Down to the Wire: Obama’s DOJ Issues Scathing Report on Systemic Abuse Within Chicago Police

'Residents of communities afflicted by police abuse point out that the consent decrees are not a panacea: individual officers are not held to account, and consent decrees don’t create sufficient avenues for community oversight and real accountability. '

'As it did in Baltimore, the DOJ found that the Chicago Police Department — which, with 12,000 officers, is the country’s second largest police department, after the NYPD — regularly engaged in a pattern of abuse, excessive force, and racial discrimination. '

'He referred to the growing movement for police accountability a “war on police.”Sen. '
