From the Buffalo News, which at least one friend of TT points out has corrected this story any number of times.
Police officials indicated Monday that they do not believe any crime was committed during a weekend brawl at a Niagara Falls casino involving State Sen. Mark J. Grisanti and a Seneca businessman.
But a new controversy about the rumble arose Monday evening when another Seneca Nation businessman told The Buffalo News he heard Grisanti yelling racial epithets at a black security officer during the Friday night incident. However, no racial epithets can be heard in a cellphone video of the incident given to the News by an attorney for another Seneca businessman.
The video shows Grisanti being held on the floor and later put in a chokehold by security officers.
The allegation of racist remarks was made by businessman Ross L. John Sr., a former member of the Senecas’ Tribal Council. John said he is certain that he heard Grisanti “at least twice” yelling a harsh racial epithet at a black security officer who had subdued him.
“I was maybe 15 feet away. I heard it,” John said. “[Grisanti] yelled, ‘Don’t you know who the [expletive] I am, you [expletive]?”
John said he is “certain” he heard Grisanti using racial epithets and will tell police that if he becomes a witness in the case.
Grisanti, R-Buffalo, told The News he was very upset during the incident but doesn’t recall making any racial statements of any kind.
“I don’t recall saying any racist word. That’s not in my nature,” Grisanti said late Monday.

The challenge to New York State Senator Grisanti’s claim of an attack blew up on my show, with eyewitnesses to the incident including the women who shot the now famous video.
