Jury clears Pullman police in
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

Report on Monrovia seaport vio
A presidential panel of inquiry into bloody clashes last Monday between Liberian police and security forces at the Freeport of Monrovia has recommended the dismissal of Police Inspector General, Beatrice Munah-Sieh in an eight-count recommendation.
The eight-member panel presented its findings to President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf here Monday, calling for the dismissal of the national police chief over the clashes that left about 35 security personnel and civilians wounded, and properties damaged at the seaport.
Information minister Lawrence Bropleh released the report to media, saying, "it is the consensus of the board that the Inspector General of Police (IGP) bears the greatest responsibility for the disorder at the Freeport of Monrovia on July 9, 2007."
The report confirmed initial media reports that fuel theft implicating security personnel at the port sparked the clashes between the two state security units last Monday.
"The injuries sustained and property damaged were due to a total disregard of the law enforcement code of ethics by the Inspector General of Police and officers of the national police force who responded to the SOS call of the IGP on Monday morning," the probe panel said.
It also recommended that authorities of both security agencies should "conduct full investigation into the professional misconduct of their personnel in the entire episode and take appropriate actions consistent with the law enforcement code of ethics."
Although the head of the seaport security unit was exonerated from any blame for the trouble, its deputy chief, Col. Nathaniel Zoegar was recommended for one-month suspension without pay "for dereliction of duty."
Dismissals were also recommended for seaport security officers said to have been involved in obstruction of the national police Inspector General on the day of the riot, following investigation by the port authorities.
The panel of inquiry recommended that the Liberian government take responsibility and provide full compensation to all those injured in the clashes.
President Johnson-Sirleaf is expected to act shortly on the report of the panel, which was headed National Security Advisor, Boimah Fahnbulleh and included the UN Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) and the Liberia Council of Churches, among others.
