Still Beating a Dead Horse

Was anyone really waiting for this?

• Mayor Brandon Johnson promised during his first month in office to “rebuild the social contract” with Black Chicago, beginning with the actual construction of a permanent memorial to former Chicago Police Cmdr. Jon Burge torture victims that was promised in 2015.

  The “social contract” remains a work in progress, but the memorial is finally underway.

Burge was fired thirty-three years ago - there literally isn't a single Officer or Detective working today that served under Burge. Burge himself has been dead for almost eight years. 

But he's still a boogeyman used to manufacture outrage, push all sorts of anti-police rhetoric and fund raise for crooked politicians who can't solve actual problems.
