Twelve Chicago police officers have been given suspension notices for melees with protesters after the 2020 murder of George Floyd.
During the mayhem in Chicago after the murder of George Floyd, some Chicago cops abused their police powers during the unrest, according to a newly released investigation report by COPA, the department's civilian oversight agency. A dozen officers received suspension notifications, some for as long as six months.It was after 8 p.m. on May 31, 2020 when some CPD officers were seen smacking Gabriel Chinchilla and John Fix with their batons.
More than two years later, no criminal charges have been filed. CPD has given suspension notifications to five officers directly involved in the Chinchlla and Fix cases, including 180 day suspensions for Evidence Technician Richard Bankus and Officer Reginald Foster. One officer resigned while COPA was investigating the incident.
Seven other officers who were part of the police response to the May 2020 protest also received suspension notifications for reasons including excessive force, improper detentions, not activating body worn cameras, failing to report or intervene in misconduct, and not filing required paperwork. A deputy chief retired before COPA could interview him about his involvement.
