Article Excerpt:

What is white collective power? From [HERE] A white Bayfield County Attorney has decided that no charges will be filed against a white Superior Police Officer accused of using excessive force during a violent arrest of an unarmed Black woman in January.

The investigation has been nearly nine months long.

Bayfield County District Attorney Fred Bourg issued his findings Monday of an investigation into the actions of Officer George Gothner, saying no criminal charges should be pursued.

Gothner was accused of using excessive force during the controversial arrest of 28-year-old Natasha Lancour in the parking lot of Keyport Lounge on January 5. The arrest was caught on dash-cam video.

The video partially showed a violent altercation between Lancour and Gothner, with the officer punching her twice in the face and forcefully slapping her until he moves her outside of the cameras view. However, the beating continued. On the video the bystanders are seen reacting to the white officer's conduct.
