Inglewood, CA police officer Jeremy Morse is seen repeatedly punching Jackson, and then picking him up and slamming him down on the back of a police car.

Officer Jeremy Morse was fired, but escaped criminal charges, undisclosed settlement amount.

In a sick opportunistic, manner, the two officers involved, (Jeremy Morse and his partner Bijan Darvish won $2.4 million in a reverse racism suit, claiming a 3rd officer involved was treated differently because he was black.

The pattern that seems to be emerging for me in these cases is two fold:

1). No criminal charges / jail time if charged.
2). Case settled with civil damages.

No one goes to jail, money buys silence. We'll see if this pattern holds true in the Michael Brown case.
