Chicago Police Department leaders said Thursday they have decided not to punish any officers whose names appeared on the leaked membership list of the Oath Keepers, an anti-government extremist group that played a key role in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.
“The investigation is closed and the allegations were not sustained,” a spokeswoman for the CPD said in a statement, declining to provide any documents from the internal probe.
The brief statement stood in stark contrast to Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling’s zero-tolerance vow to the City Council in October, after WBEZ and the Chicago Sun-Times revealed the misconduct records of cops with ties to the Oath Keepers.
A white terrorist group filled with members of a white terrorist group? Truly shocking!
“There are very fine people on both sides.”
Why did you leave out the first part of the quote?
you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides.
Because the unite the right march was explicitly about white supremacism? You think there were some “very fine people” marching around and chanting, “Jews will not replace us”?
Spoiler: there weren’t.
I’ve never seen footage of a group of Nazis marching around and thought, “I bet some of those dudes are actually pretty alright.” That’s also not something I want my presidents thinking.
That quote is from Trump, not me. It doesn’t matter what I think. That’s the actual full quote.
I typed it from memory. Thank you for the correction. We still agree that white supremacists are not “very fine,” right?
Because any good people in the group would’ve noticed the swastika flags and decided to do something else that evening or ideally joined the counter protests.
I’ve been a counterprotestor before, you generally know who’s on your side and what it looks like on your walk there. You have time to see who’s with you.
It wasn’t like it was a handful of Nazis and a lot of people who just wanted lower taxes. It was a night that culminated in a large mass of men chanting that Jews will not replace them as they carried torches and many carried swastika flags. There may have been bad people on both sides, but only one side had good people, the other had too many Nazis to have any good people.
I don’t see how that justifies misquoting a person. If you’re going to criticize someone for what they said then for the very least criticize them for what they actually said rather than editorializing it and then critiquing that misrepresentation.
Of course the department won’t, they don’t want to set the dangerous precedent of holding their fellow pigs accountable
Police unions are a cancer
But if you remove them from the force… Who will be left to do bad shit?
Sigh. The ol “We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.”
Ahh yes, my go to point anytime the discussion of the defunding the class traitors comes up.
Promptly shove your tankie buzz-words and molotov sippy-cup up your ass, you holier-than-thou bitch-made invertebrate.
Maybe go thru my comment history before calling me a tankie, amigo.
Ive spent my entire time on this platform going after the russian/chinese talking points from those trying to disengage the American populace from their politics. Literally picked up a ban on worldnews.ml my first or second day over it.
Dont blame u for being, shall we say, “trigger-happy” with the word given the sheer amount on here, but i assure you, calling someone cops class-traitors is not their hallmark.
Same as it ever was? (Same as it ever was.)
You might find yourself living in a fascist police state
Chicago Police Department: To protect and serve bad apples?
Fucking cowards. Protect and serve these nuts, cunts.
ACAB
They should be kicked off the force, but this is more in line with how police operate.
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses.
Besides being racist, they were robbing and brutalizing people. Wish we could have found any sign of them being shitty.
Some of those that work forces and all that
sounds legit

Fun fact: Chicago’s original telephone area code was 312, so with +1 country code, it’s 1312.
Love how not just this cop but all black cops carry water for white supremacy. Sure law enforcement needs to be done, but they don’t need racists, homo/transphobes, antisemites/islamophobes, ideological nationalists, or any other extremist piece of shit in their ranks, shit just further erodes public trust, just like this cop’s statement and stance does.
If the US military gets rid of them the cops should too, and the US military now does, hence what Tommy Tuberville’s promotion block was all about, because that scumbag wanted to reverse the ban on white supremacists and Nazis in the military because he said they were “patriots” too, fuck that noise.
Cops need need accountability, oversight, and standards, immediately.
Finally, proof that ya’llqaeada is in Chiraq.
Imagine reading this sentence with no context.
