From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Rep. Maxine Waters joined black activists Friday to condemn jury awards totaling $2.4 million for two white police officers who sued Inglewood after one was fired and the other suspended in the videotaped beating of a black teenager, Donovan Jackson, during an arrest.
“Justice still awaits in this case,” Waters (D-Los Angeles) told a crowd outside City Hall.
Officers Jeremy Morse and Bijan Darvish sued the city for discrimination, saying a black officer who struck Jackson with a flashlight was not as severely punished as they were.
