Chicago's Racist Cops and Racist Courts
Summary
Not only is Chicago's police system corrupt but so are their federal district courts. spoke in overtly racist ways in court, mocked defendant’s black-sounding names or used bastardized Ebonics to imitate the voices of defendants, families and victims." When the police file their reports after an arrest including drugs, the phrases "fell out of their pocket" as the defendant "fled on foot" were common sayings that appeared. It became obvious that the police violated the 4th Amendment and judges felt no concern what so ever on this matter. |

Analysis
All of these criminal cases have reason to be brought up to appellate courts as judges are not upholding the Constitution. The judges are aware of police perjury in Chicago as well, "In my interviews with judges and prosecutors, they willingly admitted that police perjury was part of the culture of the court system in Cook County. Twenty of the 27 judges I interviewed said that police perjury occurred, six did not directly respond, and only one said that it did not occur." If judges are aware of the injustices occurring in the city, why do they stand by and let it happen? |
