Allegations:
Taylor was driving near 49th Street and South St. Lawrence Avenue when officers pulled him over without justification. Taylor had not done anything illegal but officers pointed their guns at him anyways. As he sat in his vehicle, Taylor raised his hands in the air while holding his identification. Officers told him to get out of the vehicle. Fearing for his life, Taylor called 911 and told the operator that officers were pointing guns at him and spraying pepper spray into his vehicle. Officers saw Taylor call 911 and broke his driver's side window to drag him out. The officers threw Taylor to the ground, beat him, and destroyed his cell phone by throwing it into the street. During the arrest, officers hog-tied Taylor, who was unarmed and did not resist arrest. The officers took him to Mercy Hospital for medical treatment. Officers charged Taylor with felony resisting a police officer. Taylor was held in Cook County Jail and later released under house arrest, until a judge dismissed the charges against him 11 months later. During that time, Taylor lost his job.
