called in the National Guard to assist the police department. Access downtown remained limited. Amid the unrest, Chicago recorded 18 homicides, marking the single most violent day in the city in six decades.
Anti-police demonstrations were ramping up across the country, but Brown insisted he "had not seen any reason for concern leading into that weekend," according to Ferguson’s report. And Mayor Lori Lightfoot said she didn’t assume there was "potential for peaceful protests to turn violent." COPA’s report quotes the officers as saying the protests were "hostile" and "insane," like a scene "from a bad movie." The agency said it found some of the officers used excessive force, made improper arrests and failed to turn on their body cameras.
A protester interviewed during the investigation said he was pinned between two officers when another officer hit him in the groin with a bike. The protester responded by putting his arms out in defense when another officer pushed him to the ground and began to beat him with a baton, he told COPA. Another protestor was quoted saying he witnessed several officers strike his friend in the head with a baton before shouting to stop resisting.
Another officer on a bike team said he was instructed that mass arrest procedures and paperwork were already in effect.
George Floyd is exactly where he belongs. Those Protestors where all river rats.
Sounds like a big benefit is coming for those officer's so they and their families don't miss a beat
Next time put COPA in the riot gear. Let’s see how that works out
DeFund COPA!!!
I think you misspelled RIOTS. Fixed it for you.
Cause the protesters were very peaceful. Lol
COPA? Really? These people are real? We’ll a made up charge from 2 YEARS from a community bitch group should really help with police relations and morale!! 🖕🏻🖕🏻
They should just suspend all the cops in Chicago and just let lawlessness take over.
COPA is full of incompetent handpicked police haters. Members of COPA need to go stand frontline with these police officers and get pelted with ice bottles and other dangerous objects.
We all know COPA really stands for Cunts Only Pushing Agendas
Yet, every 'peaceful protest' that assaulted and battered an officer gets to walk free. Very easy to punish the people that aren't able to defend themselves anymore or able to respond with the appropriate use of force because the offender becomes a victim with a payday. Pathetic.
🖕🏽 COPA
Chicago_Police this shows just how much COPA, ChiefDavidBrown & your boss LoriLightfoot cares about your backup. It’s disgusting. No need to scream OFFICER DOWN, OFFICER DOWN, OFFICER DOWN, SEND BACKUP, SEND BACKUP because the officers who could’ve responded will be suspended.
Holy crap I cannot believe these people go away COPA
