    1. @The Tweatles Sounds like that tiny brain of yours has been fried by all the weed you’ve been smoking…

  1. That woman had to have been terrified. And she had to have been traumatized. She should be compensated by the city of Chicago. Case closed.

    1. @Linda Star “dems hate the truth”? Trumpublicans are divorced from the truth. Whether they like the truth or not Dems at least can recognize it. You lot are in some crazy universe that might make it into a third rate unpublished sci fi novella.

    1. @frictionRx9
      Starting a race war ? It’s been going on for hundreds of years. The original Sin is still alive and thriving in the disunited states of America !!

  2. She is very fortunate she wasn’t shot and killed. I don’t blame her for exposing them like they exposed her and treated her. I saw that video, and felt the fear and shame being assualted while she wasn’t dressed in her own private home.

    1. @BREADED CHICKEN — who do you think has the power to control the department, set regulations and codes of conduct, and fire or hire police officers?
      The chief does. That’s how this works, and it’s the best way to do it – as long as people hold officials accountable. But when inner city communities – including white ones – vote dem non stop for half a century, then they’re going to take those communities for granted.. Why would dems care if they know they’ll get the vote regardless?

    2. @BREADED CHICKEN — yes i am a youtube noob indeed 😂 but i’ve learned a good deal in the past 24 hours lol

  3. All of America is experiencing the I cant breathe moment. We need to feel for our fellow human beings. Police reform should not be a bad word it should be expected in a society that can evolve.

    1. These mouth breathers could have killed her in her own home. the police system in the u.s. was started during the death camp plantation days. Police were only interested in hunting down escaped victims of human trafficking and returning them to the death camp plantations. So it’s not shocking that the police in the u.s. still treat African Americans like this. But, it needs to end.

  4. I am so glad they did not shoot. The trauma she must have to get over if she can.im so sorry for her. Sue girl.

  5. Yes , this poor women was unlawfully violated by this police action and then by these indifferent police officers that treated her like dirt.

    1. @Niccolo Machiavelli — there is a system in place for fixing these things without burning everything down. That’s all i’m saying. If you want it to change, then vote for a party that will put a chief in power that you want.

    2. @Bill Billson Thanks for the support. We are not perfect. We make mistakes. We are but men and women in uniform charged with daily responsibilities that the loudest critics wouldn’t do for one day let alone 25 + years. Because of our titles and uniforms we are ambushed. So we face crowds with watchful eyes never seeing the holiday decorated storefronts. If we dare eat in public its not by a window but in a corner with a view of the door. Sitting parked curbside anymore and you’re constantly scanning and looking in the rear view. We know not what waits around the corner or behind the next door but still we go. Is the Reaper on the other side? We go in expecting the worst, hoping for the best, but always prepared and ready. Police work is not easy. Sometimes it goes bad. Sometimes it ugly. Those times are when its most often the lead story at 6pm or the front page headline. We are dedicated to protecting and serving our communities and in doing so we try to do so to the best of our abilities. We regret when we fail to live up to the very high standards we set for ourselves and the community deserves. For that we do apologize. But be assured we will be there tomorrow to answer your call for help. Be it a lost child, drug dealers on your street, a domestic assault, or drive by shooting. We will come no matter the violence, no matter the risk, no matter the fear, no matter the likelihood it will be our last act of selfless sacrifice.

    3. @Mark Stephenson — no need for thanks mark or for you to change any of your daily habits. This country supports you, and the leftists candidates that pushed the defund the police agenda just got wiped out at the ballot box in November. The country and the people are behind you, and the communities support you. Don’t worry about these folks here, as you can see they’ve had a hard enough time cobbling together complete sentences as it is. You take it easy and thanks for protecting our communities. I’ll deal with the people here, it takes about 2-3 seconds to undo their hypocrisy and then they’re back to normal for about a day or so.

    1. What do you mean by that comment?😈. What did she do for you to hate on her? Am I missing something on this case.?

    2. @Princess Espinoza — the op’s comment is not insulting her, he is saying that police view people as dogs.

      Of course that’s moronic and silly, but that’s what he is trying to say.

  6. Chicago police don’t allow anonymous complaints because then they don’t know who to retaliate against.
    But the same cops bust down the wrong door all the time based on an anonymous complaint.
