Plaintiff:
Jasmine D. Allen
Incident date:
06/03/2014
Location:
6300 S. Indiana Ave.
Allegations:
Smith, James and Allen were walking up 63rd Street near South Indiana Avenue when they saw police pull over an elderly woman. The three women said that it was a shame that officers were questioning an elderly woman when real crime needed to be investigated. Hearing this comment, a male officer grabbed the three women, handcuffed them, then threw them against the police car. One male officer pushed and scratched Smith and made angry, racist and derogatory remarks, then threatened to take the women to jail and searched their pockets. When the women protested, a female officer took over the search and took ID cards from them. Police searched their names in a database and the three women were later let go.
