Jon Burge

In light of recent events involving systematic brutality faced by POC concerning law enforcement, this week's episode covers former Chicago Police Commander Jon Burge. Burge supervised the mental and physical torture of over a hundred of criminal suspects, resulting in a plethora of wrongful convictions between the 1970's and 1990's. We look back at how the misdeeds of Burge and his officers contributed to a prevailing aura of distrust within minority communities towards the Chicago Police Department.
