The man claims his attackers threatened to break his arms as one shouted, “Get a noose” (via toofab)
"The attackers told the growing group 'we're going to break his arms' ," Booker wrote, claiming members of the party shouted"get a noose."
A number of videos shot by Booker's friends show the group being followed by a group of white shirtless men, carrying beer cans, singling out Booker and shouting racist abuse at him. One of the men, who appears to be inebriated, continuously calls him a"nappy headed bitch ... with your five white friends," while repeatedly branding the group of friends"liberal f--ks".
"I'm gravely concerned that if any other people of color who were to cross their path they could be killed," Booker wrote."Bloomington we've had three public incidents involving overtly racists individuals who were then backed by the police within a month," he added.
Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton and City Clerk Nicole Bolden issued a lengthy statement about the incident Monday on Facebook.
