Board suggests penalty for Oakland Cop
/An Oakland police officer should receive a
four-day suspension for hitting a man and breaking his jaw in three
places, according to the Citizens Police Review Board. After a
four-hour hearing Thursday night, the board voted to sustain
26-year-old Donte Hooker's allegation that Officer Anthony Caldwell
punched him after chasing him up two flights of stairs in an East
Oakland apartment complex. Although Caldwell said Hooker ran from him,
Hooker said he did not realize Caldwell was chasing him. Hooker said he
had both hands up and was surrendering when Caldwell struck him. [more
