Allegations:
Scott, an African-American commander in the Cicero Police Department, was near 99th Street and Winston Avenue encouraging youngsters to consider pursuing a career in law enforcement when Chicago Police Department officers confronted him. Scott told officers who he was and what he was doing. An unknown officer responded by saying he owns everything in the neighborhood and threatening to shoot Scott, saying, "I don't give a f**k who you are." Scott asked to speak to the officers' supervisor. Officers then arrested Scott and searched his vehicle. Scott was kept in handcuffs even after officers found his Cicero police credentials. He was threatened with jail if he didn't return to Cicero and promise to never return to the neighborhood. Scott said he grew up in the neighborhood but complied and left. Later that day he returned to the neighborhood to visit friends and neighbors, and the officers again harassed Scott.
