As a result of the probe, the city and the Justice Department, which began investigating the CPD in December 2015, have agreed to negotiate a reform plan that would be overseen by a federal judge, Lynch said in Chicago.

Chicago police officers' use of excessive force, she said, stemmed in large part from what the Justice Department found were severely insufficient training and accountability procedures -- including failing to train officers to de-escalate situations.

I'm guessing the complaints against CPD plummeted in 2016.

• Shot at fleeing suspects who presented no immediate threat
• Shot at vehicles without justification
• Used less-lethal force, including Tasers, against people who posed no threat
• Used force to retaliate against and punish people
• Used excessive force against juveniles

Not excusing anything above, but does anyone else feel... less than great about third parties determining whether or not a threat was posed in a situation they were nowhere near.

(Obvious exclusion is people running away)

McCarthy was on Roe yesterday. Gave an interesting stat. 29 officer involved shooting out of 4006 shootings city wide.

They took the year off. I didn't hear anyone say the murder numbers were being manipulated last year.

Okay, I'll ask ... what makes it "interesting"?

All this focus on the CPD and its failings when .they represent a minuscule part of the shit that is wrong in Chicago

As yes the old if we can't solve the big problems we should ignore the small ones gambit.

Not saying that. I am saying that I think the focus and energy being spent on it is out of proportion to the problem. Where are the marches or press conferences from PUSH or Pfhleger over the kidnapping? With the cops that got gunned down here in Florida this week I have not seen Obama give a press conference on it? Not even that weasel Josh Ernest has said anything about it. They seem to busy giving each other medals and hosting parties as they leave.

I thought one cop was shot in that Orlando manhunt?

By your logic why should Obama give press conference over a few cop shootings, that seems out of proportion to the problem. What's a few cops compared to all the people killed in Chicago on a weekend?

He has given press conferences for one death in the past.
