Homan Square: How Chicago Police disappeared 7000 people.

[Betty]

How I learned about this series, done by The Guardian on Homan Square in Chicago was from Catherine Austin Fitts website.

The series about Homan Square is about people disappearing. The Square has been described as a "Domestic rendition camp"
The comment was made that this is what happens when "Feds take over for local police"

(I'm sorry I don't understand how to put pictures in these posts)

These are a few of the headlines from this series:

"Chicago police detained thousands of black Americans at interrogation facility"

"Homan Square detainee: I was sexually abused by police at Chicago 'black site'"

"Angel Perez: unarmed and unassuming before alleged Homan Square assault"

"Homan Square: US congressman calls for inquiry into 'shocking' detentions"

"Homan Square allegations 'troubling', says Emanuel's challenger for mayor"

I have made two computer guys several hundreds of dollars richer for "fixing?" my crashed computer. Also, I am cuddling my well fed cat "tiger" who is spoiled rotten by me and I am sending out waves of love to all the animal life on this earth as a result.

I cannot imagine what satisfaction these evil doers get by torturing innocent people. There is something dreadfully wrong with Testosterone Maniacs inhabiting the male body. It is responsible for seemingly all the evils on this planet.

The thread you link to, Wake-Up Avalon.... (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?86134-Wake-Up-Avalon....), is (to quote its opening post, and as its title suggests) "about so much more than what the Chacago Police are doing to the minorities in that single town." It just happens to use the Homan square detentions and disappearances as a starting point.

This new, present thread is focused on the Homan square detentions and disappearances.

So I'd rather not merge, despite the origins in a common news story of the two threads.

looks like that was added about a day after I read the thread :P I just remembered it was originally about the OP of this thread... Its a topic worthy of discussion, not sure why I was playing wanabemoderator.

At least 3,500 Americans have been detained inside a Chicago police warehouse described by some of its arrestees as a secretive interrogation facility, newly uncovered records reveal.

Of the thousands held in the facility known as Homan Square over a decade, 82% were black. Only three received documented visits from an attorney, according to a cache of documents obtained when the Guardian sued the police.

Despite repeated denials from the Chicago police department that the warehouse is a secretive, off-the-books anomaly, the Homan Square files begin to show how the city’s most vulnerable people get lost in its criminal justice system.

People held at Homan Square have been subsequently charged with everything from “drinking alcohol on the public way” to murder. But the scale of the detentions – and the racial disparity therein – raises the prospect of major civil-rights violations.

Documents indicate the detainees are a group of disproportionately minority citizens, many accused of low-level drug crimes, faced with incriminating themselves before their arrests appeared in a booking system by which their families and attorneys might find them.

The Chicago police department has maintained – even as the Guardian reported stories of people being shackled and held for hours or even days, all without legal access – that the warehouse is not a secret facility so much as an undercover police base operating in plain sight. “There are always records of anyone who is arrested by CPD, and this is no different at Homan Square,” the police asserted in a March statement.

Thank you, Paul. I, for one, would never have seen this very interesting subject had it been placed in the other thread.

An updated report has found that more than 7,000 people have been detained, “disappeared,”
or denied legal counsel and basic constitutional rights by the Chicago Police Department at an

Guardian: Chicago Police Detain, Interrogate Americans at 'Black Site'
.

Published on 1 Mar 2015

Last week, the Guardian published an explosive report describing what
some are calling a 'black site' used by Chicago police right here in the
United States. Is this an exaggeration or are people truly 'disappeared'
using gestapo-like tactics?

Yet another new Homan Square related thread: Secret CIA Black Sites In American Heartland For 'Disappearing' Citizens (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?86580-Secret-CIA-Black-Sites-In-American-Heartland-For-Disappearing-Citizens).

It has been pointed out inner cities are violent places
and when children are targeted it has definitely gone
over the invisible line of any human whatever the
provocation. Children have been caught is crossfire
or by tragic mistake , but to deliberately lure a child
to his death is sick !! This does not justify Homan
square, but does need some sort of change in culture.
I don't know how ? but even cowards should have
limits to their depravity.

Tyshawn Lee was lured from a park into an alley and
shot several times in a crime that police are calling
