Police “disappeared” more than 7,000 people at an off-the-books interrogation warehouse in Chicago, nearly twice as many detentions as previously disclosed, the Guardian can now reveal. ... The narcotics, vice and anti-gang units operating out of Homan Square, on Chicago’s west side, take arrestees to the nondescript warehouse from all over the city: police data obtained by the Guardian and mapped against the city grid show that 53% of disclosed arrestees come from more than 2.5 miles away from the warehouse. No contemporaneous public record of someone’s presence at Homan Square is known to exist.How much harder would it be for the Chicago cops to then just kill them, like the Argentinians did during their so-called Dirty War? Nobody would know that the victims were taken there, for there would be no arrest records.
Nor are any booking records generated at Homan Square, as confirmed by a sworn deposition of a police researcher in late September, further preventing relatives or attorneys from finding someone taken there.
“The reality is, no one knows where that person is at Homan Square,” said Craig Futterman, a professor at the University of Chicago Law School who studies policing. “They’re disappeared at that point.”
Hell, how do we know that they weren't doing that?
By the way, don't expect the self-styled constitutional protection groups, such as the Oath-Keepers, to give a shit about any of this, for reasons that should be obvious to a casual observer.
No CPD have been jailed yet?
ReplyDeleteAnd they don't want anyone to own a pistol, either.
So why aren't the Oathkeepers upset about this violation of the Constitution? Didn't they swear to defend the Constitution?
ReplyDeleteHmm.... something fishy here... ;).
There was an episode on "The Good Wife" about this place.
