This is a really strange case.
A man claims his mother died because the EMT refused to give her CPR because she was black.
So they go in to talk this over with an investigator, and the investigator started out by insulting the son.
Then he followed this up by telling Mullins that his ancestors had lynched a black man and kept his skin as a knife sharpener.
Ok, so they fired him, which is good.
But then the investigator says:
******* of the year? And what the hell is in the water down south that this guy thought telling the story of his trophy skin was an appropriate way to talk with anyone? And if Mullins hadn't brought witnesses, would he even have been believed?

Mullins had filed a complaint claiming that his mother had died when the Algoods deputy fire chief refused to perform CPR because she was black. The complaint stated that the fire chief covered it up by falsifying medical reports. |

His very first question was, Mr. Mullins have you ever been to the penitentiary? Mullins recalled. That was more than insulting to me. |

They made a strap out of his skin, and they used that strap as a knife sharpener, Allen remarked. |
Ok, so they fired him, which is good.

Even after the death of Mullins mother and the intimidation that he suffered, Sewell argued that he was the true victim. I am the victim because I made a mistake, Sewell observed. |
