I don't know what this boat brawl story is.
Well, let me help, since I know you people don't read newspapers.
Three White men were charged with assault after they attacked a Black riverboat co-captain at the city’s Riverfront Park over the weekend and ignited a
brawl largely along racial lines, authorities in Montgomery, Ala., said.
Montgomery Police Chief Darryl J. Albert told reporters Tuesday that the three men aboard a private pontoon boat — Richard Roberts, 48; Allen Todd, 23; and Zachery Shipman, 25 — have four warrants pending in the attack on Damien Pickett, a co-captain of the Harriott II Riverboat, which was blocked from docking by the pontoon boat. Roberts has two warrants pending, while Todd and Shipman each have one pending warrant.
“The co-captain, as he approached the dock and attempted to peacefully move the boat over, the owners of the boat confronted him in a hostile way,” Albert said.
Authorities said that they had consulted with the FBI and do not have the evidence to charge the men with a hate crime or with inciting a riot. Albert told reporters Tuesday that authorities may bring additional charges if more evidence becomes available.

The incident occurred at the Riverfront Park on the banks of the Alabama River. The park features the Harriott II, which offers dinner, dancing and live entertainment, according to the city’s
website. The park also has an amphitheater, a stadium and a Union Station Train Shed, which has been a National Historic Landmark since 1976.
