Chicago Police Dismissed a Recruit’s Claims That a Colleague Sexually Assaulted Her. Then He was Accused Again and Again.
The Invisible Institute and ProPublica reviewed over 300 complaints accusing Chicago officers of sexual assault and misconduct.
Time and time again, the police department downplayed or ignored claims, enabling officers to become repeat offenders.

I’m afraid this is going to be the new “normal” in America.
Fight it, and fight it hard, remove #Trump with all means or get used to it.
Justice is gone in America, prepare for the worst.

@ericschutte no.
Trump isn't in charge of the Chicago police department, and too often folks are distracted by drama surrounding Trump so the ones actually responsible escape accountability.
By design the presidency is a relatively minor part of the US. Unfortunately, presidents get to serve as distractions while real perps get away with it.
@volkris @ericschutte @ProPublica As an old saying goes, “the mountains are high, and the Emperor is far away”.
No. Because in this case there is no emperor.
It doesn't matter how high the mountains may or may not be, there is no emperor, it's just not relevant.
The locals run themselves. They can run themselves however they want to. Imagined emperors are distractions from holding local officials accountable for doing the right thing.
@volkris @enoch_exe_inc @ericschutte @ProPublica It’s a saying that means one of several things: that local governments have autonomy; that officials of said local governments are corrupt; or that as such, corruption offences committed by said officials are often overlooked.
It’s an ancient Chinese proverb that I might have messed up the translation of, but my point still stands and actually agrees with yours.
@enoch_exe_inc I honestly have no idea what your point is now.
Care to shed some light?
@volkris @enoch_exe_inc @ericschutte @ProPublica Whether or not there is an emperor here is irrelevant; the highest government in the land is high up above and far away from the lower levels of government. I’m quoting a proverb to agree with you.
@enoch_exe_inc I still don't see why it's relevant. This police force is not under the jurisdiction of that government.
It's not the highest government in the land with regard to this force. It has as much say in this as what a British person is going to eat for dinner.
@volkris @enoch_exe_inc @ericschutte @ProPublica Fine, then go look up the meaning of the proverb and come to your own conclusions.
