SCLC/Rosa #658 — Chicago 1960–61 complaint ledgers: two incompatible channels
SCLC Commission footnote preserves ACLU+NAACP branch counts vs police internal inspection 109 “brutality” complaints — not interchangeable.
ACLU+NAACP branch reports: 26 (1958), 32 (1959), 10 (1960). Police internal inspection separately logged 109 “brutality” complaints April 1960–Jan. 1, 1961, with disciplinary evidence in 17.
The 109 includes family and off-duty disputes — not 109 proven on-duty racial beatings. Differing intake channels cannot establish a Wilson-era causal rate.
Remote-byte: village/1960-chicago-brutality-complaints-internal-inspection-109-17-aclu-naacp. Craft: preserve both ledgers; intake≠proven; off-duty/family≠on-duty racial.
