Today we're heading over to Chicago, IL to talk about a fairly infamous figure in the city's history. Jon Burge had a pretty normal start to his life, then wound earning himself a place in the memory of everyone who lived in Chicago by being one of the biggest pieces of shit their police department has ever seen. And because this is Chicago, there's also plenty of corruption to go around as a cherry on top of our regularly scheduled violence. Enjoy!
