Mom's lawsuit alleges Chicago cops beat kids


A mother of two from the South Side filed a federal lawsuit Thursday accusing two white police officers of harassing, beating and arresting her children at their school playground in May...

The suit alleged that after his son left the field, Smith arrived and assaulted J.M. Smith also attacked A.M. when she tried to pull him off her younger brother, the suit said. Smith and Evitt later ordered two female African-American officers to arrest the children, the suit said. J.M. and A.M. were held for eight hours but later exonerated in Juvenile Court, the suit said. Counsel for the police could not be reached.
