Federal Suit Says Markham Police Gay-Bashed Long Time Resident

CHICAGO, 11/15/07 – Attorneys for a south suburban gay man filed suit in federal court today over an alleged Memorial Day police gay bashing that included breaking into the man's home with shotguns drawn, followed by a prolonged public humiliation mixed with anti-gay epithets in front of his neighbors as he sat handcuffed to a chair at the home's entrance.

Without knocking or announcing that they were police officers, several plain-clothed Markham cops burst into the home of 47-year-old Frankie Brown on May 31st, according to the suit. They pointed assault rifles at Brown and forced him lie face down on the floor of his bathroom. They then cuffed him, dragged him into an adjacent room, and slammed him into a chair.

"I'll sleep better tonight knowing there is one less !@#$% on the street," said one officer allegedly. Other reported police comments included "We shouldn't be touching him, he takes it in the ass and sucks DICK" and "What does a !@#$% like you need with a lawyer."

Brown says cops searching the residence picked up a photo of him with male relatives, found a gay pornographic video concealed in the home, and then brought both outside of the house along with Brown to show his neighbors and other police participating in the raid. While making comments alleging that Brown had sex with the people in the photo, they shined a police spotlight on him as he sat handcuffed to a chair at the entrance of the residence. The public humiliation in front of his neighbors lasted for more than an hour.

Eventually Mr. Brown's teenage nephew, who lives with him and is his legal ward, arrived at the home. According to the suit, "The Defendant Officers immediately began harassing the young man with extremely offensive and derogatory language insinuating that he was involved in sexual activity with his uncle… The Defendant Officers then informed Mr. Brown's neighbors that Mr. Brown was HIV positive, a fact that Mr. Brown had not previously shared with anyone, and which was only discovered by the Defendant Officers by examining the medications in his medicine cabinet."

After several hours police took Mr. Brown in handcuffs to Markham's police station. The following evening he was released without charges. During the course of the raid and search, police allegedly stole approximately $150 cash that was in the residence.

Mr. Brown is represented by Jon Loevy and Matt Jenkins of the civil rights law firm, Loevy and Loevy.

"!@#$% the police" never rang so true.  (not literally, there are some !@#$% horrible stories about cops out there)

I hope they're sued for WAY more than just "police misconduct".  !@#$% these guys.  What kind of assholes would do that? 

(Assault + breaking entering + theft + misconduct + Harassment) x Hate Crime = Hopefully a long time in jail.

I'd say, "that's America for you", but this kind of behaviour isn't exactly non-existant in other countries.

Ahh well >_>.

This kind of thing really doesn't help my misanthropic attitude...

Honestly, people are idiots, and seem to fear what they don't understand or can't except. Fear leads to violence against the object of fear for quite a lot of people, it seems.

In conclusion, people are morons, and I wish I could disassociate myself from the human race due to stuff like this.

These cops should be put away for at least 5 years each. That would teach them a lesson...its a crime if someone is corrupt but its a far worse crime if the people who are stopping them are corrupt themselves. These people show why its really hard to put good people into positions of authority without it being abused.

I know you haven't, but this one just seemed too "out there" to possibly be real.  I was obviously mistaken.

There are two kinds of cops; the kind that became cops to fight crime, and the kind that wanted to be assholes and have a badge to justify it. These are obviously the latter.

It's no big, it does seem out there, although with people, you can't count anything out.
