Cop beats cop: Black NYPD officer beaten up by policemen awarded $15 million in damages

‘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.

Larry Jackson, a 45-year-old black off-duty police officer, was holding his daughter’s birthday party outside his home in Queens in 2010. In the middle of the party, a dispute between some of the guests broke out, forcing Jackson’s wife to call 911.

When police arrived, they mistook Jackson for one of the troublemakers. 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.’
