Four of the eight policemen had been suspended by the department for their conduct in the disorders. Seven of the eight were charged with beating various newsmen or students. The eighth, Lieut. Carl Dobrich, was charged with two counts of perjury stemming from his denial before the grand jury that he had taken part in the assaults. Some Chicago police, noting that 43 of their colleagues have already been disciplined in the wake of the convention disorders, are grumbling that the newly indicted cops were "thrown to the wolves...
