Hadn't read this week's Reader before posting the above this morning -- wish I had. Black People Against Police Torture (BPAPT), a group led by Stan Willis, Larry Kennon and Pat Hill, among others, has a smart initiative going that I think deserves everyone's support.

BPAPT is calling on the Olympic authorities to deny Chicago the 2016 games unless it makes a clean accounting for the tortures and finally holds Burge, et al responsible. No Accountability: No Games.

BPAPT attempted some direct action around this in Washington Park when the Olympic review team was last here. For a good account of this action and BPAPT's overall initiative, check out the Reader article at the following URL:
