Police Brutality: City to Pay $2 Million
Gerald Cole is the victim of police brutality
Indianapolis, IN.–An unarmed man (Gerald Cole) who was shot in the back by an Indianapolis police officer has received one of the largest settlements in the city’s history.
The officer who shot him has been the subject of more than a half-dozen other citizen complaints and two other pending federal lawsuits. Nonetheless, he still works for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
