The Chicago Police Department was caught off guard in late May and early June by growing civil disturbances downtown and in the city’s neighborhoods, according to a 124-page report released Thursday by the city’s inspector general. Officers were “outflanked, under-equipped and unprepared,” and the police department “critically disserved both its own front-line members and members of the public,” the report says.
