Who Gets Blamed?
A 2004 Chicago Police pursuit that ended in an Evanston crash that killed a 16-year-old girl will cost taxpayers $2.8 million, under a settlement advanced today by a City Council committee.
The Honda Civic being chased by an unmarked police car went through a red light, struck a minivan, then rolled over before it hit a street light and came to rest against a light pole at the Evanston intersection of Dodge and Main.
And that isn't the only settlement voted on:
Also on Friday, the Finance Committee approved a $500,000 settlement with Minnie Johnson, who suffered a shattered femur nearly eight years ago after being struck five times by bullets fired by Chicago Police.
The shots -- fired through a door and a back porch staircase at Johnson's home -- were intended for her grandson, who had taken Johnson hostage while wearing a nylon stocking over his head.

You know what? Fuck this. Fuck this dept. I am friends with the copper that got wounded that night. The night that piece of shit took his grandmother hostage. Forced her to the ATM machine. Robbed his own grandmother at gunpoint. Who the fuck does that? A savage, that's who.
Fuck her.
Fuck that piece of shit who rots in jail who should have been in jail as he was on EHM for a sex case. He will die in jail.
God bless LP who fired back at that piece of shit.
God bless KC who is with us today. Thank God.
I'm fucking done with this city and dept.
JUST GOES TO SHOW OFFICER SHOULD FILE CIVIL SUITS IF THEY ARE INJURED.
IF THE DIRT BAG EVER GETS ANY CASH FROM THE CITY IT WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE OFFICERS.
DONT FORGET THE CITY LOST IN ARBITRATION THE RIGHT TO SCAM UR LAWSUIT IF YOU ARE ON IOD.

The crash killed 16-year-old passenger Tarrea Black. Another passenger, 24-year-old Ezell Holden, suffered a severe head injury. Driver Levar Drane fled the scene, but subsequently pleaded guilty to reckless homicide and driving under the influence.

The city should pay zero, take it to a jury and lose, and still don't pay, take it to the Supreme COurt, to judge that criminals should be held accountable, and they alone, not the police trying to uphold a cival society.
PS Everyone in chicago, listen, you can take off on the police with no punishment, just leave, no ticket, no arrest. Try it.
Kev got shot 3 fucking times! The grandson was using her Gun!!! Fucking Bull Shit!!!!
I say the City should sue these pricks who sue the City to recover the cost of their actions. They can legally freeze their monetary awards till the litigation is over.
Charge them for the police and fire services resulting from their criminal actions.
This is so stupid to be handing out these large rewards to these asshole who are lifelong criminals with extended criminal records.

All of you cry about the same stuff when you could have voted for D. Brown instead. You sign her freakin name on the complaints. It should have rang a bell! Instead you hit these known complainer poll areas where everyone votes for the same guy they complained about the week before.
Choice #1 same guy zzzzzz, choice #2 The Clerk semi-Ok, and choice #3 absolutely not. Next time flip a coin for the first two instead of choosing #1 just because he is a 2 if so undecided. Trust me I have the same perspective as most of the coppers on this sight. Semi-ok is better than nothing. Next time the cynicism takes over your decision for local politics use logic.
Sometimes you do not need to choose between 1 and 2, just eliminate the 666. The 666 is hard to spot withou an IR number. By then the mark is noticed as part of distinguishing mark, tatoos, or scars. If you look at them in the eye for 5 seconds you will see the 666. It is like a bad stalagmus while watching girls gone wild on a 5 inch DVD player.
OTOH, thank God NO cash came out of the officers check! BT,DT! 3 times, and working on my 4th.
The ammount the city is paying out to these shitheads amazes me!
I'd be happy if the city would pay out, but add up all of the money they collected from welfare, and subtract that from the payout. I think there would be a shitload of people that would owe the city!
I HATE THIS PLACE
Holy Paid OUT Batman!!!
Stupid Mayor and Alderman worry about taking guns off the streets then move an ordinance to register more held illegally for a few months. Morons pay out millions for bullshit. Hey, figure out how much has been paid out and to which lawyers in the last ten years. Complain about lawsuitsm then go to Springfield and demand some tort reform. Start with some limits and pre-qualifications standards before writing those checks fucking idiots!
It's all bullshit, but think about it. If you're looking to get to the point where you're "fidna git paid," who do you go after? The bustout who caused the situation or the city that pays out? There will come a point when this type of bullshit puts the city under. Keep paying shitheads for acting like shitheads instead of investing in your city and see what you end up with at the end of the day.
Here's one for you, this shithead who was actin' the fool in the middle of the street, with at least 30 other equally intelligent fools, is suing the police for a cut to his forehead he received in the process of trying to extract him from his vehicle-he was less than cooperative. Mind you, this is two years after the statute of limitations has run its course. Four years after the incident was supposed to have occurred and now Pooky has memory problems. Like, he can't remember the law.
City counsel agrees the case is bullshit, knows the allegations are ridiculous, the shitbag has named an officer that wasn't even on scene-or working that watch for that matter-and thinks the whole thing stinks. But are still letting it go to trial. TRIAL!!!
I'm glad I work, pay taxes and risk my career, my belongings, my reputation and my life so I can share it with Pooky, the forgetful weed ingesting, no job having, baby producing, drain on our society. Sickening.
Chalkie is fixin it!!
All the wounded copper in the Johnson case has to do is file a lien against the 500k she received. Wait it out like the city and she will settle too.
I agree. File that lien against Gramma's award. Asswipe used her gun. Good case.
But are still letting it go to trial. TRIAL!!!
***************
Hello, the choice is pay or go to trial, Everyone is always complaining the city settles, now they aren't and you are complaining? There is a chance for 1. directed verdict and 2. winning by the city in this case.. ergo it goes to court.
Don't forget, the juries are part of a pool of everyday citizens, they all think getting money from the city is "free money" they don't realize it is TAXPAYER money... and they think the city has UNLIMITED amounts of it, so they are ALWAYS prone to award $ to the plaintiff -
Also, in civil trials, there is a weighting of liability such as
city = liable for XX%
plaintiff = liable for XX%
other party = liable for XX%
of the total damages. You are ALWAYS liable for part of the percentage of damages. The jury has to decide the percentage, then the total amount etc.
Believe me the city does save $ by settling.
However, we now have a city council that (really stupidly) thinks that awarding $ to people is a good idea and I think they think it is free $ too.... they have no concept that WE are paying that out of our pockets...

How about the police officers involved turn the tables sue the city, the people involved, and anyone else they can.

If granny had been killed by goof, then her family would get $$$ for the police failing to save her.
fuck em all!
Lemme see.... The Officer that got shot, and still has the bullet in him gets NOTHING! Meanwhile, The stellar Commander Doty promotes that do-nothing, dog-ass, dumb-shit ONeil? I know he got stabbed, but WTF? This guy runs arround telling people "duh, let it be known, I am the biggest, baddest mother fucker in dis district." (No shit, this is a normal conversation from him!) Meanwhile, Kevin, who is inteligent, articulate, aggressive, and a damn good cop, gets absolutly NOTHING?
We need manditory IQ testing from now on!
Didn't grandma sue for 25 million?Ha Ha Ha.
$500,000 minus Shitbags lawyer that she paid for minus Taxes minus Her lawyer minus The parking tickets she received daily
equals..... A set of rims, some sounds and dinner at the Sizzlers!

I think we need to get organized on our own here. Can we find a lawyer that will do this? Considering what we are facing in the future I think there will be plenty of atty fees for injured coppers.
I would not bother with the FOP here, bec Daley will probably tell them not to file suit.
I have sores on my ass from driving around in my squad all day and not getting out to do police work. This started about a year ago. Think I can sue the city and get paid?????? I am now the type of polieman the city wants me to be and my ass hurts. It's their fault. I dont even get out of the car to get a bus check. I just ask for an event number.Thats's good enough. Park check? Event number. Mission? Event number. Foot patrol? HA! Event number.Sometimes I'm too lazy to get out of the car to tap a kidney but I have my limits. And my ass is gettin fat too! WTF! There's got to be a lawyer out there willing to take this case. I'm sure I can find enough coppers out there with the same problem. We can file a class action suit. I'll be retired by time the city pays out but I'll use the money to get back in shape if I'm still alive.
COME ON !!! WHO'S WITH ME!!!
tax revolt time, join up and get on the band-wagon, this is all a scam on the taxpayers, as the City pays with the Taxpayers money, not their own..LOWLIFE hires shyster Lawyer who files suit, gets paid off by crooked City Corp. Council Attornies, shyster lawyer makes deal with City, drops to City DemocRAT Party, after large out of court settlement payout, gets his share, and lowlife gets rich for BULLSHIT, and FEDS just scratch their tiny Balls and Heads.. Buy EVERYTHING you can outside Shitcago-Crook County. Join the NRA, the Republican Party, Judicial Watch, anything possible against the Commie-CRATS, keep the faith, call ICE on businesses using illegal Aliens, and be safe, don't take ANY avoidable risks on the job or off.
What happened to the laws that hold Jr. responsible or any other criminal resposibe for injuries sustained due to police response to their criminal activity?
How do these pieces of shit able to sue and then get paid...but us working coppers get placed into a program because of CR#s,jump threw hoops by going to classes at the academy and all the other bullshit...to get a letter from the department after 2yrs stating that it was all a big mistake. Now all of us coppers, according to the fop, cant sue and as someone at fop put it...just be lucky your out of the program
City counsel agrees the case is bullshit, knows the allegations are ridiculous, the shitbag has named an officer that wasn't even on scene-or working that watch for that matter-and thinks the whole thing stinks. But are still letting it go to trial. TRIAL!!!
--------
The only way the city can prevent it from going to trial is to settle. If the city refuses to settle, then it has to go to trial. There's no way to prevent it. At least by the city going to trial, they're saying that they don't think the jury/judge will believe it either.
What do you expect when the city settles for 2nd rate lawyers that they hire? These lawyers will never be hired in the private sector and have to settle working for the city. Less knowledge means high payouts to the low lifes. Do you think for a moment that they are capable of arguing cases? The writing is on the wall when the city and police department will no aggressively go after people who lie on their affidavids.
I don't even think the coppers got an Honorable Mention!!!!! No joke, just a law suit. Imagine the emotional impact on the officer's families as KC lay there w/ 3 bullets to the abdomen!!! Now a few years later junior's grandmother gets money from the city. It's beyond a JOKE, it is frickin insane!
This City Sucks!!! Do they realize that these kind of payouts are like slaps in the face to all of us. 5 years on and totally done.
Just raise our taxes to cover it, it's ok I don't mind. While we are at it lets just pay for all their housing, food, education, clothing, cars, rims, drugs, and guns. When will it stop. I have no problem helping those who need help, but we have turned into enablers who allow bottom feeders to comfortably live the life of a criminal at our expense (two fold).
SCC: "ZERO personal responsibility." Uhh, no shit! If they had any "personal responsibility", I don't think they would be commiting crimes in the first place! If "being a victim" is going to be an olympic sport, our shitheads will take Gold, Silver, and Bronze, hands down!
This shows that the city doens't give a f@ck about us. In turn, they're getting a police force that doesn't give a f@ck about them.
You should see how thin the check off sheets are lately. Even workers are shutting it down now.
All the wounded copper in the Johnson case has to do is file a lien against the 500k she received. Wait it out like the city and she will settle too.

But he has to DO IT. Time to start fighting back.
Who is head of finance committee? none other than EDDIE BURKE! this jagoff also wants to up the offer for bullshit olympics from 500 million to "as much as needed" this asshole knows how easy it is to give away "our" money! What a spineless prick! Eddie why do you need so many drivers getting D-3+ pay making a total of over what ed $700,000+ per year great job ed maybe the alzsheimers is kicking in?
Not that we should allow criminals to run free.
And not that the City should be blamed when a shit head does what these shit heads did
BUT Unfortunately there is no way that I know of to stop a fleeing vehicle using another vehicle SAFELY.
Especially in an urban area.
And the Unmarked car is much more dangerous to use in a chase situation since it has less emergency equipment on it
Like it or not the courts are holding the police to a higher standard than than the shitheads.
And frankly rightly so.
So my hard working enthusiastic go get'em brothers and sisters, please be judicious about chasing and if you want my advice refrain from it all together
Stay safe and sound and get your pensions like I got mine
WHERE'S THE OUTCRY??!! A van carrying 4 M/1's strikes and kills a 31 yr-old man and his dog on 112th & Kedzie last night. Where's the reverends marching and demanding that these heartless assholes turn themselves in? Where's the media? Oh, that's right...who gives a shit? Didn't happen in the ghetto, it's not a story. Happened about 10:00p.m. last night. The driver actually got out of the van, looked at the victim, then got back in the van and fled S/B on Kedzie!
MAY YOU ROT IN HELL!!!

Its a shame, but it would have been cheaper if the old bitch died. She's the one that let her grandson be paroled to her, and boy did he ever violate parole, doing an armed robbery on gramma, in her own car, then shooting the Police with her fuckin' gun!! The nice thing tho' is her neighbors will hear of her tall $ and go after her! Always remember, what goes around, comes around. And while I'm at it, Why wasn't KC, at the very least, meritorously promoted to Det.?
Greedy, hungry lawyers.
The City of Chicago pays out and the law firms make a donation to the Cook County Democratic Organization.This has been going on for decades.
Too bad the injured cop can't sue Grandma for the $500,000. Now that would be justice.
The sad thing is that the media never focuses on the story clearly from beginning to ending so decent citizens can become outraged at the entire system of injustice.
I don't even think the coppers got an Honorable Mention!!!!! No joke, just a law suit. Imagine the emotional impact on the officer's families as KC lay there w/ 3 bullets to the abdomen!!! Now a few years later junior's grandmother gets money from the city. It's beyond a JOKE, it is frickin insane!

So true. It makes a mockery of the police department and sacrifices and risks officers go through.
I did.
6/07/2008 04:08:00 PM
You lost.
It can't be said enough, lawyers will be the ruin of this country. Don't get me wrong, we need lawyers and we're all glad to have good one if we need one but there are just far to many. In addition, any legal reform must come from our legislators and well, they're all lawyers so they aren't going to fix things. I can see why doctors make a lot of money but why must a lawyer make 1/3 of what ever award his client gets? That's outrageous. Just think of how much more stable our health care system would be if not for the crazy malpractice cost. Sure, for true neglect or reckless practices there needs to be re-course but as we see with law suits against policemen, a lot of it is bull. But the lawyers, like the ambulance chaser John Edwards (have you seen his house) will tell you they're there to defend people against oppression, against big money, against the system. The truth is they're there to get rich. The system is set up for them to get rich doing very little and the system can't be fixed because they run everything.
That's just another angle J-Feds friends should be looking into. How much money gets kicked back to the mayor and aldermen..But naa, they won't. It's all bullshit and those with the power and money run the shit and they'll just keep stealing from us cause they can....
Was grandma's gun legal. Bet she doesnt have a foid let alone we know its not registered

Stop the gravey train!!!!
They should have a two or three-tiered system in weeding out all these lawsuits. We all know that they are bullshit and some they can just appease by giving pookie $ 1 to 5G. Start hiring some top-rate attorneys, give them the pay they deserve and have them litigate the shit of these cases d to the fullest and maybe the shyster defense lawyers will finally tell their client that it ain't worth it or tell the clients they have to pay some $$ up front now, cause the city ain't settling and now we must prepare for trial. Shyster lawyers aren't going to put in lots of time, especially if they know they are going to lose. Pookie and family won't be paying no money to no lawyer up front.
I'm sure each and every defense lawyer and/or law firm has some sort of connection to the Daley family. It's a money free for all at the tax payers expense.

Sure hope for your sake that you dont bet football and basketball too.
Tom Smith, Hillard's good friend and former FBI agent, called this a bad shooting and wanted the P.O.'s suspended.
Why?
Because he showed up six hours afterwards and was upset that the ADS Irene Jones would not hold a round table after the P.O.'s had spoken with the the State's Attorney.
Smith was an asshole and Hillard displayed how dumb he was for hiring him.
If Obama is elected it is possible that Hillard could run the FBI! That would really be insane.

I didn't bet the Belmont. Sorry.
While I don't usually play the ponies, I once bet a grand on a horse and he won.
I went back to the window at Arlington to collect my winnings--fifty fuckin' dollars.
This race occurred at Arlington Park on June 30, 1973. The horse went off at 1 to 20, the lowest possible odds at the track.
You may have heard of the horse--the immortal triple crown winner, the mighty SECRETARIAT!
After the race and "on the button", security allowed my lady and I to visit the greatest thoroughbread ever--in the paddock. "Big Red" also had a great personality. He nodded his head at us as we petted his snout.
Shortly thereafter, Secretariat went out to stud in Kentucky bluegrass until his death at age nineteen.
R.I.P. Mike "Murph" Murphy who was killed last night on Kedzie. Mike was a member of the well known Irish band, The Larkin Brothers. I hope they find the jags that killed him and his pup.

I gotta question about Eddie Burke, first I used to work for the water dept, my business rep from 130 was on a leave of absence from the water dept when he go "elected" as a BA, he was the district superintendent of the north dist. probably equal to the police asst superintendent, well anyhow he was "there" to represent me when I had a problem lost 10 days, areal conflict of interest there huh,and when he retires he gets both pensions now to my question, is Eddie Burke on a extended leave of absence from the police dept.? if so is he vested in a police pension? will he get a police pension and an aldermans pension too?
this city has been mismanaged (sound familiar).
Vallejo, California files for bankruptcy
============
SCC covered Vallejo a month ago. Go thru the archives
This infuriates me.
I worked this case. It was grandma's gun (left unsecured). Shitbag grandson wanted money, so he stole the gun while she was doing dishes.
He came back later with a mask on and made her drive to the ATM.
Police were waiting at her house when they came back due to a call from a citizen.
Grandson sees police and starts shooting (wounding copper) and used his GRANDMA AS A SHIELD!
Grandma admitted to detectives her grandson shot at police first while using her as a shield from returned fire.
Why did she get paid? She left her gun unsecured and her grandson was the cause of the whole thing. Why is it the city's fault?
The sickest part of this is that when the old bat soon croaks, the grandson will inherit the settlement.
And you ask why morale is low when those brave coppers where doing EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO.
Corp Counsel needs to start fighting these cases. Even if it costs the city more initially, they will eventually send the message that they will not give in so easily.
Injured copper should sue her for leaving her weapon unsecured, and sue him for when he inherits the money.
Just a thought and some venting. F*CK YOU, MINNIE! Thank you.
Off topic, but great story out of Homan (Hyman) Square. Seems that J-fed gave a little pep talk there. He said great job guys, keep up the good work. As soon as he left, the boys were informed that they'd all be going to day off groups next period.

You know what? Fuck this. Fuck this dept. I am friends with the copper that got wounded that night. The night that piece of shit took his grandmother hostage. Forced her to the ATM machine. Robbed his own grandmother at gunpoint. Who the fuck does that? A savage, that's who.
Fuck her.
Fuck that piece of shit who rots in jail who should have been in jail as he was on EHM for a sex case. He will die in jail.
God bless LP who fired back at that piece of shit.
God bless KC who is with us today. Thank God.
I'm fucking done with this city and dept.
Amen. The best part about this blog are the stories like these. It makes you aware of the B.S. that goes on you may never hear about and reminds you nothing in shitcago is legit especially the CPD. 1st and 16th are the only things worth a dam on this p.o.s. dept. Do your best to make it through unscathed till retirement or better yet try to figure out a way to make a living doing a truely rewarding job. Things rarely get better here, its 1 step forward 3 back and is continiously getting worse.

KC got the Award of valor and the Blue Star award. LP got the Award of valor. Both for their actions during the incident. If they had not intervened Grandma would be dead today. She should ROT IN HELL WITH PINCHAM!!!
The totality of the incident should rest soley on the one being pursuid. Plain and fucking simple. Don't blame the police for doing his or her job. I could see if the police drove down the sidewalk loaded with pedestrians or jumped building rooftop to rooftop with the police car but come on. The wrong msg is being sent to the criminals especially in Chicago. Commit ANY crime, get behind the wheel of a car and your free to go to do yet another crime. Chicago Police Dept = The Pussy Police... And they wonder why crime is higher than ever before.

Honorable Mention, what's that? I've been working for the two same sgt's for about 4 years now and both of them are the laziest pieces of shit when it comes to writing awards for the guys that work for them. He throws one honorable our way per year just to attempt to buy our love even though we should get about 50+ per year plus all sorts of other awards and then she has never put a single award in because she's just too fucking stupid and lazy. They both are spoiled and don't care at all and don't appreciate who they have working under them and what we bring in.

Maybe someone in personnel can check and see if Burke is on extended leave. Coppers now are only being given three months on a leave unless, well, unless they have a phone call.
If Burke has more than 10 years as a PO and if he did not take his pension money out then yes, he is entitled to some sort of annuity. He might be collecting it now for all we know.
But what does it really matter? If he paid in the minimum 10 years then he has an annuity coming. If he took his pension money out and resigned then he is done with the pension. I really doubt if Ed Burke is having a tough time making ends meet and needs those few bucks from the pension.

What makes you think there will be anything left after a week?

In 005 opening up a new eBay store "harold's old fried chicken" and as a bonus timmy will be the delivery boy like he was for roy at the airport! to bad so sad!
The grandmamma cashing in on her evil seed is pure nonsense.
But, if one of you fucking morons out there start a high speed chase to catch a guy with a stolen credit card and a member of my family gets killed, the last thing you'll need to worry about is a lawsuit.
Honorable Mention, what's that? I've been working for the two same sgt's for about 4 years now and both of them are the laziest pieces of shit when it comes to writing awards for the guys that work for them. He throws one honorable our way per year just to attempt to buy our love even though we should get about 50+ per year plus all sorts of other awards and then she has never put a single award in because she's just too fucking stupid and lazy. They both are spoiled and don't care at all and don't appreciate who they have working under them and what we bring in.

Move out of the sticks, fella.
Now sgt M.L is a dummy she opened her mouth and corp cons decided to settle that day im sure... hows 012 Marlene ?
Strangely oily eddie burke cannot approve an mri for an iod but he can give millions away for nothing! But then again they waste millions carting his ass everywhere! Does anyone know who the city treasurer is? Why does she have a fleet of cpd drivers? Why does the new city clerk (you know the guy who just skyrocketed our stickers on suv's and pick-ups) have no drivers but drives himself. He is a citywide official (sic) but burke who is the 14th ward has a new car and a fleet of valets! Many all the alderclowns should have cpd drivers if burke can and he is for "fairness" why not the rest?

He's a lawyer you nitwit! The only thing better than having 10 million is having $10,000,001.00! Hos is hos!
Why does Burke have so many body guards? Perhaps he has his own "making threats" so he gets the security guard, valet service.
C'mon this is a waste of taxpyers money. The coppers could return to the district like all the other coppers who get dumped.

Think about what Burke has been into and up to his whole life.
The only wrong thing here is that his personal bodyguards are being paid for by the taxpayers, because nothing he's done FOR the taxpayers, (if you can think of anything), puts him at risk, but many, many things he's done TO the taxpayers, and others, does.
Paying out of pocket for personal services isn't what the Burke's and Daley's, et al., ever do.
Not when they can get the taxpayers to pay for it, which is most to all of the time.
Welcome to the Kingdom of Clout.
While I don't like hearing someone getting paid for this kind of stuff, I seem to remember in our excessive force test, that you are not permitted to shoot through a closed door, regardless if you are being fired upon. You take cover and assess.
Like it or not, that is in place so no innocent gets shot. Like a hostage!
Some of you have your heads so far up your ass, or someone else's, that you breathe smells like shit.

THATS RIGHT, TUCK TAIL AND RUN YOU COWARD. GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!! YOU PIECE OF SHIT LOW LIFE FUCKIN SCUMBAG! HOW DARE YOU! YOUR STATEMENT SHOWS HOW FAR YOUR HEAD REALLY IS UP YOUR ASS!!!!!! For starters since you seem to know it all.....#1 all bets and rules are off if an officer feels he/she is in great danger and fearful of being killed or seriously injured in that by complying with a general order or rule it places such (PO) in jeopardy YOU ASSHOLE! #2 Its called the use of force model you tool, not the excessive force test. Riddle me this senario then batman and explain to me where on the use of force model or "excessive force" test this is...........a 5'1 female PO or any female PO is confronted by a 6'5 280 pound un-armed dirtbag who is telling her he is gonna get her and gun and kill her. He takes a step towards her and she shoots him killing him on the spot! Without uttering a word. Is she wrong? Or is she right? Resistor? Assailant? He was unarmed..cant shoot an unarmed person...right?? I will wait for your response. Till then you can ponder this...the officer was shot at by an offender and hit multiple times by an offender who used his grandmom as a shield who was walking out of an OPEN BACK DOOR while FIRING MULTIPLE ROUNDS at a POLICE OFFICER. He WAS NOT HIDING behind a closed door you moron. I dont care what Burke says. I'd believe a shit-bum on the street before I'd even consider believing an alderman in this city! Keep telling yourself you are the police, cause you are the only one who believes it.
I'm still waiting for your response...........you coward!
