Audio: Man Killed by North Chicago Police Begged for His Life 
--------------------------------------------------------------



Newly obtained audio shows a man who died following a brutal altercation
with North Chicago police was begging for his life during the arrest.
Darrin Hanna died a week after the police beating last November. An
autopsy found six wounds on Hanna’s face and 11 taser marks on his
back. Hanna, an African American, can reportedly be heard on the tape
saying, “I was down! I was down!” and “They’re killing me!”
His family played the audio tape for a North Chicago City Council
meeting Monday night and called for the officers involved to be fired.
