The CPD officer who struck Chicago Police Board President Ghian Foreman five times with a baton during a George Floyd protest should be suspended for 90 days, former Chicago Police Supt. David Brown and COPA ruled, according to documents wttw obtained.
The Chicago Police officer who struck Chicago Police Board President Ghian Foreman five times on his legs with a baton during a protest that erupted after the police murder of George Floyd should be suspended for 90 days, former Chicago Police Supt. David Brown and the agency charged with investigating police misconduct ruled, according to documents obtained by WTTW News.
The probe identifies Officer Zachary Girard as the officer who struck Foreman, and concluded he did so without justification and then failed to document his use of force as required, according to documents released on March 16, Brown’s final day in office, and obtained by WTTW News on Wednesday. “It was a hard day for everyone,” Foreman said. “It was a hard day for the police officer who hit me; it was a hard day for me who got hit.”
The incident began when Foreman witnessed an altercation between two police officers and several Black men protesting near his home near 53rd Street and Lake Park Avenue. Foreman told investigators he attempted to intervene when he saw several police officers “just whaling away on” a man with their batons, according to the summary of the probe.
The incident in which Foreman was injured was captured by the city’s camera network, as well as the officers’ body-worn cameras, according to the report.
