COPS SAY NO RACISM INVOLVED IN WRIGHT ARREST: Police say officers used 'professionalism' with actor, despite reports of N-word being tossed.
(July 21, 2008)
*Cops in Shreveport, La. say racism was not involved in the July 12th arrest of Jeffrey Wright and Josh Brolin following a bar fight.
A spokesman for the Shreveport PD tells TMZ.com that the chief has reviewed all in-car audio and video and found the officers used "professionalism" in the arrests.
The Web site had reported that witnesses heard the arresting officers use foul language toward Wright -- including the "N" word -- and there's cell phone video of at least a portion of the confrontation.
Other officers were reported to have heard the offensive tirade, according to TMZ, but Shreveport police said none have come forward. So far, the Department has not taken any action against the officers.
