But this ain't it.

Black college swimmer sues after cops arrested him at gunpoint when they mistook him for a suspect and thought he had taken his teammates HOSTAGE


  • The American Civil Liberties Union in Illinois has filed the suit in the U.S. District Court for Central District of Illinois on behalf of Jaylan Butler
  • Butler is Eastern Illinois University's first and only black swimmer
  • On February 24 of last year, Butler and his teammates had been returning back to their Charleston campus on a school charter bus
  • Officers apprehended Butler believing he was a gunman who had shot at a truck and who was holding the team on the bus hostage
  • Butler noted that one officer had his knee in his back while another was pressing on his neck
  • The lawsuit states that an officer reportedly told him: 'If you keep moving, I'm going to blow your f*****g head off'
  • Butler claims that the officers who not give him their information when he asked for it
  • East Moline Police Officer Travis Staes, Hampton Police Officer Ethan Bush, Rock Island County Sheriff's deputies Jack Asquini and Jason Pena are named as defendants
  • The Rock Island County Sheriff's Office has released a statement saying the allegations against their deputies are 'without merit'


Slingerland continued: 'Their excuse (for taking Butler into custody) was that they thought the bus was being held hostage.

'I had all the lights on, so the bus was lit up. The bus had EIU on the side, and Jaylan was wearing an EIU jacket. I told them to get the sheriff over there because this was a very big mistake.


Thugs salary payers are about to take another hit.
