Chicago’s massive DNC cop city included over 135 outside police departments Recently obtained contracts between CPD and other Illinois law enforcement agencies illustrate precisely how dissent was crushed at the national political convention.

Today, I wrote about the 1200+ police officers from 135+ different departments the CPD brought in for the DNC to supplement their $2B police force, with @unraveledpress.com.
