Photos By John HoffVarious individuals have been sending me helpful links to stories about Al Flowers. Rather than keeping this useful info to myself, I'm posting the links for those who wish to dig deeper into this "tempest in a flower pot."
First, check out this story on MinnPost.com, which aks whether Al Flowers (and his sister!) are just too quick to sue, or are they fighting racism? Click here for article.
Another MinnPost article, click here, tells the story of the first Flowers/Samuels lawsuit in detail, including its subtle nuances. Here is a news report about the verdict, click here. It's hard to find many news reports, because so many print media think people will pay money for articles in archives, and the whole article becomes unavailable. Ridiculous.
This recent Minneapolis Mirror article, click here, manages to distort and mangle what really happened. It's fun to compare this article with the two videos, and see how great is the gulf between the tale and the reality.
This lawsuit may not go as well for Flowers as the last one. There was clearly some extended, uncooperative physical contact with members of the Minneapolis Police Department, and it was caught on camera.
