Chicago police officer William J. Cozzi pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery. He was caught on videotape in 2005 striking a man who had been shackled in a wheelchair. Cozzi was given 18 months probation, but he was not fired by the department. Instead, he was given a two-year unpaid suspension. He is scheduled to return to work in April.
