Residents of the 33rd Ward, social justice groups and local officials demanded an outside investigation into Chicago police officers with ties to the Oath Keepers extremist group two months after CPD officials chose not to discipline them after what the groups called an “inadequate” investigation.
At a news conference outside Horner Park fieldhouse Saturday afternoon, local residents and members of the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression called on the city’s inspector general to investigate the officers named in the probe— including Officer Alberto Retamozo, who is assigned to the 17th District, which covers parts of Albany Park and Irving Park.
“We need the inspector general to open an investigation into this matter to ensure the investigation is handled with integrity,” said Grace Pacino, a member of the alliance. “It’s a failure on [CPD’s] part to act in good faith. … We can’t allow this.”
Paulina Vaca, a resident of the 33rd Ward, read a statement from Ald. Rossana Rodriguez in which the alderperson, who represents the ward on the City Council, mirrored the groups’ demand for a renewed investigation.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Just in time for the DNC convention.
Radical Colors of course.
The headline should read “Activist groups seek new probe into Chicago cops’ ties to their 1st Amendment Rights!”
As if there is a problem with law enforcement officers taking their oaths to uphold the law seriously.
Assuming this leftist propaganda is (at least partially) true, why not just admit it and say: “YES, we belong to Oathkeepers. So what?”
They are still smarting from the Rittenhouse verdict.
2021: (CAARPR protest) CHICAGO — More than 1,000 people demonstrated Saturday to protest the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, rallying in Federal Plaza before marching throughout Downtown.
Jazmine Salas, an organizer with Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, said the protest was about showing demonstrators would not give in “to the racism and fear.”
“I think we’re in this moment where vigilantes are feeling very empowered. Their poster child Kyle just got off,” Salas said. “But I think as Chicagoans, as a majority Black and Brown city, we are extremely powerful. … Today it’s about really showing our power, not backing down.”
What do they mean by “extremist group”?
Are BLM and LGBT extremist groups, and if not, please explain why.
Far Left CBS 2 is making this their lead story every night - the dim-wit Blonde news reader has her super serious face on when reading the teleprompter.
We can’t have Sunday School Teachers running around helping people. Sheez
Only in Democrat held territory is keeping an oath considered a bad thing.
Sounds kind McCarthyist if you ask me.
Aren’t we all ashamed of how people were blacklisted and lost jobs/work because they were tied to political activist groups?
I THOUGHT that was the lesson we were forced to learn. When the shoe was on the other foot.
Get Juicie Smollet for security.
Soooo those who take the oath to support and defend the Constitution are “extremists.”
Chicago is s real life shooter video game and these a-holes are worried about who might be some of the cops friend’s list.
