculous plea. I think the brother just blew his top at that ridiculous plea offer...but had he acted a bit more diplomatic in his presentation of that inconvenient and politically incorrect TRUTH, he could have stayed on the case, rejected the plea, and made his point. Nevertheless, I applaud this Brother, BIG TIME!!
Says three months of probation for fighting with a cop is 'ridiculous'
PITTSBURGH — A black judge from western Pennsylvania rejected a plea agreement for a man accused of fighting with police during a traffic stop, saying it was "a ridiculous plea that only goes to white boys."
The plea agreement was for a sentence of three months probation. Allegheny County Judge Joseph Williams said on Tuesday that a black defendant in that situation would not have been treated as leniently.
In court, Williams told Assistant District Attorney Brian Catanzarite that he "for some reason comes up with I think ridiculous pleas whenever it's a young white guy," according to The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "I'm just telling you what my observation is. If this had been a black kid who did the same thing, we wouldn't be talking about three months' probation."
