Here's something most of you don't know. Bernie Sanders was busted by Chicago cops in 1963.  When Sanders was running for president in 2016, Kartemquin Films and the Chicago Tribune dug up photos of the bust.

Sanders was 21 and a University of Chicago student at the time.  He was protesting the segregation of Chicago's public schools.  He was busted, charged with resisting arrest, convicted and fined $25.

 

Too bad the cops did not strum his head and haul him off to be tossed onto Chicago's garbage dump.  That would have been far better than a measly $25 fine.
