Meanwhile, in Chicago, a trove of newly released data about the Chicago Police Department shows only a fraction of the tens of thousands of civilian complaints of police misconduct since 2011 have resulted in discipline against the officers. In one case, a white officer accumulated 68 complaints against him but received no disciplinary actions. In total, the data shows that in 97 percent of the cases of complaints filed over the last four years, officers received no punishment whatsoever. The documents were released after a decade-long legal battle by the nonprofit journalism organization the Invisible Institute and the legal aid clinic at the University of Chicago Law School.
