The history of reform within the Chicago Police Department has always been a ruse.

Basically,the police departments in the U.S. need to be shut down and reconceived with a new set of people and a new philosophy.

License to kill. NYPD,CPD. All the same.

Now that the Cook County Board of Supervisors has asked the U.S. Justice Department to expand its investigation to include the Homan site, which hopefully results in its immediate closure, it’s time that both these organizations look into the CPD’s protection of drug trafficking in the Austin District.

The report “lays out with extraordinary clarity the department’s long record of racial profiling, torture and killings and makes scores of recommendations that might offer Chicagoans some hope.

“As the report said, people from all walks of life believe that the Chicago police force, instead of protecting them, is a lethal threat to their safety, which is understandable since the lives of numerous people of color ‘came to an end solely because of an encounter with C.P.D.'”

“… it advises scrapping a hopeless broken police oversight system in favor of a new investigative agency that would be under civilian control.”

CPD shoots unarmed citizens and then arrests anyone who protests their continuous murderous actions.

The answer isn’t better training for the CPD; it’s about a complete change in administration and culture.

The CPD needs to be overseen and controlled by a democratically elected citizens board.

The police do not “serve and protect” communities; they serve and protect the criminal .00001%, who remain in power only because they have these thugs.

Before ex-police chief McCarthy was fired in Chicago, he stepped down in Newark. A Justice Department investigation soon followed. According to Chicago Magazine:

“Seventy-five percent of Newark police stops lacked legal justification, and these stops disproportionately affected African Americans. …

“In Newark, the Justice Department also found a “pattern or practice of unconstitutional force” and faulted an internal review process that sustained only one civilian use-of-force complaint during a six-year period that included McCarthy’s entire tenure. In Chicago, less than two percent of complaints filed between March 2011 and September 2015 resulted in disciplinary action, according to police data obtained by the Invisible Institute.”

“A legal expert told the Tribune that reforms and monitoring in Chicago could come close to $100 million.”
