- <p> CHARGES DISMISSED. Against Mark Ramsey, 31, and Mark Dickey,
- 29, former police officers in Long Beach, Calif., on trial for
- police brutality in the beating of Don Jackson, 33, during a
- traffic stop in 1989; after the jury deadlocked; in Long Beach.
- The incident received national attention because a television
- news crew videotaped Dickey apparently pushing Jackson's head
- through a store window in Long Beach. Dickey claimed that
- Jackson, who is a black former police sergeant, had provoked him
- by exiting from his car and swearing. The prosecution said it
- would not retry the officers.
