to be black in the south !! The others deputies pled guilty to J-walking & were given $10 fines !! The deputies appealed the fine to the Florida Supreme Court & after due deliberation the high court found the fines to be excessive & forced the family of the violent black man to pay the fines ? plus the high Court ruled the families had to pay for the laundry bill $400 as the deputies soiled their uniforms while apprehending the violent black man & the high Court further found that one of the deputies had accrued a headache due to all the excessive physical activity to which the out of shape deputies were unaccustomed & the deputy was taken, by ambulance to a local hospital to which two of the other deputies were assigned as his bodyguards in case they encountered any more violent black people during transport to the hospital !! The high court further found that the family of the violent black man that was beaten unconscious must pay the $10,000 emergency room bill which included coffee & donuts for the officers to help settle them down to avoid any further mental anguish !! The black family was given ten days to pay the accrued damages or face six months in County jail !! (source AHW news)
