Initiated traffic check points. Took information about motorists who were not breaking any law at the time and entered them into a database. Called invasion of privacy by official of Police Union.
Arrested & detained in a park over 400 demonstrators, not all actual protesters. Court of Appeals ruled violation of fourth Amendment. City fined $1 million. Ramsey’s lawyer go $1.53 Million in fees. Ramsey retired. Came out of retirement as C of P in Philly.
You all can get what you will out of that. I’m asking for some of you to begin researching the other names on this paper. We need to see who will be handing it. Let’s don’t wait until it’s too late to blow the whistle on this project.
Thanks - there were plenty of “community organizers” in there too. And sections where the police need to have more community oversite.
The Susan Rahr I mentioned (talking about how cops have become too militarized) is from Washington State and was head of the Sheriff’s department for many years. She always seemed to come across as a decent cop.
If we manage to survive the next two years everyone who ever resided in Chicago should be removed from government service.
