From [HERE] Four District of Columbia police officers have been indicted on charges stemming from a brawl outside a downtown nightclub last year during which a man reported losing his eye.

Two of the officers are accused of repeatedly beating and kicking a Black man while off duty outside the Lotus Lounge. A third officer is accused of failing to arrest anyone in the fight, and a fourth is charged with lying to a grand jury that investigated the June 10, 2011, assault. The officers were indicted Wednesday.

The beating victim, Walter Blair II, alleged in a lawsuit filed this month that a brawl was unfolding as he was leaving the club and that he was surrounded and attacked by off-duty officers working as bouncers. The grand jury indictment says two of the officers, Kenneth McRavin and Thaddeus Modlin, Jr., repeatedly beat and kicked Blair even after he fell to the ground and that Keith Goins, another officer, witnessed the assault but did nothing. Detectives who reviewed videotape of the brawl identified the three as members of the department. A fourth officer, Yolanda Lampkin, lied to the grand jury when she said she heard McRavin identify himself as a police officer, prosecutors said.
