Press conference ahead of march and rally demanding Cops Out of Schools; the Board of Education would soon vote on cancelling or continuing the 33 million dollar contract that puts armed CPD officers into certain schools. Parent Laurentio Howard speaks about the continuing trauma experienced by his daughter Dnigma, after she was attacked by two Chicago Police Officers. He is followed by education activist Rod Wilson, Local school councilor Bobbie Brown , CPS Social Worker Alyssa Rodriguez and Chicago Teachers Union VP, Stacy Davis Gates. The helicopter overhead drown out reporters questions, but they can be understood from the responses.
Videos in notes shows the event. It is a fact that Chicago police routinely lie and falsely charge black teens and worse. There is too long a history of that, which is why the public demand for Community control of the police: CPAC.
