• A small fraction of Chicago’s police force -- only 130 officers -- account for about a third of all incidents of deadly force, as reported in The Intercept today in “The Chicago Police Files.” These officers repeatedly participate in shootings, some as many as six times, whereas more than 99 percent of the police force will never be involved in any such incident over the course of their careers

 

• Officers with high levels of complaints (at least 10 complaints) generate 64% of all complaints (January 1, 2000 - June 30, 2016 data) on the force. Police officers with the most complaints are less likely to be disciplined.

 

• From 2000 to 2016, only 1.2% of civilian complaints resulted in an officer being suspended or terminated.

• i have felt the malevolent force of this kind of cop, a seething anger and hatred just looking for trouble, i've felt it when i lost my glasses in a pothole riding home, and i felt it when police thugs chased my sister up my back stairs and threatened me. i felt it from that ultra evil psycho cop who ran around harassing people with dogs off leash. these people create chaos and destroy community relations and well being. these sick police make people fear and dread the whole force. and it may be 130 out of thousands, but the system supports them like the catholic church supports sadistic priests.
