Chicago – Downward spiral (one of US worst case scenarios); state gov’t refuses to do anything, even after multiple interventions by civil society, NGOs, federal gov’t, and even the United Nations since at least the turn of the century.
Officers from the U.S. police force responsible for the killing of George Floyd received training in restraint techniques and anti-terror tactics from Israeli law enforcement officers by Israel’s Chicago consulate.
Minnesota police officers attended a 2012 conference hosted by Israel’s Chicago consulate, where they learned the violent techniques used by Israeli forces as they terrorize the occupied Palestinian territories under the guise of security operations. The so-called counterterrorism training conference in Minneapolis was jointly hosted by the FBI. The training of U.S. police officials by Israeli forces is widespread. Even Amnesty International was compelled to report that hundreds of police from Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, Arizona, Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Georgia, Washington state, and Washington, D.C., had been flown to Israel for training. Thousands more have been trained by Israeli forces who have come to the U.S. to host similar events to the one held in Minneapolis. According to the rights organization, many of these trips are taxpayer-funded.
