Lawsuit: Chicago Police Raided Wrong Apartment, Held Toddlers At Gunpoint, Killed Pet Dog

CHICAGO — Chicago police terrorized six children in the wrong apartment, demanding at gunpoint that an 11-month-old show his hands, and telling one child, “This is what happens when your grandma sells crack,” the family claims in court.

The police broke through the apartment door wearing army fatigues yelling for Charlene and the children to ‘Get on the ground!’ The officers referred to Charlene and the children as ‘m—f—ers’ numerous times.

The family dog was found dead in a location it could not have reached without being without human intervention. The dog died of strangulation from a dog pole.

Samuel Holly also went to the police station the day after the warrantless search to complain, but “despite his numerous calls the night before, was told that he could not make a complaint and he ‘should have made a complaint last night,” the family says.
