Virginia man arrested for brandishing assault weapon at black bikers

Anyone wonder how this would have ended if the cops had shown up to find a black man "brandishing" an assault rifle at a group of white men who were standing with their hands up?

A white Virginia man was charged with multiple misdemeanor counts of brandishing a firearm that he pointed at four black men on bikes Sunday who the suspect said were on "private property."
...
The Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office clarified Tuesday that Berry was charged because "the male parties were unarmed and not on HIS private property."
...
"Parked my bike over here to take a break real quick and we got a white guy out here pointing a gun at four black men," one of the bikers can be heard in the video telling the sheriff's office over the phone. He pans over to show the bikers and one vehicle driver holding their hands up.

No one was hurt after a Spotsylvania County sheriff's deputy arrived on the scene after one of the bikers called for assistance.

Yeah, that pretty much looks like the case. Or at least to scare the shit out of them. What a fucking asshole.
