Plaintiff: Michael Davis

Incident date: 11/27/2009

Location: 6313 S. Wood St.

Allegations:

Davis was at home when Officers Gofron and McNamara arrived in response to a disturbance complaint.They ordered Davis to put his hands behind his back for his safety and theirs; Davis complied. He asked the officers why he was being arrested and they told him to shut up and to stay where he was until they finished doing what they had come to do. When Davis attempted to talk to Gofron, the officer struck him in the mouth and said "nigger, if you don't shut the f**k up or you going get f**k up some more." McNamara pushed a handcuffed Davis outside, making him miss a step on his porch. Additional officers waited for them and began to kick and beat Davis until he passed out. He woke up at the hospital while getting an X-ray of his ribs. Soon after, he was released to the police, with an order from the doctor to be under observation. The officers ignored the order, and a supervisor at the station stated that if Davis dies, it would be in jail, where he belonged.
