Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, has filed a $1 Million lawsuit against the most loved men in Philly! Sarcasm. Apparently, back on June 12th, Dr. Hill was pulled over, grabbed out of his vehicle, and physically and verbally harassed by two PPD officers. Why am I not surprised?The breakdown, or at least what the suit reads:
Around 12:30 a.m. on June 12, as he was dropping off a passenger, at 11th & Lindley Ave in Logan, Officer Richard DeCoatsworth and his partner pulled up behind him and motioned for him to move his car.
Hill indicated to the cops that he was dropping someone off, and would move immediately. The cops drove away.
As Hill pulled off, he claims DeCoatsworth pulled him over. Though he wouldn't tell him why at first, DeCoatsworth's unnamed partner later said it was for "illegal discharge of a passenger and blocking the street."
During the stop, Hill claims DeCoatsworth and his partner searched his car without a warrant or permission and that DeCoatsworth went through his pockets and dragged him out of the car by his left arm. DeCoatsworth then slammed Hill against his vehicle, pushed his fist into Hill's back and threatened to take him to jail, the suit alleges. Hill claims that DeCoatsworth also asked whether he could afford his car and went through his checkbook.
Hill was eventually let go and told to get out of the neighborhood without ever being cited or arrested.
How crazy is that?!?!?!
I hope that he gets every dime and more...then I hope he donates a portion of it to his Alma Mater, The BEST High School in the City.
The Article.
SCREAM @ ME!!!
