Milwaukee Man Beaten By Police Gets No Justice

This is what happens when you supposedly take the badge of an "Off duty" police officer at a party.

(courtTV.com)In a late-night decision Friday, a Milwaukee jury acquitted three white off-duty policemen of nearly all charges in the bloody beating of an unarmed biracial man outside a house party where several off-duty officers were present.

Frank Jude Jr. suffered a brutal beating on a street in Milwaukee's Bay View neighborhood early Oct. 24. Surrounded by a dozen men, he was kicked repeatedly in the head, stripped naked and threatened with a knife, his attorney said.

Authorities knew right away who was involved, but more than three months later no one has been charged or even arrested.

The suspects? Off-duty Milwaukee police officers who claimed Jude stole one of their badges. The officers said they had to subdue Jude because he fought with them.

Witnesses tell a different story - that Jude didn't steal anything, that he wasn't resisting, and that the some of the crowd dragged him out of a truck and beat him maliciously.
