Richmond Police Admit Ignoring Hate Crime Report

Richmond police admit ignoring the racially-motivated beating of Brandon Manning, whose crime report sat unnoticed on the desk of a sergeant who was "absent for several days." Fortunately, though, police finally looked at the report (after getting calls from Manning's family asking about the investigation) and arrested "seven white suspects" this past Saturday. Steven Kinney, Andrew Word, Victor Faria and Richard Lange, who range in age from 18 to 20, were charged with assault, battery and hate crimes.
