A man with a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago and another man pursuing his Ph.D. at the school say that certain Chicago police officers in plainclothes brutally beat them and three uniformed Chicago police officers who responded to the scene told them to "forget the incident ever happened."
Matthew Clark, a Ph.D., and Gregory Malandrucco, a Ph.D. candidate, say that on February 7, 2010 at 3AM at Arturo's Tacos on Western Avenue, the following occurred:
- While standing up to leave, a plainclothes police officer shoved Malandrucco and glared at him because Malandrucco unintentionally obstructed the officer's path to the cashier or exit.
- When Clark and Malandrucco left Arturo's, they found the plainclothes officers in the parking lot, where they began to yell at Clark and Malandrucco in an aggressive manner.
- Clark and Malandrucco offered to shake hands and make peace.
- One of the male plainclothes officers then beat Clark until he lost consciousness.

I call BS on this frivolous lawsuit. The alleged cops never even announced themselves as police, they're just going on what the female said. There is no cop alive who would actually say "they're cops, they'll beat your ass."
