'W' ACTORS ARREST REPORT: TASERS PEPPER SPRAY AND THE N WORD

TMZ, HuffPost

Saturday in Shreveport, LA actors from Oliver Stone's Bush biopic
"W" were
arrested around 2 am in what has been billed a bar brawl, and Wednesday
night new details about repeated tasering, pepper spray and use of racial slurs
emerged. If the reports of cell phone video existing are true, the story won't
end here.

The altercation involved Josh Brolin (who plays President Bush), Jeffrey
Wright (Colin Powell) and five others.

Late Wednesday TMZ reported the following:

Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright, who were arrested this past
weekend at a Shreveport, La. bar, were pepper sprayed and tased by
cops. And, we're told, police went on a vulgar rant -- and portions were caught
on cell phone video.

The incident occurred during a wrap party for Oliver Stone's movie
"W" about the Prez. Local station KTBS reports and TMZ sources say
Wright, who plays Colin Powell, was repeatedly tasered and pepper sprayed as he
lay prone on his stomach in the street. We know witnesses heard the officers
using extremely foul language, including the "N" word, directed at
Wright.

Our sources say Brolin was observed by witnesses attempting to make peace
and standing still as he was repeatedly sprayed in the eyes by cops.

Brolin is know for roles in films like "No Country For Old Men"
and "In the Valley of Elah" while Wright won a Tony and Golden Globe
for the same role in "Angels in America" and costarred in
"Syriana" and Bond flick "Casino Royale."

Comments:

We need more information. Did the cops mug actors for poor performances a kind of review? Maybe the cops thought the bar brawl was an ordinary event no different from many others. Perhaps, the cops were upset with the policies of Colin Powell and George Bush.
