Black student gets falsely arrested, sues city, wins...

[unit321]

The City of Evanston, Ill., has reached a tentative settlement in a lawsuit filed by a Northwestern University doctoral candidate against the city and four police officers after the then-PhD student was arrested and accused of stealing his own car, attorneys and the city manager have confirmed.
Attorneys for former Northwestern student Lawrence Crosby said the settlement amount was $1.25 million, and though Evanston City Manager Wally Bobkiewicz confirmed a settlement had been reached, he declined to provide the amount pending final City Council approval at its Jan. 28 meeting.
...
Crosby's civil lawsuit, filed Oct. 11, 2016, in Cook County Circuit Court, cited false arrest and excessive force, and asked the city of Evanston and the arresting police officers to pay at least $50,000 for "compensatory and punitive damages, fees, costs and such other relief."

That's how you make changes. fukk all that marching and internet outrage shyt hoping the guilt will make people do what's right. History has shown that you must force power structures to change. Nobody will willingly give up power.

Glad this man was able to get justice and compensation for all the bullshyt he went through. I hope more continue to sue.

 

[Jean Jacket]

Good.

Cops know who and who not to fukk with once they run the plates they'll be calm... cops not stupid they just treat black people like shyt because historically we don't have power to fukk up their day...like other groups...

I'm not disagreeing with anything you said. The cops royally fukked up though, when the judge tosses the case like he did, cause the car was his. They had to get the checkbook out right then.

Unless he was drunk or had drugs or a gun in the car or assaulted them or tried to flee the only thing they couldve done was say "Sorry for the inconvenience."

The fact that they pulled him out the car, forcibly detained him, then scratched their heads when the car came back registered to him and was like " well we can get him on resisting" they fukked up and they knew it. They just hoped he didn't know.
