Jouppi then stooped to particularly low level and began to pummel Jackson to the point of knocking him backwards out of the wheelchair and then getting on top of his paralyzed body.
Jackson was booked for felony assault. The charges were later dropped.
Jouppi, 36, faced fifth-degree assault and disorderly conduct charges after the aggressive incident. This past November, Jouppi was found not guilty on all charges.
Even Duluth Police Chief Gordon Ramsay, was upset with the outcome and posted the following statement to his Facebook page,
“While I respect the judicial process I am very disappointed by the verdict in the Richard Jouppi case. His actions on September 21, 2012 were not consistent with department training or policy, bringing discredit to our department and detracting from the excellent work our women and men do on a daily basis. As I said previously, we will do everything we can legally to ensure he never works for our department again.”

It should come as no surprise that Jouppi was found not guilty. Cops can murder, beat, humiliate, rape and sodomize and keep their positions.
As he defended himself on the stand he even proclaimed the “unofficial” police oath, “It’s a tough position to be in as a police officer because I have to go home. I have my wife and kids at home.”
The bright side to this story, if there is one, is that Police Chief Ramsay has said his department has done everything in its power to ensure that Jouppi never works on the force again.
Back
in 2012 Richard Jouppi was booking 50-year old, wheelchair bound,
Anthony Jon Jackson in the detoxification center. Jouppi was clearly
causing pain and hurting Jackson, at which point Jackson reached up with
his arm to defend himself, and told Jouppi, “you can’t do that.”
