Three Police Officers Indicted In Videotaped Beating


We all can remember the vivid images of the elder black man being beaten by New Orleans police officers a few weeks after Hurricane Katrina. Even though the videotape showed the vicious beating, the police officers maintained their innoence. Well, a jury of your peers didn't believe you. On March 29th, the officers were charged with battery and other offenses. Also, two of the officers were fired. One was suspended but is now back on the force.

Even though these FORMER officers have not been convicted yet, it feels good to know that this incident wasn't swept under the rug.
