MONTGOMERY, Ill. - When George Taylor approached the scene where Montgomery, Ill., police were questioning his girlfriend's son outside her house, he says he made eye contact with one of the officers, and recognized him.

"It took maybe five or six seconds and I was grabbed from behind, and they all rushed me. One grabbed me by my neck, and then I was taken to the ground," Taylor said during an interview Wednesday with 48 Hours' Crimesider. The Feb. 21, 2014, takedown, which involved at least three police officers, was recorded on a dashboard camera.

Video originally obtained by CBS Chicago shows another officer, who Taylor said he also recognized from a previous incident in which he was pulled over and called the n-word, appearing to knee him. Taylor lost a tooth during the encounter, according to a federal lawsuit filed in June.

Throughout the episode, Taylor can be heard saying, "It's all good, it's all good" and "cuff me."

Taylor was taken to jail and charged with obstructing identification and resisting arrest, but was found not guilty after a judge reviewed the video.

During the trial, police from the town of about 19,000, 45 miles west of Chicago, described an encounter in which Taylor was given several warnings before his arrest, according to Taylor's attorney Michael Schmiege.

"They testified at trial that they were talking to George, asking for his name, saying you need to leave, and then threatening to arrest him. They made it seem like a long process," Schmiege said.

But the judge didn't buy that story. In rendering his decision, he noted that Taylor did not appear combative or non-compliant in the video. He pointed out that it was just seconds between the moment police asked Taylor for his name and when he was brought to the ground.

"If I didn't have a fair judge, I'd be in jail right now, for no reason," Taylor said.

Still, he and his family fled the town.

"We knew we had to get out of there," Taylor said. Two run-ins was enough.

Four and half years earlier, the same officers pulled Taylor and his then-girlfriend over for allegedly speeding. One of the officers was recorded on dash cam using the n-word to describe the occupants of the car, who included Taylor, his girlfriend at the time, and several others, including children.

They were in a minivan early in the morning on October 26, 2009, when they were pulled over. The officer said they were going 57 miles per hour in a 45 zone. Taylor's girlfriend, the driver, denied that, claiming she noticed the officer following her long before the ticket, and made sure not to speed.

Eventually, at least five officers participated in the 1 1/2 hour stop. At one point, Taylor's girlfriend, Sherida Hughes, called 911 for help, but that call was routed to the Montgomery Police Department, and, according to Taylor's lawsuit, the recording was "lost."

Throughout the incident, Taylor and others in the car refused to leave the car or identify themselves, and officers can be heard on video speculating about ways to force them out of the vehicle, or find a pretense for getting in.

"We can easily pop that window real quick. Reach in and grab him by the head," one says.

"I was going to spray in there," another says, after noting that the presence of children meant they couldn't use such tactics.

Eventually, police let the van and driver go with just a speeding ticket.

"Bunch of (expletive) (n-word), man," one can be heard saying.

"Don't worry...you'll make up for it next time," another says.

A week later, the driver, Sherida Hughes, filed a complaint with the Montgomery Police Department. And a series of Freedom of Information Act requests by Taylor eventually led to the release of video of the incident. One officer was suspended for three days for using offensive language, and a lawsuit filed by Taylor was later settled.

But neither's ordeal was over.

On December 23, 2009, Hughes was arrested while shopping for Christmas presents, according to Taylor's lawsuit. Police claimed she obstructed justice during the traffic stop by locking her car door, and refusing to identify her passengers.

Three months later, after viewing video of the traffic stop, the county prosecutor dismissed the charges and traffic tickets.

In June 2015, Taylor filed suit against the Village of Montgomery, Kendall County (which recorded video of the second incident on the dash cam of a deputy's vehicle), and several officers, including the two who were present at both incidents.

Montgomery Police Chief Daniel Meyers declined comment on Thursday morning, citing Taylor's lawsuit.

Schmiegge, Taylor's attorney, said he's not sure how the department will defend itself when presented with the videos.

"I don't know what their defense is going to be, stubbornness?"
