The Southern Poverty Law Center is pushing back on the decisions by the Chicago Police Department not to punish officers found to be affiliated with the Oath Keepers.A powerful civil rights group is demanding strong action by the Chicago Police Department against at least eight officers who have been connected to the ultra-right wing group the Oath Keepers, who have been the focus of January 6 U.S. Capitol violence.
The SPLC letter rips a police internal investigation of how deep the roots are between a handful of known officers and the January 6 riot activities of the Oath Keepers. A half dozen officers have admitted to joining the Oath Keepers to CPD internal affairs investigators, and others have been connected to far-right organizations known for hate positions and violence. But the SPLC says police officials and the mayor are not doing enough investigate the officers who are aligned with racist and extremist groups.
