18 US cops to pay $1 each to student for beating him
An African-American high school student DeShawn Franklin, who had sought $1 million in damages, has been awarded $1 each from 18 policemen who unlawfully beat and tasered him four years ago. The policemen entered Franklin's home without permission as he resembled another criminal's description. They also held Franklin in custody for resisting detention even after realising their mistake.
