Policing the Police
Our client Locke Bowman, Legal Director of the MacArthur Justice Center at Northwestern University, rues the latest step backward in the leadership of the Chicago Police Department in his commentary on Huffington Post.
The recycling of Terry Hilliard as Police Chief for the remainder of the current Mayor’s term entrusts the city’s cops to the stewardship of a man who let an internationally condemned torture to escape justice. Now, as Locke explains, it’s up to the next mayor to appoint a successor willing to challenge the circle-the-wagons culture of one of the country’s largest police forces.
