The Devil’s in the Details

The Chicago Police Department will not reform itself. This is why we are inviting you to join us and force the reforms that will protect us as citizens and protect good cops from bad cops who hide behind the shield.

Just recently, a cell phone video surfaced of a young unarmed black man being beaten by a Chicago Police officer. “While he’s pinned on the ground with several officers surrounding them, one of the officers can be seen striking (the man) in the back of the head several times with his face against the asphalt.”

Although this senseless and inhumane police violence was captured on video, the likelihood that this cop will be held accountable is slim to none. This is because the Chicago Police Union (the Fraternal Order of Police) has successfully negotiated protections through their contract that shield police officers from being held accountable when they violently violate citizens. This is why we must reform the Chicago Police Contract.

Join us Wednesday, May 24, at Greater St. John AME located at 6207 S Throop from 6:30-8:30 pm to learn the “Devil in the Details” of the police contract and how we can force reforms.

Together we are rising to the civil rights issue of the day and ensuring that Black Lives truly matter by creating real accountability measures for the Chicago Police.
