Big Payout To California Police Officers Over Harassment

(South Gate, CA) -- Four minority police officers have won a big settlement for harassment on the job. The California quartet were awarded ten-point-four-million-dollars yesterday because of their ties to a pair of controversial Latino city officials. According to the "Los Angeles Times," the illegal harassment was linked to the cops association with former South Gate police chief Rick Lopez and Treasurer Albert Robles. Lopez was recently ousted as police chief in a recall election, while Robles was sentenced to ten years in prison for embezzlement.
