Chicago Police Beat Blacks On Election Night - The Untold Story

While people around the country were peacefully celebrating now President-Elect Barack Obama's victory, there were  groups of African Americans that were not able to do so without attack, and all of this happened right in the backyard of President-Elect Obama: Chicago. 


Here's one video explaining the events that led to a class-action lawsuit:





In this video below, it's claimed that five White police officers on Chicago's West Side broke into her home and brandished a gun then cursed at her. According to reports, the officers were off-duty and yet went over in unmarked cars to terrorize these Chicagoans. This is the second of three lawsuits  filed and not for the same neighborhood, but for another incident in Chicago:





Something must be done about this and ASAP. President-Elect Obama's selection has sparked a rise in U.S. Hate Crimes , and it's particularly unacceptable for police officers to be involved. The Chicago Police should fire these men without pay.

Barack Obama Election Night Parties in San Francisco


This is my video of election night in San Francisco and the paties I went to. I started at The Westin for the San Francisco Democratic Party event, then went to Enrico's Restaurant, then back to the Westin and then to El Rio to finish. In the flow I captured interviews with a number of people including San Francisco Supervisors Aaron Peskin and Jake McGoldrick.
