Pittsburgh To Reinstate 3 Officers In Beating Case

Three white Pittsburgh plainclothes police officers were reinstated after 15 months of suspension with pay for an alleged beating of 18-year-old Jordan Miles. As previously reported, the police officers thought Miles had a soda in his pocket and ripped out his dreadlocks during the brutality.

Police Chief Nate Harper and Mayor Luke Ravenstahl announced that the Justice Department closed its investigation without filing civil rights charges against officers Richard Ewing, Michael Saldutte and David Sisak.

“It has been determined there is insufficient evidence to prove or disprove the allegations made by Mr. Miles,” Harper said.

The teen violinist’s mother, Terez Miles, said the city’s decision was “unfortunate because I think the officers are clearly guilty of wrongdoing.” She said federal authorities “went out of their way to say they didn’t think the police did anything right here or that Jordy did anything wrong. “
