Chicago police won't discipline 9 officers tied to Oath Keepers extremist group

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.

The FBI Counterterrorism Unit tried to warn us about this back in 2006.

Pan_Ziemniak,

Promptly shove your tankie buzz-words and molotov sippy-cup up your ass, you holier-than-thou bitch-made invertebrate.

Pan_Ziemniak,

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.

rockSlayer,

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

Potatos_are_not_friends,

But if you remove them from the force… Who will be left to do bad shit?

Sam_Bass,

Just out them publicly then

DigitalTraveler42,

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.

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses.

ACAB 1312

bruhbeans,

Fun fact: Chicago’s original telephone area code was 312, so with +1 country code, it’s 1312.

Bluefalcon,

Besides being racist, they were robbing and brutalizing people. Wish we could have found any sign of them being shitty.

1800doctorb,

Sigh. The ol “We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.”
