Josh Brolin is in a ‘Bad Predicament’

“[I’m] sorry. I’m kind of in a bad predicament right now,” he told reporters before walking off.

Police arrested Brolin, 40, who is currently shooting the George Bush biopic W, and his co-star Jeffrey Wright, along with four crew members, after they impeded police officers who attempted to break up a bar brawl in Shreveport, Louisiana, July 12. (They were each charged with one misdemeanor count of interfering with police.)

Local Shreveport papers reported that police tasered Jeffrey Wright, and later shot both he and Josh with pepper spray after they refused to quit holding on to each other during the fight with police. There are rumors of cell phone video footage that appeared to show the police calling my beloved Jeffrey the “N” word.

The tape also allegedly showed Jeffrey laying prone on the pavement as police continued to taser and spray him with pepper spray while shouting disgusting racial slurs.

Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover denied the allegations (surprise!), and said the police “conducted themselves in a manner that is, without question, beyond reproach.” Umkay.
