Chicago Police Board Rejects Firing Officer Accused of Making False Statements in Hospital Patient Beating


The confrontation happened June 3, 2014, when then-24-year-old Rayshon Gartley was taken to Jackson Park Hospital for a mental health evaluation. Prosecutors said Gause was seen on surveillance footage punching and shoving Gartley, who was restrained and handcuffed at the hospital.
Gause omitted from a report that Gartley was handcuffed when he punched him, according to a document outlining the charges. Gause also told COPA investigators in an interview that he didn’t make contact with Gartley’s face or head, the document states.
But hospital surveillance video allegedly captured Gause, who was in uniform, holding Gartley’s arms behind his back and shoving him against a wall, causing him to bounce back toward the officer, prosecutors said. Gause then appeared to punch Gartley in the face with a closed fist.

Monday evening's community response vigil, which took place at the scene of the shooting near 24th Street and Sawyer Avenue, included a balloon launch for the boy who, according to his family, was always cracking jokes and aspired to become a police officer.
