William C. Lhotka, of the Post-Dispatch, is reporting that Edmon Burns, the man whose beating by police officers was caught on tape by local television cameras, confessed to violating his probation by using illegal drugs.
From the article: In a hearing this morning in St. Louis County Circuit Court, Edmon Burns, 33, of north St. Louis County, admitted he violated conditions of probation by using drugs.
Judge John Ross allowed Burns to remain free on bond and ordered the defendant to appear in his court for sentencing April 13. The three-year sentence for the drug violation was the result of an agreement between Burns' attorney, Andrew Hale, and prosecutor John Quarenghi.

Mr. or Ms. Anonymous, I won't even try to explain to you the ridiculousness of your statement, or its racist overtones. It is obvious that you are an idiot and a coward.
The next time you feel like letting out a rebel yell with hopes of starting a lynch party, might I suggest you stand near the intersection of Natural Bridge and Kingshighway and scream that same phrase to the top of your lungs.
Then you might get to experience for yourself a taste of what Mr. Burns got.
