A NY heart surgeon was beat up by cops: Did race play a role?

“Moss said he started to follow, but the officers grabbed him. He said he introduced himself as a doctor, but officers yelled at him to back off and one pushed him in the chest, forced him to the ground and handcuffed him.

He said his shoulder separated, and he had to put it into its socket by himself. He was taken to the hospital, where he received X-rays and pain medicine.”
