Nice.A federal jury has awarded $15 million in damages to an off-duty NYPD officer who was beaten up and pepper-sprayed inside his own home by fellow cops. His lawyer said the ex-officer was mistaken for an offender due to racial bias.
[...]
He was beaten up with batons, pepper-sprayed in his face and had his hand fractured, despite his repeated attempts to tell the police he was a member of the NYPD.
[...]
Jackson was [...] handcuffed and taken to a police station even after officers found his NYPD shield, which had been in his front pocket the whole time, the lawsuit says.
His suit, filed in 2011, says that his shooting hand was so severely injured that he might be forced to retire from law enforcement.
[...]
The Queens District Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute the arresting officers following an investigation, the New York Post reported.
[...]
“Nothing is final. Indeed, the judge’s post-trial review could lead to the verdict being set aside or a new trial,” the city Law Department said in a statement to the newspaper.
