On July 10th, the Cook County Board of Commissioners will vote on four resolutions related to Police torture and the Jon Burge Scandal. The resolutions are as follows:

1. The Cook County Board recommend the United States Attorney’s Office in the Northern District of Illinois investigate and prosecute any and all federal crimes committed by former Commander Jon Burge and his men from Area 2 and 3 Police Headquarters
2. The Cook County Board recommend Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan initiate new hearings for the 26 African American torture victims who remain convicted and incarcerated
3. The Cook County Board recommend the legislatures of the State of Illinois and the United States pass laws that criminalize the act of torture and these laws have no statute of limitations
4. The Cook County Board discontinue any further monetary payments to Special Prosecutors Egan and Boyle for any investigation in the Chicago Police Torture cases
