Jude, 29, said he had been at a party on Oct. 24, 2004, when a group of white men who identified themselves as off-duty officers kicked and punched him, put a knife to his throat and jammed a pen in his ears as he begged for mercy. Jude said he heard Spengler call him a racial slur.Thank goodness it's only a few "Only Ones," right, and it's not reflective of the force? That must be why:
The police department disciplined 13 officers after the beating, including nine who were fired. Two of the fired officers won back their jobs, including Packard after a 20-day suspension.Nope, no pattern here...
Four others have pleaded guilty to similar federal charges.
