Chicago Police Torture Update : Former Chicago police Cmdr. Jon Burge released from halfway house

The Chicago Tribune reports:

Former Chicago police commander Jon Burge has been released from a Florida halfway house after 4 ½ years in federal custody for lying about the torture of suspects.


Darlene Tyler, the residential re-entry manager at the federal facility in Orlando, says Burge was released Friday, a day early, because his scheduled release date fell on a weekend.

More than 100 people have accused Burge and officers under his command of shocking, suffocating and beating them into giving false confessions in the 1970s and 1980s.

The great moments of racial harmony in the Democrat party.
