VIDEO-- Lawsuits: Chicago cops engaged in election night hate crimes

By GottaLaff


This video is from CBS 2 Chicago.
Why?
As the Illinois senator ascended to the highest office in the United States, a family on Chicago's west end allegedly met the business end of racial hatred enshrined by law. The family is suing the Chicago police department.

Niger Arnold claims that as her neighbors celebrated Obama's election in the streets, police fired pepper spray into the crowd. As she and her family scrambled indoors, five white officers burst into her home with guns drawn.

She claims that no reason for the forcible intrusion was given, and instead the officers cursed at her, and made racist remarks.
