Answer 2

Two were black and one was white

Answer 3

Two were, one was white, the judge that aquitted them was black and yet this has turned so racial it's hilarious to me.

Answer 4

two cops were black, NY cops have the right to fire their weapons if they feel the purp has a weapon, in this case someone yelled out " where's my gun " and that prompted a response from the cops, but to my knowledge, it was not clairified if that remark came from anyone in the grooms party or not, which would then make me wonder about instant profiling...but, .this isnt a racial thing, its an instant judgement thing, and it was a bad judgement call on their part.
