Police Are Bad

But don't look over at the CPS / CTU:

• More than 700 employees of Chicago Public Schools were found to have engaged in some form of misconduct within a single year, an analysis of district records shows. 

  Over the course of four months, WTTW News obtained records that provide a detailed look at how CPS disciplined employees in cases investigated by district staff, outside agencies or the CPS Office of Inspector General.

  Between Jan. 3, 2025, and Jan. 6, 2026, Chicago Public Schools sustained misconduct allegations against more than 700 employees, with most cases involving routine workplace violations and dozens involving more serious allegations, including harassment, discrimination and fraud, records show. Among the most serious offenses, 10 employees resigned or were fired after facing allegations of sexual abuse involving a student, and almost two dozen cases overall involved allegations of sexual misconduct or discrimination. 

It sure would be interesting to compare those numbers against other City departments, even on a per capita basis. Sure, there would be a lot of low level, SPAR sustained stuff for uniform infractions, court deviations and procedural errors, but we highly doubt any other department would come close to the chomos that CPS covers up for.
