Topic: Police Brutality
The Chicago City Council is proposing a $5.5 million reparations package for victims of torture by former Chicago Police Commander Jon Burge. Burge has been accused by more than 100 people of using torture. Victims have described being beaten with phone books, being shocked with cattle prods, and being suffocated with bags until they gave false confessions. Jon Burge's reign of brutality lasted for nearly two decades, ending in 1991. He was fired from the police department in 1993.
