VIDEO:  "Shielded Brutality" documentary trailer
 
 
This is a trailer for a documentary I've been producing for the past two years. It chronicles a disturbing history of police torture in Chicago, IL, that is all too similar to the abuse in Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib. Sadly, this happened in our back yard for decades and, to date, no one has been held accountable criminally.

This video not only impressed me, but saddens me to an unexpressable degree. I was born and raised in the city of Chicago, and even though I have had no direct contact with CPD, I have become well aware of the discrepencies and inconsistencies of the system through the news and accounts from friends and family members. I am appalled and embarassed to say I had no recollection of these atrocities--even though lawyer Flint Taylor (who served in support of Black Panthers in Chicago bask in the day) is a family friend. I look forward to the release of the full documentary, and touche to everyone who was involved in the making. This is something Chicagoans, on the force and off, and the world needs to see.
