On Saturday 10/25 about 11pm, on the sidewalk in front of the Majestic's Rock n Bowl bar, I was having a cigarette with a friend. I bummed a smoke from a man that was walking by. He is an African American man with salt n pepper hair that appeared to be approximately 50 years old. I spoke with him briefly. As he was walking away 2 members of Majestic's security came running from inside the bar and began assaulting him. I thought that I was witnessing security's heavy-handed reaction to a pan-handler that was bothering me, one of their patrons. I was trying to pull this man away from the security and explain to them that he was not bothering me when I was struck in the face by security. He must have had a foreign object in his hand based on the injuries resulting from a single blow. WSU police were there before I could wipe the blood from my eye's. One would think that with the police there so quick that an arrest would be made. Wrong. They refused to do anything and after I pleaded with them for some time, they nearly arrested me! Their incident report is so incomplete; it makes a mockery of the whole notion of "law enforcement".
Did anyone witness this?
The man that I was coming to the aid of left his info with my friend but it is nearly illegible. Richard Jackson or Johnson 313-653-9743 or 653-9734 or 653-4734. He seemed sincere in his desire to give me his contact info and stuck around for quite awhile after I was assaulted.
Does anyone know how I could reach him?
