S.C. Black Caucus to view Trooper Videos: Police Kicking, Beating Black Motorists

April 19, 2008/ Tron Nick

COLUMBIA --The chairman of the Legislative Black Caucus says black lawmakers will begin sampling Highway Patrol traffic stop videos when the current investigation ends.
Columbia Rep. Leon Howard told The Greenville News on Friday that lawmakers will be looking for the same types of misconduct previously caught by troopers' car cameras.

Howard says the approach will keep everyone honest and protect citizens and law enforcement.

Caucus members took several videos to Gov. Mark Sanford several weeks ago, including one that showed a white trooper using a racial slur.

Sanford then announced he would not nominate Public Safety Department director Jim Schweitzer for a second term and accepted the resignation and retirement of the Highway Patrol's commander, Col. Russell Roark. [MORE]
