More details about the Triple XXX incident last weekend are beginning to emerge.

The Journal and Courier, local city paper, had an article today saying an investigation is underway.

According to the story, one of the girls in the group said she and her friends were asked to wait outside the restaurant that night even though the place was basically empty. When they were let in, they were sat in the back. Later, a waitress became hostile and told the customers, "We're not serving you. Get out of the restaurant."

A white doctorate student driving by Triple XXX at that moment saw the pregnant woman "thrown" into the window and decided to stop by and tell the officers his account. "They didn't ask any questions. They just got out of their cars, grabbed the first two black people they saw and started to arrest them," he said. He was ignored and then verbally confronted when he wouldn't relent. "Officers never interviewed anyone other than black participants and left without arresting anyone," the story goes.

No action has been taken against the officers yet; the investigation is pending results. The owner of Triple XXX has given no comment.

At this point, there still isn't nearly enough reliable evidence to conclude anything. First of all, what is the "back" of Triple XXX? You mean that area in the 30-seater restaurant that's about 5 feet from the door? Maybe employees had just cleaned the "front" area and didn't want to dirty it up just yet. Why did the waitress tell the group to leave? I have a hard time believing she just blew up at them for absolutely no reason. What's this about the cops grabbing "the first two black people they saw"? Maybe they did that because the guy were the ones involved in the situation. And while the cops should have interviewed other witnesses as well, I don't see anything entirely too wrong with speaking only with the black ones involved. No use dragging tons of other people in.

Last but not least, who, if any, in the black group were drunk or had been drinking? Anyone who has been to Triple XXX in the early morning hours can probably confirm that at least 70% of the customers are eating off their spins. I'm surprised the drunk question has been so carefully avoided so far (just like when Wade Steffey went missing last year and everyone wanted to keep him publically known as an innocent victim of circumstance and was afraid to talk bad about the dead even when his death turned out to be caused by his own drunken decision to wander into a dark electric boiler room) but there's a rumor floating around by one witness that the group was indeed drunk when the fight broke out.
