Trigger warning. Video of arrestee having a panic attack after she realizes it’s not the real jail.

I don’t think anything actually came from this, did it?

The authorities getting in trouble for abusing authority? Of course nothing came out of it.

(Disclaimer I don’t actually know.)

Nope. Not according to wikipedia, anyway.

Apparently, the people who criticized labelling Homan Square as a “black site” did so on the basis that what was going on there was actually business as usual for the CPD all over Chicago. Ie, it’s a shitton worse than just Homan Square.

It really amuses me that everybody in the US is obsessively frightened at the prospect of an incompetent capitalist nepobaby “bringing fascism to America” while being completely oblivious to all the taxpayer-funded fascism they can literally see stalking the very streets around them.
