Catherine Brown with two children was coming back home when a police cruiser with no lights or sirens on came barreling down her alleyway. “It’s a blessing I did blow my horn,” said Brown, recalling that fateful night. If not, the police car would have crashed into Browns vehicle.
However, she underestimated the police reaction. She reached for her licence but…
Brown immediately started to call 9-1-1. The recordings of those calls reveal that she was being terrorized and threatened. She begged for a police lieutenant to come to the scene.
Instead of waiting for their lieutenant to show up, Brown’s attackers tried to force open her door. Terrified that these sociopaths might kill her, Brown drove backwards out of the alley.
The dashcam video shows that Browns car stopped and the police just rammed into a car full of children.
Terrified, Brown began screaming for help.
Officer Michelle Morsi Murphy jumped out and began dousing Brown and her children with pepper spray. Meanwhile, her fellow cop was laughing at the situation.
Both cops then violently pull the mom out of the car as her children scream in terror.
The police arrested and charged Brown with attempted murder because Murphy claimed she was dragged as Brown tried to flee. However, after going to trial for the incident, Brown was found not guilty as there was no evidence of Murphy ever being in danger.
Both officers, Officer Michelle Morsi Murphy and Officer Jose Lopez, have many complaints from local citizens.
When you have that many complaints, it should alert the police department something’s wrong, no?
Her eldest daughter was 8.
The incident took place in 2013. The Chicago police have declined to comment on the case because of the pending legal action against them by Brown. The media revealed the details of the case just now. No one was punished.And they wonder why black people feel the way we do about cops! How many victims of the police brutality were silenced? How many mistreated people walk quietly?
