Chicago Police Commander Jon Burge Convicted Of Lying About Torture 1

Decades after torture allegations were first leveled against former Chicago police commander Jon Burge, a federal jury has found him guilty of lying about torturing prisoners into making confessions. Burge has long been accused of overseeing the systematic torture of more than 100 African American men. Two years ago federal prosecutors finally brought charges against Burge--not for torture, but for lying about it. On Monday afternoon, after a five-week trial, Jon Burge was found guilty on all counts of perjury and obstruction of justice for lying about the abuse. He could face up to 45 years in prison.

i was a Chicago cop and wrote about the corruption and brutality I saw while I was on the force. Read my book, Brotherhood of Corruption. It will open your eyes!

It will not happen. He will go to a plush country club prison hand picked by his fellow KKKops.

If it were up to me he would be sent to the same hell hole where he sent others. Maybe then his fellow inmates would extract a little payment in kind.
