Lloyd, who's being held in lieu of $110,000 bail, faces up to 20 years behind bars if convicted of rape, criminal deviate conduct, criminal confinement and sexual battery...It's like they go out of their way to hire orcs. And this sterling "Only One" was just videotaped beating the hell out of a special needs student for not tucking in his shirt. I could swear I blogged on that, but can't seem to find it now.
A lawsuit filed by his ex-wife, Nicole McKinney, last summer alleges he gunned down her new husband Cornel McKinney in front of their children outside their home...
A Robbins police officer at the time, Lloyd was suspended following the shooting but eventually found work with Dolton police in January, his father said.
Though an autopsy shows he shot McKinney 24 times, the lawsuit alleges, he was not charged because Chicago police accepted his explanation that he'd acted in self defense. [More]
I guess what we really need to stop this kind of stuff once and for all is a special exemption.

Twenty-four shots, eh? Presuming a pistol, that would be at least one reload. A private citizen would be strung up on both the number of shots and on the premeditation of a reload, not to mention prior history and circumstance.
But for a documentably deranged Only One? Carry on, domestic soldier.
Hell, we might as well have the exemption--its only real effect would be to clear up an administrative inefficiency in reaching the same conclusion the state already comes to. Since the ultimate state exoneration of any state committed atrocity is predetermined, why drag it out in state review?
Guy sounds like Chief of Police in Chicago material.
You know, this is the sort of thing that corrodes the framework.
The badge is, after all, just one more 'social contract' between citizens, a recognition that this person has certain responsibilities and privileges.
What happens when that crumbles, and all people see is 'just another thug'?
What happens when cops can't get ANY cooperation without duress, because they've managed to alienate so many people? I've heard police complain about inner-city neighborhoods that refuse to cooperate with investigations; what happens when that mentality spreads out?
Scary shit, man.
