The Chicago Police Board made the correct decision in suspending — and not firing — an officer who was videotaped beating a 60-year-old man handcuffed and shackled to a wheelchair, a Cook County judge has ruled.Gosh, he had "a stellar law enforcement career," made "a terrible mistake" and he's "remorseful." The poor man is the "Only One" who has suffered enough. Why, you might even say he's the victim here.
The excuse-making only serves to enrage.
This is why they need the National Guard.

Anyone need more proof that the people in government hate us citizens and have zero respect for any of us.
The government parasites are now proving they really believe that they are our masters and can circle the wagons and do whatever they darn well feel like doing to us.
I'm still waiting for the parasites in New Orleans to follow the federal courts orders and give the folks back the guns that were taking from JBT. If any private citizen refused a federal courts orders we would be getting three squares and a cot. However government parasites are not held to the same rules and laws as private citizens.
Clearly the conduct here by the government parasites shows nothing but a total disregard for the laws and the rights of the citizens. We have a huge problem that is getting worse every day.
Rage is not too strong a word.
I an enraged even though the man the officer assaulted is much the opposite of me: black, urban, crime victim, had been drinking to dull the pain of a stabbing rather than go to the hospital where he might test positive for illegal drugs (though I don't know the real reason he decided as he did).
When the agents of the law can do no wrong, the citizen can do no right, and HAS no rights. Red line in the sand...
"a terrible mistake," otherwise known as "crime."
something we usually, you know, "punish" people for, no matter who they are.
"the law" being the only just way of doing that in a society of classes (citizen, cop).
all other options being those which "unleash the gates of hell."
don't they cover this in grade school?
tick-tock, tick-tock.....
I can't wait for some apologist or pragmatist to suggest that it is only the few that make the rest look bad.
If that were true, at the very least, one of those other cops there would have done the right thing instead of just watching. None did, I think maybe it is the 97% of them making it look bad for the good cops.
"Good.... Cop...?" It boggles the mind.
What about all the other people with badges standing around watching? Were they security guards?
I love this old excuse:" This is an officer who had a stellar career for 13 years without any disciplinary history. From the very beginning, he owned up for what he did and was remorseful for his actions."
Yeah - and what happens to a mere "citizen" who has behaved all his life and then is arrested for some altercation? That excuse goes a long way, doesn't it.
I bet Officer Friendly didn't own up to the beating until AFTER the video became public.
Here again is an incident where the criminal beating someone was caught on tape.
Looks like these cameras all over the freedom-loving U.S. of A. are good for something. If a citizen had been taping the incident he would likely have been arrested and beaten as well.
Here is to standing up for your fellow citzens when they are being abused.
