EXCLUSIVE: Jury awards $15M to NYPD Negro cop Larry Jackson who sued police officers for falsely arresting and beating him

An NYPD cop who sued a dozen fellow cops for falsely arresting and beating him at his Queens home was awarded $15 million in damages Wednesday by a federal jury.

"I feel vindicated," Larry Jackson, 45, told The Daily News after the stunning verdict. "Just like they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

Jackson told the jury he became the victim of a police riot after his wife called 911 on Aug. 22, 2010 to report an armed man had crashed their daughter's birthday party. Jackson was unarmed and tried to convince the gunman to leave the party.
