The Possum Dumping

The officers responsible, craig ward and jim galloway, voluntarily appeared at a press conference before black community leaders. They identified themselves and apologized. Ward and galloway claimed they had acted out of frustration, not racial hatred when they made their late night deposit of the possums at the restaurants door. The black community, already incensed over incidents of alleged discrimination by police, labelled the possum dumping as more evidence of cism and deliberate targeting of blacks by police.
