Variety Show in Madison to Benefit Christopher French
NATO held their summit in Chicago in late May, 2012. Activists from all over the country converged in Chicago to protest the war makers, and we experienced police brutality.
Christopher French was among those arrested during the police riot, and has been framed on charges of “aggravated battery on a police officer.” Many of us here in Madison know Chris because of his presence in this town.
