CTU Pattern of Using Kids in Violent Protests Should be Investigated ... GoodKidsMadCity ... we now have the video of Miracle being sucker punched by CPD! You need to #DefundCPD now! @chicagosmayor
You’ve got to love city council. On the one hand they approve millions in police misconduct settlements aka police violence and then on the other hand vote down an expanded police oversight referendum. It’s almost like the police run this city.. Anyway #DefundCPD
Community care like this needs to be funded.
Like what if we had the 1.something BILLION & it actually went to community care?
You know we would feed, house, clothe, provide, & bring joy with that money.
Instead it goes to murdering & terrorizing folks.
#DefundCPD
Chicago is in billion $ deficit for the upcoming 2025 budget. CPD’s operations budget is at $1.9 billion dollars, they’ve spent an extra $75 million in overtime & settlements. Ion know how much $ was wasted on the DNC. Bottom line #DefundCPD & then #AbolishThePolice period!
Today a jury awarded Marcel Brown $50 million in his suit against the Chicago PD, the largest award in U.S. history for a single wrongful conviction plaintiff. (Marcel seen here with attorneys Locke Bowman and Jon Loevy of Loevy Loevy, the rest of his team, and his supporters.)
ALT Marcel Brown, a 34-year-old black man in a blue suit, stands at a press conference surrounded by attorneys and supporters.
Chicago Police knock near 80yo woman to ground w/their batons; don’t let her pick up her cane & refuse to help her up. It perfectly captures the truth of CPD at DNC.
If this is how CPD “protects & serves” old ladies in broad daylight—now you can better understand CPD’s violent repression at night #DNC#FreePalestine
#Chicago has been a police State but thanks to the #DNC2024CHICAGO more cops are here by the hundreds of thousands! They will try to silence the fact that CPD killed 16y/o Alex Angel Cortez! They’l criminalize & try to justify murdering him! #DefundCPDabc7chicago.com/post/chicago…
JUST IN: A Chicago police officer was sidelined after body camera footage revealed he choked a handcuffed boy in the throes of a mental health crisis earlier this summer.

As long as we continue to prioritize the needs of the police department over the needs of our communities, we will continue to defund vital public goods and services that actually keep us safe.
#DefundCPD
I support #DefundCPD because CPD’s massive budget defunds everything else that actually helps our communities.
Want more @chicagoacc workers? Nope! Cops want more $
How about protected bike lanes? No way! Cops want more $
More air quality regulators? Nahh! Cops want more $
I found this loving pup today and brought her home, but 311 says @ChicagoACC can’t pick her up for TWO WEEKS.
That’s disgraceful, but this is what happens when we defund all our city’s public agencies to feed our bloated $2 BILLION police budget.
We deserve better
#DefundCPD
Justice for Lorenzo Williams Jr! 18th district CPD beat him up to the point he needed to be hospitalized! CPD is a gang that needs to be defunded and abolished! All the pigs who jumped him need to be fired now!
#DefundCPD
Today we joined #DexterReed’s family to demand justice! .@ChicagosMayor needs to immediately #DefundCPD fire the 5 cops who executed Dexter, eliminate traffic stops/racial profiling/stop & frisk, eliminate tactical units aka jump out boys & hold CPD accountable!
Hmm looks real familiar. Like frfr ain’t this the same strategy they trying to pull against #CopsOutCPS ??
So when the BOE voted to make CPS #PoliceFreeSchool s, the State is trying to reverse it by saying the LSC should be able to have a contract with CPD!
#DefundCPD & abolish!
And this is still our belief that we have to #DefundCPD & #AbolishPolice period. Police nor the unjust consequence & threat of prison didn’t prevent this shooting! 6 men were very publicly convicted of killing a Man Downtown & these shooters took two lives with no regard to that!
Cops ain’t gotta kill or brutalize you to cause harm. They’re inherently violent just by doing their job to arrest, fine & incarcerate the poor. Here’s more proof of their violence. CPD kicked housless people out into the bitter cold! #Fuck12#DefundCPDcbsnews.com/amp/chicago/news…
We must continue to work to transform our city and world and that requires us to divest from policing and militarism as we push for new community investments. BOTH are a requirement. #DefundCPD
