They Tried To Murder A Black Teen And No One Is Charged!

Where's Fox and the far right? This isn't Cincinnati. This is Pulaski, Wisconsin and a Black teen was roughed up by white punks.

What FBI Director Kash Patel does is none of my business. The incompetent official will not do his job as the FBI director.

There was an incident in Pulaski, Wisconsin. This incident is swept under the radar because it doesn't fit the narrative of Fox or Breitbart. If it was a white couple from Cincinnati caughting a hot plate, President Donald J. Trump will call the fucking National Guard. 

A fight where a teenager was attacked by several others at a barn in the Town of Pulaski was not racially motivated, according to the Iowa County Sheriff's Office.

Yet, the teens were calling him that word with the hard R.

Instead, Sheriff Michael Peterson said the boy was confronted based on his previous behavior of attempting to steal a firearm, assaulting a female and making threats.

Peterson is an elected Republican sheriff for Iowa County. 

A video of the fight from Aug. 17 showed a group of boys attacking a 14-year-old African American from Platteville. The victim did not suffer any serious injuries from the altercation, but a spokesperson for his family told 27 News he was emotionally scarred from the incident.

A racial slur can be heard in the video, though it's not clear who said it. 

In 27 News' reporting of the fight, we edited out the racial slurs and blurred the faces of everyone since they were minors and no one had been arrested. 

After learning of the incident and receiving a copy of the video, WKOW forwarded the information to the Iowa County Sheriff's Office on Aug. 22 and inquired about the incident.

At that time, Sheriff Michael Peterson said it was an ongoing investigation and they could not comment just yet.

On August 25, Sheriff Peterson gave an update to 27 News, saying his office had responded to the barn the night of the fight, but it was for a reported structure fire. At that time, law enforcement found evidence of a large underage drinking party at the property. The sheriff's office said most of the minors had left before law enforcement's arrival. 

Sheriff Peterson also acknowledged they received video of the incident from the media and were reviewing it as part of the investigation.

Lynne Parrott, the city of Platteville's Alderperson at large, spoke with 27 News about the video of the fight after the victim's mother sent it to her.

Parrott said the 14-year-old told his family that he was a target because the group mistook him for someone else. Parrott also expressed concerns about the use of racial slurs in the video.

The Iowa County Sheriff's Office released its findings on September 2. Sheriff Mike Peterson says the victim's story to police and his family directly corroborates the investigative findings that the incident was not racially motivated.

Sheriff Peterson says the victim spoke with police the night he was attacked and told them someone attempted to "jump" him, causing him to run from the area.

"According to the victim, the aggressors were targeting his friend, who was already at the party due to a prior 'beef.' The victim stated that he did not know the individuals involved and would not provide the name of his friend. He explained that his friends had driven him to the party but left before the incident. The victim confirmed he was not struck, no property was taken and he did not sustain injuries," a news release stated. 

Sheriff Peterson said further investigation found the victim was the one being targeted for his past behavior, not someone else. 

Peterson said the sheriff's office also responded to an underage drinking party south of Highland on July 27. Witnesses said the 14-year-old victim was part of a reported disturbance. When law enforcement arrived, the crowd left and did not talk with law enforcement. 

The sheriff says the same 14-year-old was involved in another disturbance at an underage drinking party on Aug. 9, also south of Highland. At that party, the sheriff said the disturbance included an unreported battery to a female.

An African American male, who provided a written statement after WKOW's original story aired, said he witnessed the incident on August 17 and tried to break up the fight. He also said that he did not personally hear non-African Americans using racial slurs. He told law enforcement the confrontation happened because of the victim's past behavior.

After the department received the video, Peterson said several attempts have been made to reinterview the 14-year-old; however, his family has prevented those interviews from taking place. 

Peterson said most suspects have been identified.

Regardless of the motivation behind the attack, Peterson said it doesn't excuse the actions shown in the video.

"Physical violence of this nature is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in our community," the sheriff said in a statement. "This video is disturbing, and no one should ever have to go through what the victim experienced."

Peterson added, "From being pushed into a piece of farm harvesting equipment to enduring physical violence, such acts are not acceptable in our society."

No arrests in the case have been announced. Sheriff Peterson did tell 27 News arrests and charges could be forthcoming for any of the people involved in any of the reported incidents, but they still need to speak with the victim of the August 17 altercation again. They have reached out to his family and their attorney, but have not heard back yet. In the meantime, their investigation continues.  

Iowa County District Attorney Zachary Leigh said his office has not received a referral for criminal charges in relation to this matter. If he does, he said he would review the evidence before making a formal decision about whether criminal charges would be filed.  

The Iowa County Sheriff's Office is encouraging anyone with information to submit tips through the sheriff's office mobile app.
