CHICAGO, April 13 (UPI) -- The Chicago Police Department has an institutional racism that has led to the mistreatment of people and an evaporation of public trust, a task force has found.
The Police Accountability Task Force, appointed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, slammed the city's police in the report issued Wednesday. Using a mountain of statistical analysis, the report strengthened decades of complaints by African-Americans that they have been routinely harassed by police because of race.
