Your guess is as good as mine, man.

But -- I saw the video, I saw the cop's face, I saw his partner's face, and the faces of the cops who were also dispatched, I saw the reports, I've seen the dispatch data, I've seen the assignment sheets, I've seen the car number, the GPS logs, etc etc. It should have been easy, but...

Mind you, the only reason we have these docs is because a FOIA lawsuit that required their release, among about a hundred thousand other complaints, while the city's FOP was pushing to destroy those documents.

You’ve seen a lot of things. So can you provide sources for any of these things? Most importantly, where did this happen and when?
I'm a reporter who works very specifically on policing and jailing in Chicago, and have spent years FOIAing these documents, and thousands of hours reading through them, and just as many in SQL/python. It hurts to the core reading it all. If you want me to share my reporting around these issues, I'm more than happy to. If you don't trust my reporting, I can share other reporters'.

It happened in Chicago outside of someone's home after the mom called the cops on her son. Her mom was the person who filed the complaint.

These stories are everywhere. https://cpdp.co is a good place to start looking.
