The Justice Department has “reasonable cause” to believe Chicago police officers use excessive force, the agency announced Friday.
Announcing the outcome of a Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation first launched in late 2015, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said there was cause to believe the Chicago Police Department “engages in a pattern or practice of using force, including deadly force, in violation of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution.”
“The pattern or practice results from systemic deficiencies in training and accountability, including the failure to train officers in de-escalation and the failure to conduct meaningful investigations of uses of force.

You think ‘the black community’ would prefer having Drug Gangs running the community than Chicago cops? You gotta be kidding me.
What a shock—not.
Our DOJ and the BO administration keeps fanning the flames. Not sure where the tipping point is, but it can not be far away. But that seems to be what BO wants.
No, I think they would prefer cops that actually obeyed the law though.
You can be sure they copied that message 5 by 5, 100% solid.
Loretta Lynch is at it again
In the mid 90’s, chicago street gang members were becoming chicago cops.

It is the law abiding citizens who will suffer in this equation.
Law abiding citizens no longer have a place at the table. They used to be represented by the government. However, lefty governments, with their soft on crime bias, prefer to represent the criminals.
“Systemic”, roughly translated, means: Unsolvable problem that should keep Libs and their cronies, sycophants and henchmen busy till their retirement and death in a cush environment.
I don’t think one can use excessive force in Chicago!!!
“The police are not here to create disorder, they’re here to preserve disorder.”
Isn’t interfering with criminal acts now the official legal definition of police brutality?
I know what reasonable doubt is. I don’t know what reasonable cause.
We talking ‘prudent person standard’?
There are no prudent liberals. That’s unfortunate but true. I live in WA state, West side of the state, and wow.
We took on Chicago and Rham
For the historical record we are blameless self serving assholes
Oh yes we gave joe biden a trophy

I lived on the Southside of Chicago. You’re confusing paid liberal shills with the people who live in the community. Subsidized blacks who do the screaming are bought and paid for by white liberal elites.
My grandfather worked for the real mayor Daley.
I don’t know when it all changed.
you messed with a cop, they sent the whole freakin force into your neighborhood.
When the west side went up in flames when King got shot, the cops\blackstone rangers ( or whatever they were called back then ) made a deal and there was no trouble from the south side.
Born & raised in Chicago - I left in 75 and never looked back.
“You’re confusing paid liberal shills with the people who live in the community.”
I’m not confusing anything. I still live in Chicago, I am speaking from experience, not parroting protestors.
