Electric Chair for the Hat
- The flamboyant former Chicago alderman and civil rights activist Dorothy Tillman was arrested Sunday in her native Montgomery, Ala., charged with criminal trespassing after a confrontation with hospital officials about Tillman's 86-year-old ailing aunt.
- Tillman, 60, was headed back to Chicago on Sunday afternoon and said she planned to receive medical attention for injuries incurred during the arrest, she said.
- "They knocked me down on the ground. They knocked my hat off. One of them put his knees on my spine and threatened to Taser me," Tillman said during an interview before traveling to Chicago.
The Tribune puff piece claims Dorothy was best known for her hats and her work with Dr. King. We always thought she was known for her poor treatment of her constituents, waving a gun in City Hall, and her other "career." But we guess it's all perspective.
We don't know about anyone else, but the next few Montgomery, Alabama officers who come to town shouldn't have to pay for beer or Wild Turkey their entire stay. And they should get a ride back to their hotel afterward. Anything less would appear ungrateful.

Wow do I love the South!
What I wouldn't give to lock her up!
Can you believe it? She plans to take legal action against hospital and Po-lices for pointing a Tazer at her heart causing psychological/emotional distress, putting her down with a knee on her back causing a debilitating spine injury, hand cuffs that caused permanent pain and sensation loss to her wrists, and putting a crinkle in her hat.
im sure she was running her mouth
Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They knocked her hat off....
MMMeerrcyy!
Oh the humanity....
47th Street isn't the same without ya' ol gal...
For a woman who claims she was beaten up and abused by police and hospital security... she sure is smiling ear to ear in her mugshot photo being displayed at the Tribune.com
Sounds like just more bullshit from her!
Is she working the hoe stroll down there? I guess 43rd street wouldn't take her back?
Tillman was best known for being a whore.When she was elected as an alderthief;her criminal record was expunged.She also served time in the Dwight correctional facility for prostitution and drug offenses.
Allegations of Racism
In 2000, Tillman requested that two caucasian waiters at the Palmer House hotel in Chicago be replaced with African-American waiters for a banquet hosted by Alderman Tillman. Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley delivered a strongly-worded rebuke in the media. The two caucasian employees later sued the Palmer House.
During a debate between Tillman and challenger Pat Dowell on April 3, 2007, Dowell charged Tillman with failing to produce business growth beyond the street corner where her ward office is located and stated "I will be the change agent," after which Tillman's daughter (and staffer) shouted out "A white man agent!"
Brandishing Firearm in City Council Session
During one loud session of the City Council, Tillman gained the attention of the entire floor when she produced a pistol from her handbag and brandished it about. This led calls by some aldermen and Chicago citizens to call for a censure on Tillman's professional ethics, and possible mandatory gun safety training. Tillman also opened herself up to charges of hypocrisy, as she is a well-known advocate of gun control, yet she personally possessed a pistol. Since Chicago has strict gun control laws, it has been also seen as elitist that she can take advantage of gun ownership (under Chicago law, aldermen are allowed to carry firearms) while Chicago citizens could not.
Harold Washington Cultural Center
Tillman has been involved in the scandal-ridden Harold Washington Cultural Center (HWCC) since its inception. In 2006, a three-part investigative report by the Chicago local paper Lakefront Outlook uncovered several accounting irregularities and conflicts of interest by Tillman and her family. For this series of reports, the Lakefront Outlook was awarded the prestigious George Polk Award. Despite these controversies and his stand on ethics reform, U.S. Senator Barack Hussein Obama endorsed Tillman in her 2007 election in part because she was an early supporter of his.
SHE NEEDS TO QUIT ACTING LIKE A NAPPY HEAD HOE.
SHE IS NOT VERY PLEASING TO LOOK AT!
Her greatest words, "They knocked my hat off", that was the jumping off point, Then it was on!!
One word for Dorothy Tillman. WHORE
You ain't happy, lest yo' head is nappy,nappy,nappy!
Lordy, Lordy y'all.
Is she Stymie's long lost sister?
No wonder the ex-hoe always wear a hat over that rat nest she calls hair. CHECK OUT THE DOO.
The tribune removed the comments section fron the story. Damn there were some good ones.
Got to love it. Its great to hear that other places don't care who you are or were. Act the fool, get played like a fool.
her side of the story is bullshit - we all know aldercreatures have no spine !
The Hat gots busted down in Dixie!
Now THERE is someone...who truly IS...a "nappy-headed 'ho", lol.
isn't being all the things you say she is a prequalification for being an aldercreature???
The "Honorable" Clay Davis on "the wire" really spelled out how the system really works and the average taxpayer only sees the street level in your face crime and crooks. One more episode and the most realistic series ever will be gone!!!
SHE LUCKY SEISER DID NOT ARREST HER, SEISER WOULD HAD TASERED HER AND CHARGED HER WITH AGGRV BATT TO A P.O. AND RESISTING. ALSO SEISER WOULD RECEIVED ALOT OF COURT O.T. WAY FOR SEISER.
Why does she call the handcuffs the police placed on her "shackles", I guess its never too late for her to play the old and worn out race card.
Finally the crook gets locked up.
All these crooks will eventually get whats coming to them. Hope she serves some time.
OHHHHH LORDIE!!!!!!!
PIMPALICIOUS SAYS...
WHO SAID YOU COULD COME OFF FOOT PATROL....HO!
I would love to see u-tube video on this. Better yet, How about a JibJab video. Those seem to be qreat hit. Im sire that rasist witch ran her mouth. Normal people dont get thrown to the ground and threatened to be tazerd unless obstructing in some manner.
Does Montgomery pd have a blog. I would love to chime in and sing praise to those officers.
Holy Hats Off Batman!!!
How about auntie? Tillman is so concern about herself and how she was treated. What happen to the auntie? Is the auntie still at that same nursing home? How about any witnesses to incident?
I don't think we are getting the whole story here. Nursing homes are heavily regulated and medical records are "protected documents" and if Tillman didn't have authority to access those records? She most likely went behind the counter and tried to help herself to the file cabinet. A bad habit no doubt that she'd pick up here in Chicago as an Alderass.
Why didn't she contact a lawyer first before any confrontation? Why didn't she call police if her request was refused? Why did the staff at the nursing home call the police on her? I wonder if she trying to run for re-election and wanted some free advertising.
I think Atlanta PD and the staff at that the nursing home is the real victim here in this tragedy by being accused by a corrupt Chicago political has been in the newest re-version of To Kill a Mockingbird.
Iz dont carez whats you doez to me
but dont be messing wit da hat.
what did the hat do for a living prior to getting elected.
PROSTITUTION!
It would be nice to find her CB photo from back then and post it.
I think she is going to find out that Chicago is the only city that gives you money in frivolous lawsuits!
Wow, I just looked at the mugshot I didn't realize it was her on 43rd St last week. I just thought she was another $2.00 hoe.
Does anyone know for sure about Dorothy Tillman's "other" career?
A couple of old timers, both black and white have told me that she was once very active on 43rd St. But does anyone have any proof?
I seriously doubt the Montgomery Police put her in shackles as she was reported as saying yesterday. This looks to me a like a thinly veiled publicity stunt from someone who craves attention. Anonymous at 12:36 hits the nail right on the head; the woman is beaming from ear to ear. She looks downright smug, in fact.
On her mug shot, she looks pretty happy after being "beat up" by the po po.
The hospital should sue her. Don't give that p.o.s. a dime.
...don't you know hospitals always release records on demand..is the bitch CRAZY? methinks she is....
JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH "PARIS HILTON" AND SHE SAID ,(YOU GUESED IT) THAT GIRL'S PUTTIN ON SOME WEIGHT. DAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I would of guess, seeing her former empoyment before alderman was a prostitute, she would of been used to being handcuffed and rough housed. But I guess it is different when they aren't paying you cash for those services.
I sent the SCC link for this story to the Montgomery PD for their enjoyment.
Tillman's going down........again.......and again......and again........and, oh well, you get the picture. I mean, she's gone down before, hasn't she?
Who will organize the fundraiser for the defense fund for The Hat?
The tribune removed the comments section fron the story. Damn there were some good ones.

oh of course they did! UNREAL leave the comment section berating a police officer up for days, yet pull one that berates a former alderman immediately UN FUCKING REAL

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Please make sure the right hat gets the chair.
Thank you
shackles? "That's the sound of the woman...working on the chain...gang...ohh ahh...huh...get back...that's the sound of the woman..."
Hey Ms. Till: it's called privacy policy....aint' no one gonna get those records...not even you with dat silly hat over your box of rocks. duh.
Lets have the arresting Officers as honorary marshalls at the next parade. Hell, lets just have a parade for them!
quick tip for the gun team
I REMEBER TILLMON SAYING SHE HAD A FIREARM TO PROTECT HERSELF AND THAT SHE IS AN ALDERMAN WITH THAT RIGHT.
WELL GUN TEAM HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT TILLMON IS NOT AN ALDERMAN ANYMORE.
RUN THE GUN REGISTRATION BOYS ITS STILL THERE. I THINK A RAID ON HER HOME IS NEEDED DUE TO THE FACT SHE HAS AN ARREST RECORD.
J FED WOULD LOVE IT AND IT WOULD FORCE HIS HAND TO SHOW IF HE IS DA MAYORS WATER BOY.....
new lyrics sung to the beverly hills rendition -tillman booboo
come and let me tell you a story about a hoe named till
she was ugly as sin, had teeth like a grill
wore a hat most times just to hide her face all crappy
if you were to take that hat off, you could see her hair all nappy
nap thatis blackhole westsideheshe
now the first thing you see ole till needs beauty care,
ain't got no mo money cus herclout is gone,nowhere
says alabama is the place we gonna see
so she packs up her hatlongings and whatever else was free
now ole tillman goes to a town in dear ole bamma
tries flexxin her weaves tossin her hats, just like dear ole maama
but the south folks said hoe you ain't no boss no more,
so they locked her ugly ass up and threw her hat down,out the door
Sounds like Miss Tillman needs to work on her ground fighting techniques.
THIS WORKING NO CLOUT P.O. FROM EDISON PARK SAYS: GOD BLESS THE MONTGOMERY AL. PD. THE REAL POLICE. F-CKYOU DORTHY YOU NAPPY ASS HOE.

Is it really true she used to be a "Ho"? If so, that had to be 30 to 40 years ago. Is there anyway to see the old rap sheet?
