OMG! Several unidentified people were taken into custody on Saturday night (August 5) after a massive brawl broke out at Montgomery Riverfront Park. Things began after several white people were seen attacking a Black man over a boat dock space.

According to a Montgomery Police Department report, officers responded to a disturbance at the 200 block of Coosa Street around 7 P.M. MPD officials said there was a large group of people fighting, leading to several of them being detained.
A number of videos from the incident have since gone viral, showing the beginning of the incident, during, and the aftermath. It is reported that things all began over a pontoon boat that had been blocking a dock space that reserved for a riverboat; that specific spot was reserved for the Harriott II Riverboat.
In the viral videos, viewers see one white man confronting a single Black man, who happened to be a worker at the dock. As an argument ensues, onlookers next see another white man rush over and hit the Black dock worker, who backs up and throws his hat into the air, signaling he was ready to fight.
As arms get to swinging, several white men rush over and join in on the attack, essentially jumping the lone Black man. As onlookers scream and yell in shock, in one video someone can be heard repeatedly shouting to other people nearby, “Y’all help that brother!”

Eventually, others nearby the brawl tried to join in and defend the Black man, including one Black man who dove into the water from a riverboat to help out. But, by the time he swam over and climbed up the dock, the brawl had seemingly dissipated.
When local law enforcement officials finally arrived to the scene, several people were taken into custody; however, authorities have not yet released any names of the suspects taken in. Charges against anyone involved in the massive brawl are currently still pending.

OMG. what has this world come to? When a group of white people think they have the right to brutally attack a black man. No, I don’t condone violence, but enough is enough and I’m sure they’ll think twice in the future about putting their hands on someone else.
Groups of black people jump a single white person ALL THE TIME…
Where? When? You know that would be national news for the lynch squad stop lying. You posted that here on video evidence and proof – where’s your proof? Where? Post the links
stfu…ya’ll are know for this kinda foolishness. Think you’re all billy bad-ass until you realize, you no longer out-number who you’re trying to jump. One thing is for sure though, we are not our ancestors, and we WILL fuck you up.
Liar, white people been bullying blacks and minorities for centuries; however, those days are gone! Black not putting up with the BS anymore.
How incredibly irresponsible for this author to use a divisive head line. Is this click bait? I see no where in this article is was race related. Stoking a fire where there’s smoke tells me a lot about the author.
Really.If he had been a white employee he would have been respected. I speak from experience living while black. When the truth is exposed then it’s called race baiting.
How is this about white and black? I see human beings acting out of character. Nothing the judge won’t be able to handle.
yeah, but if it had been a white man doing his job would the outcome be a whole lot different?
Let us just face facts people. This is WHO U ARE! I live a mile from Alabama and see more blatant racism or rather Bigotry in your state than anywhere else besides Louisiana and Mississippi. This is the land of fake ass pretenders acting like racism doesn’t exist yet it does, clearly. Same thing with government “handouts” u elect republicans for Gods sake to pretend that they are going to work for and protect and save the south from those damn northerners yet those very same states TAKE THE MOST AID from the feds. Don’t even get me started with Jackson MS and the water. What these corrupt “leaders” don’t want is oversight to see how they are taking advantage of these low information under educated deplorables. The damage to this country and the fabric that keeps it together is evidenced by this riot. ADMIT you are who you are and work together to find a solution. An alcoholic has to admit they have a drinking problem BEFORE they can accept help. And VOTE. If what trump and his followers are doing to destroy our laws doesn’t scare the living bejesus out of you nothing will.
This scene is what is the end result of black people who have had enough of racism rearing it’s ugly head.
These white people are doing what they have always done, gang up on a black person expecting no consequences. Fortunately that didn’t happen in Montgomery Alabama’s dock.
