Joliet cop beats up Sikh veteran, screaming "Fucking Arab!"

A Sikh US Gulf War veteran was pepper-sprayed and beaten by a Joliet, IL cop, who screamed racial slurs at him while he whacked the vet with his baton. The Sikh man had left his junker van in his driveway, the cop asked him to put it in his garage. The vet said that his van was inoperable, and his driveway was his personal property. The cop called him a fucking Arab, a fucking immigrant, and told him to go back to his fucking country.

Mr. Nag then came outside to answer the officer’s questions regarding the van. The Joliet police officer then demanded that Mr. Nag park the van inside his garage and not on the driveway, to which Mr. Nag responded to the officer that it was not possible and that regardless, the van is parked on his private property and he has a right to park it on his driveway. At this moment, the officer pulled out his pepper spray and attacked Mr. Nag. As Mr. Nag screamed in agony, the officer removed his baton and violently struck Mr. Nag numerous times until he fell to the ground. While the assault ensued, the officer was reported by both Mr. and Mrs. Nag as saying, “You f****** Arab! You f***** immigrant, go back to you f****** country before I kill you!”
