Omaha police haven't just targeted black
employees of the Omaha Public Power District for their DNA. In their
quest to catch a serial rapist, investigators have reached into the
mouths and swabbed the cheeks of several black men across north Omaha.
Their accounts have police looking for a black man age 25 to 40,
5-foot-3 to 5-foot-9, 175 to 250 pounds. "This is a witch hunt, and
it's ridiculous," said Damion Davis, 30, a painter who lives near 57th
and Pratt Streets. "You're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Either I could do it and feel violated. Or I could refuse and have
doubts running around my house." [more]
