Allegations:
On July 22, 2007, Bass was at an athletic event in the South Loop when police arrived and broke up the event. Bass expressed her opinion that the officers' actions were unfair and that they would not do the same thing to a group of whites. Three days later, officers arrested Bass in front of her minor children, searched her and took her into custody. Due to the events that took place three days before, officers charged her with inciting a riot or reckless conduct. Bass was booked, processed, charged and jailed. While at the police station, and while she was handcuffed to a wall, she was repeatedly insulted by the officers. During this time, she also became sick. The charges were later dropped.
