------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Virginia Gov. Terry Mc Auliffe is calling for a probe after a police
arrest left a black student bloodied in the face. Charlottesville police
say Martese Johnson has been charged with obstruction of justice without
force and public swearing or intoxication. But the group Concerned Black
Students said: "The brutish force used resulted in his head and bodily
injuries. His treatment was unprovoked as he did not resist questioning
or arrest."
