Meet Howard Morgan.
He was a Chicago police officer for more than eight years, and was
also a detective for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad for more
than 13 years. In his time as a Chicago police officer, he earned 13
commendations, according to FreeHowardMorgan.com.
None of that, however, was enough to protect him from being shot 28
times from members of his own former department. Then, to rub further
salt in those wounds, he was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced
to jail for 40 years.
To say the evidence in this case is lacking, is perhaps the understatement of the decade.
It all went down like this, depending upon whom you believe:
On his way home, Morgan was pulled over for an alleged traffic
violation. Then, after identifying himself as a police officer, he was
forced from his vehicle and shot 21 times in the back and seven times in
the front by four white police officers.
Three of four officers involved were also shot, but none had life-threatening wounds, The Chicago Sun-Times reported in a 2012 article.
