Burch oversees a misdemeanor courtroom on Chicago’s West Side where, each day, a steady stream of mostly African-American defendants approaches Burch’s bench accused of crimes like drug possession, trespassing, battery and other low-level offenses.Critics say the parade of defendants in Burch’s courtroom is a result of a wink-and-nod agreement between police and prosecutors that goes like this: Police make petty arrests to get people off the streets in an attempt to deter more violent crimes, and prosecutors or city attorneys run with the charges with few questions asked.
Thousands of defendants spend days, weeks and even months in Cook County’s criminal courts each year on low-level charges. Odds are that their cases will be dismissed.

Due process though am I right. Chicago is a red state right?
Red states like New York where they were informed years ago COs(white) were beating inmates to death and only did something about it cause one of them didn't realize their body cam was recording when they beat a Black inmate to death? You mean thar red state you peon?
None of the prison officers appeared to know their body cameras would passively record a vicious beating that led to the death of Robert Brooks.
