Allegations:
Boston, an African- American man, was in the West Lawn neighborhood when he was arrested and charged for resisting and obstructing a peace officer. While the arrest took place, Boston did not resist officers. Later, the arresting officers—as well as those officers that stood by while the arrest took place—agreed to not report each other after making false reports to cover their misconduct. The officers involved do not have a history of falsifying reports. Boston believes that he was treated with unnecessary force and falsely charged due to racial discrimination.
