An ex-Chicago cop is indicted on brutality charges

. Bail is set for an ex-Chicago police commander who was arrested on charges related to his alleged role in brutalizing Black suspects during the 1980s. The FBI arrested 60-year-old Jon Burge at his home near Tampa, Fla., on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice for allegedly lying about the physical abuse and torture of the suspects dating back to the 1980s.  The U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago said Burge was released on $25,000 bond in Tampa during a hearing at which he was also ordered to surrender his passport and gun. Burge was a supervisor in the Chicago Police Department’s Area Two and allegedly was aware of officers working over suspects, often employing beatings, electric shocks and suffocation, including one who later sued the department, authorities said in a statement. Burge, according to the feds, gave written statements in the civil case in which he said that he was unaware of any instances of physical abuse or threats in the interrogation of suspects. Prosecutors said Tuesday that Burge not only knew of the practices but had taken part in such incidents. Federal authorities say Burge could not be arrested for the actual abuse because the statute of limitation had run out.

honkys actually commit more crimes than African Americans, it is just that more reported false or otherwise crime are reported on african americans, if umlaw and david had a life they might know about research and then instead of blaming black people for their problems ,like welfare and their trailer park life. Then umlaw and david might actually make themselves useful instead of living off of the government.

if you were to google whites of welfare, you would come across time magazine website, and their you would find that more honkys live on welfare than any other race, umlaw and david are of failed races so they never could know what it is to live in society and pay taxes.

fakefacts:
You have no clue about me. I have an ivy league level law degree my dude. What do you do? ‘Fries?’ No, i’m ok.
You’re a racist, first of all. You saying ‘honky’ is like someone using the ‘n word.’ It’s the hate, and intention behind a word that matters.
There are more whites on welfare b/c there are more whites in the US…idiot. You have to look at it in a proportion/per capita manner. Have you tried that? Do you even know how to do that? In terms of violent crimes, young Black men commit about 80% of them in our nation (mostly from the cities), so you need not use the per capita method on that one. Look it up on the US Justice Dept’s website. Oh, and remember many, many violent crimes are not solved, so that could alter the number in a negative way if all those crimes were actually solved.
Get an education homie.

UMlaw:

How come you didn’t comment at all on the story about the US Justice Departments problem with reporting accurate facts about blacks on here a few weeks back???? You were noticeably absent from that particular blog. Yet you still want to reference them when commenting about blacks/arrests! What is the deal with you? You have stated many times that you deal with facts only so how can you ignore the truth about the justice department and blacks and still quote lies about blacks? Once again you need to do the research on this subject then comment.
