Twenty-seven current and former Chicago cops appeared on the leaked membership list of the Oath Keepers — the anti-government extremist group that gained notoriety for the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Now, a monthslong investigation from WBEZ, the Chicago Sun-Times and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project has looked into those officers in Chicago and elsewhere in Illinois, revealing the troubling records of some of those cops. Reporters Dan Mihalopoulos of WBEZ and the Sun-Times’s Tom Schuba spoke with people who say they had disturbing and racist experiences with officers who joined the Oath Keepers.
