Lawsuit Filed Against Chicago: Handcuffed Black Man Beaten by Police and Denied Medical Treatment
Monday, March 14, 2011 at 09:30PM 
From [HERE] A 19-year-old Chicago man who was allegedly beaten by police while he was handcuffed filed a lawsuit today claiming police used excessive force and failed to stop the beating, according to the complaint.
The lawsuit, filed against the City of Chicago and unnamed police officers and sergeants, claims Gregory Jeffries was stopped by police Oct. 11 as he and a friend were leaving at eh King Gyro carry out at 79th Street and Vincennes Avenue.
During the stop, Jeffries was handcuffed with his hands behind his back and was hit several times by an unnamed sergeant, causing Jeffries to spit blood onto the ground, according to the complaint.
Jeffries was charged with trespassing, but the charge was dropped in December, according to the complaint filed in federal court in Chicago.
The 10-count complaint claims, among other things, that no other officers intervened during the beating; that Jeffries was deprived of his constitutional rights; and that Jeffries was denied medical attention during his time in police custody.
Jeffries suspects the workers at King Gyro called the police and told them he was trespassing. He said he was in the restaurant with a friend but did not order food.
"[The police are] supposed to respect and protect us, and instead they want to disrespect and put their hands on people for no reason," he said. "I could see if we swung at them, but none of that occurred."
The alleged beating made headlines in October when former police Superintended Jody Weis took the unusual step by quickly going public with the alleged beating and removing a sergeant from duty, pending an investigation by the Independent Police Review Authority.
A City of Chicago law department spokeswoman did not return inquiries Monday seeking comment.
