Sikh American Veteran Assaulted by Joliet, IL Police Officer
For full background on this post, click here:Sikh American Veteran Assaulted by Illinois Police Officer
Two weekends ago, a Sikh American male was assaulted, with both pepper spray and then with a metal baton, for allegedly assaulting a police officer, at his home in Joliet. SALDEF has been working with Mr. Nag to make sure that his rights are protected and that the injustice done to him does not go unheard or unpunished.
This is truly a disheartening event that Mr. Nag was subjected to and if the facts of the case pan out as told, it will potentially send shockwaves and set precedent across the country. Can an officer get away with such bigoted and hate-filled speech against someone he is arresting? It is unthinkable the kid of rage and other potential personality issues that this officer must have and how he harnessed all of that power to victimize an innocent citizen and former service-man.
