BLACK LIES MATTER: Police: CDTA Bus Footage Shows No Hate Crime Occurred. [archive]
An emotional rally, tweets from presidential candidates and NFL players, all spurred by an alleged hate crime –one that police now say didn’t happen.
Police released bus footage from the morning of January 30. While the video is only part of the extensive amount of footage, police say at no point did a white male throw a punch or make a racial slur, as the women claimed.
Police say the three purported victims of the attack were actually the ones attacking, and that their story was false. Aria Agudio, Alexis Briggs and Asha Burwell were all charged with third-degree assault, while Agudio and Burwell face additional charges of falsely reporting an incident, as evidenced by 911 calls.
