Content Warning: This article contains a brief description of police brutality.
Eleven survivors of police torture presented their stories at an event commemorating the launch of the Chicago Police Torture Archive, a “human rights documentation” of former Chicago Police Department (CPD) commander Jon Burge’s violence against more than 100 Black Chicagoans during the 1970s–90s. The archive was published by the Invisible Institute, a journalism production nonprofit that works on issues of police transparency and accountability in the city.

The Invisible Institute, a nonprofit journalism organization, launched Wednesday the “Chicago Police Torture Archive” a centralized home for scores of records that detail the torturous acts carried out by disgraced and convicted former Chicago Police Cmdr. Jon Burge and his underlings.
The new site includes profiles and interviews with numerous victims of Burge and his “midnight crew.” It’s believed that Burge and the detectives under his command tortured more than 100 people mostly Black men into giving false confessions from the 1970s to early 1990s.
“The launch of the archive is another important step in establishing the true and complete narrative about this systemic and racist torture and cover-up,” attorney Flint Taylor, who has represented many Burge victims over several decades, said in a statement.
The deepest freeze is expected Saturday night through Tuesday.
Wind chills could reach minus 20 to minus 30 degrees, and temperatures may not rise above the single digits until after Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.
“We’re going to be much colder than normal, with highs only reaching the normal minimum temps,” weather service meteorologist Rafal Ogorek said.
Even after Tuesday, the cold is expected to linger for several more days.
It may be the coldest weather in Chicago in two years, Ogorek said. But it wouldn’t be as brutal as the January 2019 cold snap that saw temperatures plummet to minus 23 degrees.
