Case 13-CV-1996

$7,500

EXCESSIVE FORCE/MINOR

Traffic stop Excessive force Physical force Taser Hospitalized

Plaintiff: Gerrell Love

Incident date: 06/26/2012

Location: 500 E. 115th St.

Allegations:

Love was a passenger in a vehicle, when a squad car pulled up behind them and activated its emergency lights. The driver didn't stop, but instead made a turn and collided with another vehicle at the intersection of 115th Street and South Cottage Grove Avenue. After the crash, Love got out of the vehicle and Officers Bracken and Granados took him to the ground and handcuffed him. Love told officers he would cooperate and did not resist arrest. But while he was handcuffed face-down on the ground, officers hit, stomped or kicked Love all over his body and one of the officers shocked Love with a stun-gun. Love was placed in the back of a squad car, where he felt disoriented and eventually vomitted. Officers took Love to Roseland Hospital and then to a police station. While in lock-up, Love complained of pain on his body was still bleeding, but Officers Jones and Walker ignored his further requests for medical help.
