Chicago Police Torture Cases - A Call for Action!

On January 9, 2008, the Chicago City Council approved a nearly $20 million legal settlement to four African American men who were tortured into confessions by former police Cmdr. John Burge and his subordinates. The four allegedly were subjected to electric shocks, beatings and other brutality by Burge and his men. Though the settlement in the Burge cases is a victory, we must push for continued justice and accountability in these cases:

Join us in calling for the federal prosecution of John Burge and other Area 2 and 3 Chicago Police officers!

Join us in calling for new hearings for the 26 African American torture victims who remain convicted and incarcerated!

Join us in calling for reparations and psychological counseling on behalf of all of the torture victims!

Burge is a hero. Why is it never mentioned what the scumbags did to end up in jail? May they rot in hell.

Burge has been indicted!

Best case scenario? The fat fucker dies in prison.

Second best case scenario? He goes into Club Fed a "tight end", and comes out a "wide receiver".
