Plaintiff:
Joe Banks, Jr.
Incident date:
07/25/2011
Location:
600 N Sawyer Ave.
Allegations:
Banks was riding his bike on the sidewalk as officers chased an individual on foot. Officer Bay fired several shots at the individual, two of which hit Banks in the buttocks and back. An unknown officer went to retrieve Banks after he fell off his bike, repeatedly calling him "nigger" and telling Banks to look into the officer's eyes because he was going to be the last person Banks saw before he died. Bay and the other officers then filed false reports, charging Banks with aggravated assault to a police officer. Banks was found not guilty more than a year later.
