Police Officer Gets Probation For Assaulting Arrestee

OBM: The more things change the more they stay the same in INDIANA. Can someone explain how this is a deterrent for future abuse?
An Indianapolis police officer was sentenced Wednesday to 180 days of probation for roughing up an arrestee in February.
Sgt. Frank Jameson also was given a suspended one-year jail term, and he was ordered to attend anger management classes.
Jameson was charged with battery after Keith Ellis, an 18-year-old suspect in an alleged drug deal, claimed that Jameson choked him and banged his head against a wall while he was handcuffed to a pole in an Indianapolis Police Department building Feb. 9.
A second officer confirmed Ellis' account.
James, a 35-year IPD veteran, was demoted from lieutenant to sergeant shortly after the incident.
