WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) -- The U.S. Military Academy at West Point says it has reinstated a cadet involved in an airport scuffle with bodyguards for R&B diva Patti LaBelle.
Richard King, a member of the Class of 2011, was on already suspended separation for previous conduct when the March 11 scrape happened at an airport in his hometown of Houston.
In a lawsuit against the Grammy Award-winning LaBelle, he says three of her bodyguards attacked him for no reason. The singer has countersued, saying King was drunk and hurling racial slurs.
Video shows King on the phone and a shoving match ensuing.
A lawyer for King didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
West Point says the 23-year-old King will start classes Monday. If he meets academic standards, he will graduate in December.

Yep, “She should be ashamed of herself” for a whole lot of reasons, but don’t kid yourself, holders people don’t give damn what they do to a cracker.
In a lawsuit against the Grammy Award-winning LaBelle, he-—says three of her bodyguards attacked him for no reason.
So, he was a flash mob of one?
West Point would never cover it’s ass with a statement like that. ;)
Fact is, they kicked him out based on false and malicious report they received from a police officer who was not happy with a mere racist thug attack. He wanted the kid’s life ruined, too.
That cop should be sued by the cadet. If the cop did not see the attack himself, he had it on tape and knew he was lying.
