A man testifying in the brutality trial of two Palo Alto police officers told a Santa Clara County jury Tuesday that he felt trouble coming when one officer drove past the car he was sitting in and looked directly into his eyes. "I've been black for a long time," said Albert Hopkins, 61, adding that as an African American man he was frequently targeted by police for trivial reasons. "He looks at me, and I look at him, and something in my mind says it's going to be a long night. I'm going to see him again. Something is going to happen." Hopkins is the key prosecution witness in the trial that began last week in a San Jose courtroom. Palo Alto officers Craig Lee, 42, and Michael Kan, 27, are charged with felony police brutality and misdemeanor assault for allegedly beating Hopkins with batons and pepper-spraying him July 13, 2003. If convicted, they face up to three years in jail. The defendants, whose lawyers say they used force to restrain Hopkins because he was uncooperative and threatening, plan to take the stand in their own defense, and are expected to testify in one to two weeks.
