In Tulia Texas a jury has recommended that a former police officer who set up dozens of African-Americans in a drug sting should be sentenced to 10 years probation for perjury. The officer Tom Coleman fabricated evidence to arrest 46 people on drug charges. More than 10 percent of the town’s African-American population was rounded up in the sting. The arrested people ended up being sentenced to up to 300 years in prison based on Coleman’s faked evidence. All of the arrested have since been pardoned but not before some spent four years in prison.
