Thanks for posting the update.
Useful to see the footage, but holy mother of god, that woman's 911 call has me grinding my teeth. That audio should be taught at every class about racism nationwide, high school and college.
To leave on a positive note, I wish the two young men a wonderful college education and a rich, happy life.
