Evanston Police released a dash cam video on Wednesday of a 2015 interaction between an officer and a black engineering doctoral candidate accused of stealing his own car.
On October 10, 2015, a woman called the cops on Lawrence Crosby—who was working on his own vehicle—to report that a black man appeared to be breaking into a car and stealing it, Fox Chicago reports.
“Hi somebody’s trying to break into, somebody’s trying to break into a car,” she told the 9-11 dispatcher, later adding, ”I think the person just got into the car.”
Crosby was driving towards the Northwestern University campus when police pulled him over. His car was equipped with its own dash cam video, and on the recording Crosby can be heard telling someone he suspected he was being followed.
Police pulled him over in a church parking lot, where Crosby was violently detained for stealing his own car.
“On the ground, on the ground, down on the ground—down on the ground, turn around,” police said as several officers swarmed Crosby and forced him to the pavement. He was charged with resisting arrest and disobeying an officer.
Evanston Alderman Brian Miller—who’s running for mayor—told Fox Chicago he’s furious with what’s shown on the video, saying it should be a “wakeup call” for the police department.
“I understand being a police officer is a tough job, but we need them to exercise judgment in their day to day operations,” Miller said “And in this situation, within ten seconds of Mr. Crosby getting out of his car with his hands in the air, he was tackled, he was kneed while he was standing up, then he was punched repeatedly by multiple officers, for allegedly stealing his own car. Our police officers need to be better than that.”
A judge threw out the criminal charges against Crosby. He filed civil rights lawsuit against the Evanston Police Department.

Those cops were just a bunch of weak white boys and beatin up on a ? makes them feel strong

Bad all bad this a prime example of bad policing. You are guilty until proven inocent, had this been a person of a different color I don't think they would have jumped on his back like this,
-
How are you supposed to "follow orders" when you have fifty-eleven cops rushing towards you with guns yelling different commands.....anybody would be confused/scared during that timeframe.....these cops should have ran his plates, asked for identification all while under the assumption of innocence...its infuriating to say the least.....he did the right thing by pulling over to a well lit area
-

Add it to the list of highly questionable actions by law enforcement captured on video that investigations concluded were justified.
-
Resisting arrest for being wrongfully arrested

She really tried to play victim....

Dude trying to defend how they jumped him, basically sounded like he said "That's the way we do ? but we're no longer going to do it like that because that's not the way we suppose to do ? " ..... smh
-
Won't be much longer.
-
Can one of our resident ic detectives find this cave ? so we can shame her into oblivion for being racist. Please and thanks

Aiight.. I'm going to say it..
Dude should not have jumped out the car like that.. When you get pulled over you NEVER jump out the car like that.. Had he stayed in the car and rolled down his windows.. The cops would have asked for his license, registration & insurance (Or at least that's what they were supposed to do).. And this thing would "potentially" would have ended after he ran his paperwork.
Jumping out on the cops like that especially as a black man is a bad bad bad bad bad idea..
