13 Milwaukee officers face possible discipline in beating

[Rose Siding]

MILWAUKEE — A panel has recommended disciplinary action against 13 members of the Milwaukee Police Department in the beating of a black man last fall outside the home of a white officer, a spokeswoman said today.

Anne E. Schwartz said the department's Professional Performance Division recommended 79 charges against the 13. The recommendations were made to Police Chief Nan Hegerty.

Three officers already face felony criminal charges in the beating of Frank Jude Jr. in the early morning hours of Oct. 24. Those officers are no longer on the force. Schwartz would not say whether any of those three are among the 13 facing disciplinary charges.

Jude spent several days in the hospital after the beating, which took place after he arrived with a black friend and two white women at the home of a white member of the police force. A group accused Jude and his friends of stealing a badge, then punched and kicked Jude, removed his pants and stuck a pen in his ears as they hurled racial slurs, according to authorities.
