A jury's finding on behalf of three Pullman police officers accused of civil rights violations when they broke up a fight vindicates a department unfairly accused of racism, an attorney said Friday.
A U.S. District Court jury unanimously found for the three officers Thursday to end a federal civil rights trial stemming from a call to break up a fight at Pullman's Top of China restaurant in September 2002.
Pepper spray used on fighters in a downstairs restaurant made its way to an upstairs night club, the Attic, where hundreds of people, mostly black students, were dancing... Read more

Delhi: Police inspector commit
Delhi Police inspector has committed suicide alleging that he was being harassed and intimidated by police chief KK Paul.
Inspector Devendra Manchanda's family is devastated. Thursday had begun like any other ordinary day, but no one in the family knew that it would end in tragedy.
Suspended in 2004 on charges of corruption Inspector Manchanda took his own life on Thursday.
Family helpless
His wife is suffering from cancer and the family is now helpless. The family blames the police system for their fate.
"The commissioner has scrapped the FIR, what was legal has become illegal and what was illegal is now legal," said Puja, Devendra's daughter.
Inspector Devendra, posted at the Kashmiri Gate police station, had filed an FIR in what he stated was a land scam in 2004. But soon after he did so, he came under extreme pressure to withdraw the FIR.
When he refused to buckle under this pressure that was allegedly coming from senior police officials, including Delhi Police Commissioner KK Paul, he was suspended.
Waiting for justice
In the next two years, while Inspector Devendra was on suspension, he appealed to the Delhi High Court and even the Human Rights Commission for justice, but there was none coming.
Thereafter, on Thursday, he committed suicide. Such was his frustration with the system that in his suicide note Inspector Devendra made a reference to KK Paul no less than 15 times.
And now with the Inspector Devendra dead, his family's hopes of justice are even dimmer.
