Two men who confessed to assaulting an off-duty
Shaker Heights policeman avoided prison Tuesday, which didn't sit well
with their victim. Patrolman Woody Richmond suspects the only reason
the men attacked him that night in October in the Flats was because
they were white and he was black. "I've had a rude awakening to how
society still works," said Richmond, a 14-year police veteran. "I was
attacked solely and purposely for the color of my skin."The
confrontation started as Richmond escorted two women both white to
their cars at about 2:15 a.m. Richmond said Sulin and Dolego taunted
the women and called him a pimp, using a racial epithet. [more]
