After our investigation, @ChicagoReporter found that a @Chicago_Police lieutenant who joined hateful groups + posted hateful content on @facebook also ...

* Was named in 2 misconduct cases that cost taxpayers $118k.
* Has 70 complaints filed against him. chicagoreporter.com/chicago-lieute…
"Those accusations include: use of force, false arrest, verbal abuse, personnel violations and criminal misconduct. Only one of those complaints was sustained and it was for conduct unbecoming of a police officer while off-duty back in 1994."
.@ChicagoReporter unearthed this info using its "Settling for Misconduct" database, available here: projects.chicagoreporter.com/settlements/of…
And in case you missed it: We found police across the U.S. that were members of extremist groups on @Facebook. revealnews.org/article/inside…

1/ We interviewed dozens of caregivers who are afraid to speak up about labor abuses.

Some said their bosses have threatened to fire them or report them to immigration authorities.

This woman says she fears for her safety.
2/ Wage theft and abuse are rampant in America’s multibillion-dollar senior residential care industry.

While operators get rich, scores of caregivers – many of them poor immigrants – have been pushed into poverty. revealnews.org/article/caregi…
3/ “My experience is like 24 hours, seven days a week … $800.”

1/ A new government report says that migrant adults and children are being held for days and sometimes weeks in overcrowded cells at the border.

It fits into a long pattern of horrific, government-sponsored abuse of migrants.

What we’ve exclusively reported so far …
2/ The government takes children’s x-rays and sends them to a dentist in an effort to reclassify the children as adults and place them in adult detention: revealnews.org/blog/heres-how…
3/ Migrant children held at the Shiloh Treatment Center in Texas were being forcibly injected with psychotropic drugs without their parents’ consent. revealnews.org/episodes/rippe…

"In one exchange, group members responded with indifference and wisecracks to the post of a news story about a 16-year-old Guatemalan migrant who died in May while in custody at a Border Patrol station in Weslaco, Texas." @propublica: propublica.org/article/secret…
@propublica A pattern seems to be emerging.

We found hundreds of active-duty and retired law enforcement officers who are members of Confederate, anti-Islam, misogynistic or anti-government militia groups on @Facebook. revealnews.org/article/inside…
@propublica @facebook If you would like to know whether law enforcement officers in your community have joined these groups, we built an app for that. revealnews.org/article/these-…

1. If you are reporting on @KimFoxxforSA & the resistance that she is getting from police, you MUST realize that DA'S exercising discretion INDEPENDENTLY is a "reform" in #Chicago. Before Foxx, generations of SAs were intimidated by #police.
2. They were taught to NEVER question an officer even if a suspect was dead. They gave"deference" and "respect" of officers, and relinquished their discretion to officers. To question an officer, was a sign of "disrespect." They called it prosecuting with "blinders" on.
3. If a SA did not "step in line" to these rules, police would stop coming for trials & blacklist them in the office. Whistle blowers had cases taken from them and upper management would participate in this. One manager threw an ashtray at a DA when he tried to whistle-blow

Hello Chicago! Police have closed the Dan Ryan expressway in order to make the point that protesters shutting down the freeway is bad.
This of course has made me late for the protest in which nobody will be allowed to shut down the expressway
