“Chicago police appeared at Rita King’s door after a domestic disturbance complaint. King was approached by a police officer with a taser, arrested and then taken to the police station. She remained handcuffed to a table while she was questioned. Then, allegedly, she refused to be fingerprinted until someone explained why she was under arrest. In entered police commander Glenn Evans who pressed his fist into King’s nose for three to five minutes, repeatedly saying (archived link), ‘I’m going to push your nose through your brain.’ King bled profusely, was fingerprinted and was finally released from the station. She attempted to walk home, but lost consciousness after one block.”
