One of the country’s most influential civil rights organizations has sent a scathing letter to city officials insisting a Chicago police officer be fired for associating with members of the far-right Proud Boys and then lying to investigators.
The statement said the department “has zero tolerance for any of its members associated with or being members of hate groups … Per CPD policy, all members are prohibited from engaging in any illegal discrimination against an individual or group on the basis of any protected class under federal, state, and local law.”, Tischauser described the Proud Boys as “an authoritarian, ultranationalist hate group that has a long history of violence.
Antifascist activists outed Bakker as a Proud Boys associate in May of 2020, publicly releasing private communications between him and known members of the group. After he agreed to the 120-day suspension, acting Deputy Inspector General Megan Carlson asked Brown to look into whether Bakker’s testimony amounted to a violation of a department rule prohibiting false statements, which can lead to dismissal.
The push for a hearing comes after Brown and Talley spoke about the issue to members of the City Council in October, offering sometimes puzzling responses. The FBI doesn’t use that label, but investigatory records obtained by the Sun-Times show the agency provided the police department with an equally alarming designation.
Detective Sergio Velazquez, who led the internal Bakker probe, later wrote to a supervisor that the document “did not provide any concrete information” about when exactly the Proud Boys were labeled a “Racially Motivated Violent Extremist organization.”As a member of the group, Jason Kessler organized the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in 2017 in Charlottesville, Va. Enrique Tarrio, the group’s embattled former chairman, was among the Proud Boys in attendance.
