Allegations:
A few minutes after Parra and a friend arrived at a car repair shop at 77th and South Claremont Avenue, officers burst into the shop with their guns drawn. Officers ordered Parra to lie down on the ground, handcuffed him and put a foot on Parra's face. One officer found a handgun in Parra's waistband, then called him a “stupid Mexican m*********ker,” pointed the gun at his face, hit him several times in the face and head --causing Parra's head to hit the concrete floor-- and kicked his lower body. The beating caused Parra's right eye and nose to bleed, his eye to swell shut, and broke his nose; he also suffered facial cuts and strained neck ligaments. Other officers watched the beating and laughed as Parra lay bleeding on the ground.
