Security video from the Jefferson Tap and Grille appears to show an off-duty Chicago police officer holding a pistol in one hand and using his other to sweep a ball into the corner pocket of a pool table, interrupting four businessmen's game and starting an ugly, physical confrontation...
Over the next few minutes, five other officers join in the fray, grabbing and striking, and throwing the businessmen to the floor and against walls, the videotape shows. The businessmen do not appear to hit back or retaliate.
But "[t]he officers' attorneys said they believe the video indicates the alleged victims in the case -- the four businessmen -- were the actual instigators." And they're not below playing the sympathy card, one of them is distraught because his father died--NINE MONTHS AGO. Just what we need--an emo powderkeg with a gun and a badge.
These are the goons Snuffy Pfleger wants to give a monopoly of power to. Ditto Boss Daley: did you see the video I linked to the other day, and catch catch what that squinting wormtongue said? It starts 13 minutes and 11 seconds into the "report":
We have to get the conscience of every adult to say "it's wrong to have a gun."
Unless, of course, you're a Chicago "Only One."

Until it becomes physically dangerous for them to do things like this, either in the immediate, or protracted time span, this shit will continue.
The courts won't stop them, the departments won't stop them. However the laws of physics can damn sure stop them. And until that becomes a standard consequence of wrongful and illegal behavior, nothing will stop them.
There's a bar at Taylor and Western in Chicago where cops hang out and I saw this sort of behavior more than once. I saw cops going in the back room to do blow with the owner and fiddle with the lingerie night "dancers" too. I also once had a cop ask me to build him an illegal silencer and threaten me with finding an excuse to arrest me if I didn't.
We have to get the conscience of every adult to say "it's wrong to have a gun."
Anyone else think this is what he wants or is that just one of the eggs he and his delusional friends will have to break to make their socialist utopia?
Daley sure sounds like someone else....
The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over
