    Killed by cops, the cops should not be exonerated as they often are in the telling of this story as far as I can tell. The cops were called on him for being visibly a minority and the cops came over and beat him for refusing to drop the curtain rod he was using as a white cane

      Yeah this is an age old tactic they use for torture and murder. Dropping someone of somewhere far enough from home or help particularly in conditions they know the victim will die of exposure. Been going on for over a hundred years.
