Remember the Old Days When It Was the Victims Who Won Lawsuits?
Jeremy Morse, a Los Angeles police officer who lost his job after punching black 16-year-old Donovan Jackson in Inglewood, has been awarded $1.6 million in a race discrimination case. Morse sued the Los Angeles Police Department because his partner, a black officer named Willie Crook, also hit the suspect but received only four days' suspension. Morse claims that he hit the boy and slammed him against a car because Jackson grabbed his testicles. Ironically, a testicle squeeze costs $50 in nearby West Hollywood. Source
