Ramsland Law often gets calls about race discrimination at Purdue, and has brought several of these cases against Purdue University over the years.
This latest round of completely unwarranted police violence by the Purdue University Police Dept is absolutely despicable.
Also despicable is the fact that when this officer was put on administrative leave, it wasn't because he arm-bar choked this young man. It wasn't because he threatened to tase the girlfriend who was looking on, filming, begging Jon Selke to stop. It was because the officer received "death threats."
Further despicable is the fact that Mitch Daniels seems to need more convincing than what is furnished by this video, saying that "should there be a finding of misconduct by the officer..." This from the man who views an African American scholar as "one of the rarest creatures in America," and the "rarest phenomenon." Then he laments the fact that he is misunderstood.
Purdue has not done nearly enough to repent of its segregationist past, and its continued discriminatory attitudes start at the top with Mitch Daniels and percolate down to protect those who engage in discrimination and harassment of black students and employees.
It is evil, and it needs to stop. It won't stop without a MAJOR overhaul.
