Two Chicago police officers were on desk duty for almost seven years, now they’re on the verge of being fired following investigation into alleged elevator fight with a Black man
Two Chicago police officers may be fired after almost seven years after an invesitgatiion into a parking garage fight with two cops was said to began after they allegedly said a racial slur. The two men had been on desk duty sine the incident. The encounter between officers Marc Jarocki, Michael Kelly and a third sergeant Patrick Gilmore and Joseph Baskins in the parking garage on Oct. 30, 2014, the Chicago Tribune reported. Baskins was in the parking facility with friends when they ran into the trio. Court documents claim Baskins and his fiancé were in the area because they were planning on getting married at City Hall.
In a 2014 interview, a friend of Baskins told reporters, the group, which included a friend and their minor child, took a break to smoke outside after a judge announced an intermission in marriage procedures.
Once they got back on the elevator, the three officers, who allegedly drinking at a nearby bar, had already boarded. One of the officers allegedly told Baskins “you are on the wrong elevator,” and referred to him and his group by using the N-word, and making racist remarks.
Baskins asked the officer what he said, and one of the other officers responded, “You heard what he said,” the suit alleged. Baskins also accused Gilmore of punching him in the mouth before the two engaged in an all-out brawl.
