    Lol remember when the Chicago police department was confronted with the fact they have, and have had, and still have, a black bag, gitmo style, off the books interrogation and torture site for decades

    No?

    Just me? Ok

      Now, is that the same Chicago PD that assassinated Fred Hampton with at least 90 rounds of indiscriminate gunfire through a wall where they knew he was lying unconscious after having him drugged?

      My memory is a little foggy. Is it that bunch of coward pigs pictured below, smiling as they carry Fred Hampton's [image CW: corpse]?

        In the people's republic of Northern Illinois the penalty for attempting to feed school kids a free breakfast is state sanctioned murder

        Everything about the story reminds me of how the original version of the little mermaid takes pains to specify every step Ariel takes on land to her feels like she is walking on broken glass.

        But one of the pieces of glass that sticks in my metaphorical foot is the middle class kid, O'Neal, I originally assumed must have been an undercover police officer that sold Huey down the river and drugged him. Every few years I'll pull up some Malcolm speeches or even King and I cannot imagine living around any of that and having none of it soak in on some level. It is easy to hate him for the unspeakable crime he committed, sure. And I would find it impossible to not do so.

        You just read the interview with him and it's so sad how much he must have suffered before he eventually killed himself, slowly understanding just how bad the result of just doing what the FBI told him to do to avoid getting charged with whatever dumb petty crime they swept him up in was.
