It seems they've found the guy that threw the first beer on Artest.

I saw more of the mess on CNN this morning and noticed something interesting. Check this clip at Cincinnati Black Blog. If you ignore the amusing special effect, you'll see the first guy Artest charged, the guy in the blue smock, just turned Artest's forward motion toward some hapless random individual.

The guy in the blue smock is a cop. Has "POLICE," all caps, printed on his back.

He isn't a cop. He just has the gear. He's a self-employed contractor with a history of criminal convictions. Check out freep.com.

So he is. I didn't think that was the guy when I first say the tape because he was actually in the mix trying to pull Artest off the guy he deflected the ballplayer into.
