Watch the Watchers: LAPD officer database

Super curious why so many of the photos are missing. Something tells me LAPD's going to scrutinize the release of their photos going forward after that release.

If you try to request photos of police in Chicago, they claim to have some wild esoteric process to get the photo such that if you request any more than 5 photos, they'll deny the request it unduly burdensome because of the way to access those photos. It's... doubtful.. that that's actually the case since their badge system has photos and they just need to pull from there, but... it's tricky is all I'll say.

They have an email on their about page that you can reach them at and ask for the records.

In a similar vein: a site that tracks NYPD misconduct reports[1].

Chicago is a wild case.

I have a buddy on the south side who is part of a number of local political action groups which meet at local churches and are organized by alderman.

The city is run by the mob. If people try to pull the curtain aside to expose it, they disappear. Yeah yeah, hearsay. But this is a friend of mine I trust being told directly by alderman.

I have wondered for a while why Lightfoot has taken positions on issues diametrically opposed to, like, her whole career prior.
