During the NATO Summit, the Chicago cops were crashing into people's apartments, terrorizing the residents and searching them. Without probable cause. Without warrants.
It seems that since the cops were there to search the apartment of some political activists[1], they cops took it upon themselves to go search the neighbors' apartments. For no goddamned reason whatsoever.
The Chicago police department has a long and bloody record of acting as though they were transplanted, en masse, from a police state. They often don't seem to care about fuzzy hippie concepts such as "civil rights" and "the Constitution".
One hopes that the city of Chicago is now going to have to cough up a few million dollars to settle the inevitable lawsuits.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Probably the only result of any punishing lawsuits will be that the thugs are ordered to harass poorer people next time. Or at least not leave anyone alive that can sue.

ReplyDeleteI really only find that thought satisfying if the people who ordered these raids are the ones who pay.
