One key issue here is that this position - "We'll just have to sit tight and get through it, it's just four years, we've made it through four years of Trump before!" - has dominated the thinking among European political and diplomatic elites and has largely prevented a more serious preparation.

A história do Neil Gaiman foi revelada por uma TERF. A intenção dela era revelar pessoas trans, que eram aliadas de Gaiman, como passadoras de pano pra abusador. As pessoas trans defenestraram Neil Gaiman imediatamente, sem pensar meia vez. Agora a TERF está chateada que não deu certo.

one of the officers, michael donnelly, was also accused of attacking & threatening a protester in 2020. his case, like the bulk of misconduct complaints from protesters in 2020, didn’t lead to any findings against him. reporting from @invisible.institute: chicagoreader.com/news/police-...

PO Michael Donnelly #13784, 36 years old

Current status: 18th District
Last assignment: 18th District
Tenure: 11 years

Michael Donnelly was stripped of his police powers days after he was captured on video in River North beating a man in the face, pushing the barrel of his gun against the man's head while several officers held him down, and yelling "I'm gonna fucking shoot you. You're gonna get fucking shot." Donnelly was previously involved in at least two wrong raids, including the home of Anjanette Young. As of July, Donnelly was the subject of 19 open misconduct investigations. His current duties in the 18th District are unclear.

But the bulk of complaints from protesters, especially those that lacked definitive video evidence, did not lead to findings against officers. Erin White was at the protests downtown on May 30, 2020, when she says she witnessed officers grab a young Black woman from a group, drag her, and beat her on the ground until her skull bled. "It was the most disturbing thing," says White. One officer in particular stood out to White because he had also hit and spit on her.

White's friend Rachel Dickson was at the protest, too, calling it the "most violent protest I've ever seen." Police "pushed me down, grabbed me, and it just felt really violent and horrible," she says. More than a year later, in July 2021, she decided to file a complaint online, naming Michael Donnelly as the officer who assaulted and threatened to arrest her.

While giving her in-person statement to investigators, Dickson showed them photos and video from the protest. She says her video didn't show the attack, but she used it to point out which officers were violent with her and others. Dickson also pointed COPA to White as a witness.

After White told COPA what she saw and experienced, she says officials asked if she had any video of the encounter. White told them she didn't but could recognize the officers' faces. She is frustrated that the process seemed to require that she alone provide all the evidence.

It seemed to Dickson that the COPA officials she spoke with knew the officer in her video was a problem. "It sounded like maybe he had complaints before," she says. (Donnelly was one of the officers involved in the wrongful raid on Anjanette Young in 2019.)

Dickson says that in the first two months after initiating her complaint, COPA investigators contacted witnesses and brought her in to take a statement. After that, she received two emails in 2022 and 2023 each telling her the complaint was still under investigation. Then, last year, Dickson received a letter saying her case was closed, without naming any specific officers. Documents don't show any discipline against officers in her case.

According to COPA's records, Dickson's case was administratively closed on July 17, 2023, almost two years after she filed it, due to its "Timeliness Initiative" meant to clear its backlog of cases. According to the initiative, cases older than 18 months that lack certain allegations-such as dishonesty, domestic violence, sexual misconduct, unjustified uses of deadly force, unjustified uses of excessive force resulting in an injury-would be closed.
The agency started the initiative because discipline was consistently overturned in arbitration for older cases, COPA chief administrator Andrea Kersten has said. COPA did not respond to specific questions about this case or its Timeliness Initiative.
