Several Chicago police officers are under investigation after videos surfaced showing two women being pulled from their car and thrown to the ground Sunday at the Brickyard Mall on Chicago’s Northwest Side.
The family in that car will be with several community leaders Thursday morning for a news conference to “announce their plans to get justice from a Chicago Police Department that demonstrates no respect or regard for the lives of black people.”
The Chicago Police Department strives to treat all individuals our officers encounter with respect.
