CUMMINGS, Chief Judge.
In July of 1975 thirteen Chicago police officers executed simultaneous search warrants of an apartment and a social club in adjoining buildings on West Hadden Avenue in Chicago. In the course of the search, two of the officers, Eugene Kuffel and William Schwartz, handcuffed Roberto Sanchez, a Puerto Rican window-washer who happened to be visiting the apartment, to a chair. They taunted him, and Kuffel hit him in the face. Then they took him, handcuffed, to the basement of the building next door before finally releasing him with a valedictory, “No hard feelings.”
