Our wonderful "justice" system!

"Former police officer Jon Burge was sentenced to 54 months in prison today for obstruction of justice and perjury, in what his critics and supporters all describe as the closure of a saga that has come to symbolize police-community relations and race relations on Chicago’s South Side."

He tortured young men into to admitting to crimes they didn't commit. Hundreds of them sit in prison today because of his misconduct, but the legal recourse for the people he put into prison is woefully limited. Any conviction that he had any hand in should be immediately overturned, and his victims should be compensated. His 4.5 year sentence for his crimes isn't justice, since many of his victims are spending life behind bars.

He is a prime example of why you should NEVER trust the police.
