Precisely what is the purpose of body camera footage if not used exactly in this way? If it looks bad out in public, it’s going to look just as bad in a court room. We can’t even begin to inch towards justice without public accountability. Justice for Anjanette Young!
Just read the filing: Lightfoot lawyers want the woman sanctioned because she allegedly gave the video to a news outlet despite a confidentiality order. So they want to punish her for sharing a video they didn’t want to give her because they feared she’d give it to media.
Unbelievably appalling. Defund CPD and hold Lightfoot accountable to this mess under her watch. COPA is clearly not good enough. How can anyone feel safe at home?
Wow: Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s law department went to court to try and stop @cbschicago from airing video of Chicago police raiding a social worker’s home. She was changing and naked; police refused to give her the video until a judge ordered them to.

my friend sophie got fired from her job at Facebook and turned down a $64,000 severance package in order to leak this, so u better read it. https://t.co/MoveIqUeC0
To summarize. We've got out-of-control wildfires thanks to:
- Rampant carbon pollution
- The systematic suppression of Indigenous knowledge about controlled burns
- Covid ravaging prisons, which limits the number of prisoners available to fight fires for an abusive $1-hr... 1/3

Symbolic firsts are no substitute for substantive gains. We have been celebrating firsts for fifty years but the gains for the few almost never translate into a better life for the many. Check out Lightfoot in Chicago. These celebrations are old and our people are dying. Enough.
