This chapter narrates the disclosure of the torture regime in 1989 and the formation of a coalition bent on stopping the abuse, locating victims, and firing Jon Burge. The chapter argues that extant mechanisms for police accountability in Chicago proved weak and inefficient, spurring the mobilization of veteran community activists.
