FREE CHICAGO
The mayor - who has been associated with mob-connected businessmen, who looked the other way and allowed Jon Burge to torture innocent men as a method to solve high profile murder cases, who refuses to be deposed to testify on his role in the Burge torture scandal, who continues to set up an environment for police abuse by shielding the force’s bad apples - now has the power to ignore justice as he has before. What has changed?

The City Council voted to continue a climate in the City of Chicago where out-of-control policemen are free to violate the public at will. Chicago is presently being judged internationally for torturing innocent men wholesale under Burge. Daley was State’s Attorney and informed of torture committed by Burge. Daley was able at his whim to bring Burge to justice and he did not lift a finger. Later, when the scandal emerged at a legal defense fund-raiser for Burge, Daley was photographed grinning for the camera with his arm around Burge. Why trust oversight of the Police Department to a man who allowed torture to continue and defended the torturer? If the new head of OPS replaces the Police Commander who previously reported to Daley then the only thing that has changed in the chain of command is the sex of the reporter. Facts: Daley appoints the head of OPS and he decides the course of action. Others advise him but Daley rules. He is in court now to hide the names of the worst police from you, the public.

Let’s fight for freedom and democracy at home. Let’s free the responsible police from the corruption of the bad apples Daley is hiding from us. We can free Chicago by establishing a truly independent Citizen’s Review Board to oversee police misconduct.
The City Council should vote 50 to zero to put this in place. Chicago’s police have been denying life-liberty and justice to too many for too long. They are an international embarrassment to everyone. Until we win the fight against the torturing of citizens in Chicago - we will never convince Washington to stop torturing non-citizens world-wide.
