Chicago groups sue to bar federal agents from protest duties
Read full article: Chicago groups sue to bar federal agents from protest dutiesAislinn Pulley, a founding member of Black Lives Matter in Chicago, speaks at a rally on Federal Plaza Thursday, July 23, 2020, after a collection of Chicago activists groups announced they are filing a federal lawsuit against the Chicago Police Department, Fraternal Order of Police, and the federal government, in Chicago. The announcement did little to calm some Chicago residents fear that the agents presence will lead to the violent clashes between demonstrators and federal agents seen in Portland. The suit filed by Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum accuses federal agents of arresting protesters without probable cause, whisking them away in unmarked cars and using excessive force. The suit referenced Trump's comments Wednesday blaming a push to defund, dismantle and dissolve police departments for violent crime along with the president's past support for federal agents' presence in Portland. Neither the President, Defendant Barr, nor Defendant Wolf gave any assurance that the hundreds of federal agents flooding Chicago would leave protestors alone, the activists' lawsuit said.

Read full article: Cops in misconduct cases stay on force through arbitrationArbitration inherently undermines police decisions, said Michael Gennaco, a police reform expert and former federal civil rights prosecutor who specialized in police misconduct cases.

San Antonio TV station KSAT found that two-thirds of fired officers had gotten their jobs back since 2010. No state or federal agency tracks arbitration outcomes, but media investigations have documented hundreds of officers who returned to work after being fired. A Washington Post report documented 1,881 officers who were fired between 2006 and 2016, and 451 got their jobs back through arbitration.
