This is the second time Judge Ellis has noted that "the government later indicted" folks who it had consistently abused. And she also notes that it is "for a separate incident." Perhaps a signal to her colleague, Judge Perry.

This is how the feds started the day that led to the indictment of the "Broadview 6" - by engaging in unprompted, unnecessary, and illegal uses of force. Before 8 in the morning.

These people - the government!!! - really think they can get away with anything. That no one will notice, or that if they do notice, no one will do anything. At least Judge Ellis has noticed and is trying to do something. @unraveledpress.com is brave as hell.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just handed down the written opinion version of her preliminary injunction order, regarding use of force by federal agents in Chicago.
