Chicago police have launched an internal investigation into a series of incendiary posts by a person claiming to be an officer in an online forum regarded as one of the darkest corners of the web.
Many of the posts on 4chan’s /pol/ board are racist and homophobic. They include photos of Chicago police uniforms, a city-issued ID badge and a gun — all covered by post-it notes with the forum’s name and a date written on them.
The person making the posts claimed to be a military veteran and a beat cop who worked in the Rogers Park and Chicago Lawn police districts. Among other things, the user bragged about racially profiling people and being involved in two on-duty shootings.
Like other people on the site, the user is only identified by a serial number.
The forum is widely regarded a hotbed of racism, antisemitism and other extremism. It was used to launch the unfounded QAnon conspiracy theory, which holds that former President Donald Trump is battling a cabal of Democratic pedophiles.
Jennifer Rottner, a spokeswoman for the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, said the agency received a complaint about the posts on Monday and forwarded it to the police department’s Bureau of Internal Affairs.

Kinda helps narrow it down, no?
Or might be intentional to sow further division and distrust. Seems many of the racist and homophobic things (nooses, spray painted slurs) have been determined to be fake.
Jesse Smollet is now a cop ?
This has the taint of a Lorie Lightfoot false flag op all over it.
the user bragged about racially profiling people
Racial profiling is a legitimate and valuable tool.
They’re being played, and this is hilarious. It’s not like they haven’t done this before. 🤣
In my opinion that is the intent. It is a false flag operation or an out right lie. Jesse Smollette strategy comes to mind.
My guess is it's really an Antifa who works at a dry cleaners which happens to have a cop as a customer.
Sounds like a gay, minority, non-cop, writing this...
That’s kind of my take as well. Like one guy said, when you’re in a 100% black neighborhood with lots of drug dealings going on, you racially profile a car full of white teenagers. And rightly so. Profiling is one of the most powerful arrows in the policeman’s quiver.
Man, what a timelessly elegant beauty Ingrid Bergman was.
Way TMI for a “cop” to reveal
Likely a fake account set up to reinforce the ugly stereotypes of big city cops
4chan’s favorite thing is trolling people.
They came up with the okay hand sign being a secret racist sign.
My favorite was removing Shia Labeouf’s camera that people could complain into…
If its 4Chan, it could very likely be some 15 year-old in his parents’ basement. People there are dedicated trolls, with tech savvy as well.
Its funny how some troll might have the Chicago PD and its woke government turning themselves inside-out looking for the “evil-racist.”
Good guess Yeah, why would a cop put a photo of his hand online amongst other things?
My guess is it’s really an Antifa who works at a dry cleaners which happens to have a cop as a customer.

That theory totally fits. Why the plastic-wrapped uniform otherwise.
could be some mutt at the dry cleaners too
