The Inevitable Lawsuit

  • The mother of a 16-year-old boy shot and killed by police during a foot chase last month filed a wrongful-death lawsuit today against the city of Chicago and the police officers involved in the incident.

    After the shooting, which occurred the night of July 2, police said Rakeem Nance pointed a gun at officers who were pursuing him through an alley in the 1900 block of South Christiana Avenue. One of the officers fired at Nance, hitting him. He died at a local hospital a short time later.

    According to the lawsuit Nance, of the 1900 block of South Troy Street, was shot several times in the back and "was not armed with a gun or weapon of any type" at the time of the shooting.

Somehow, the lawsuit doesn't explain how a gun was recovered at the scene. Nor why young Rakeem was running around dressed in dark clothing and a mask. Here's the most unbelievable part of the whole article though:
  • The suit was filed for Doris Burford as special administrator of Nance's estate, by the law firm [money grubbing bottom feeders LLC]
He was 16-years-old, never held a job, stopped going to school a year ago, had a budding record as a burglar/home invader, and was raised by a fourth generation welfare leech - but he has an estate? Give us a fucking break. He was born to be a lottery ticket and momma is trying to cash him in.

Here's where a real superintendent would ignore the "we don't comment on pending litigation" BS and go to town on this deranged segment of society that seeks a payout because they raised an asshole who managed to get killed while being an asshole.

The way the city settles these bullshit suits is the reason there are so many of them. They have nothing to lose by suing, and everything to gain when the city tosses them a huge check to end the litigation. Blame the Corporation Counsel or whomever is in charge of these things.

The Vikings have discovered that they can rape & pillage the city without even having to draw a sword or spear.

They are rid of their POS son forever and they get to split a huge check with the leech liars who represent them.

For them it's a Win/Win situation.

Sure it's BS but lets turn the tables and throw some sand in the gears of this fucked up Cook County so called judicial system.

To the mother of Rakeem Nance, may you, Ma'am, rot in fucking hell along with your POS Lawyer. Where were you when little Rakeem Nance out at night past curfew robbing people and burglarizing someone's house? How come "altar boy" Rakeem Nance hasn't been in school for so long? Then all of a sudden you care about what happened to poor Rakeem Nance, blaming the Police Officers, and trying to cash in some money? Save your fake tears because your POS son,Rakeem Nance , knew that you didn't give a damn about him when he was still alive.

Who is getting paid off?

The Corp Counsel...what is the bid?

The judges...often never get before them.

The Aldermen...who reccommend the lawyers...and approve the settlements.

I just hope that the Grandma who home this little puke invaded to get the guns puts a lien on the settlement. (There were two, a .40cal and a .380, only the .40 was recovered at the scene.)

But, shouldn't the officers involved put a lien on the money or a countersuit for traumaitc stress caused for being forced to confront this dangerous little felon.

Stay Safe. It at least might make the truth come out.

...the problem is that the Corp. Counsel is both unwilling and incapable of defending a parking ticket.
Their only claim to fame is that prior to becoming Corp. Counsels they were responsible for making the rest of their fellow law school students the top 90% of their graduating class.
If they were in fact a competent, capable attorney, the prestigious law firms would seek THEM out.
So, they have to 'job-out' these nuisance suits to an outside (connected) private law firm.
Since these firms 'start' their litigation defense in the neighborhood of around $12k per case, the city would rather settle, no matter how frivolous IF they can can hand out > 12 g's and in their pea-brain minds, save the city money.
Here's a question they put in the exam that most** of the city attorneys get correct on their final test.

Q: What do you call a person that fails the Bar Exam three (3) times?

A: Mayor

** A few former policemen penciled in the (wrong) answer, "Notify the Watch Commander!"

There was a time when any person who had received any state benefits, i.e. welfare, medicare, medicaid, food stamps etc., the State of Illinois would place a lien against any monetary award this subject was entitled to and then forced them to pay back the State of Illinois for ALL benefits that person had received.

How many hundred of millions of dollars are we losing because the state doesn't do this anymore?

And why don't they do it anymore? Well the lobbyist for the attorneys didn't want the state to do this anymore because why would people go through suing if they got nothing at the end!

To answer your "estate" question, anyone who dies technically has an estate. It usually only matters for adults who actually have stuff to disperse and for minors where a crime is involved. A non-ghetto-lottery example would be a minor killed by a drunk driver. Technically, the minor's estate would sue the driver in a civil suit.

Hopefully the City doesn't settle and wins in court. It would be a nice victory. You can then go back and sue, to get that "estate" money. Maybe that money can pay for all the raises that are deserved for dealing with these scumbag dog asses!

Oh, was I sleeping and dreaming, sorry, Nevermind. It's unbelievable that any one can sue for any thing.

How about the Officers getting their own lawyer's and if this yound man has an estate attach it and go after the Mother for filing a false suit.

When involved in a shooting how about everytime there is a shot fired call the Officer's involved in the shooting start to shake and are unable to procede to the call. Take an, in line of duty disability.

Lets quit the bitching and call an attorney ourself and file against the City,(if they settle), the person filing the false lawsuit, and the perk. Lts make it hell to file a complaint.

In other words Attorney, Attorney, Attorney.

That law firm would be the Law Firm of Cochran, Cherry, Givens, Smith & Montgomery, P.C.

The Montgomery in that firm would be James Montgomery, next door neighbor of one Barack Obama.

Mr. Montgomery secured a record $18,000,000 settlement for the wrongful death of LaTanya Haggerty, a 26-year-old, computer analyst who was shot and killed by a Chicago police officer.

She got the right law firm all right.

Caution: the following message may be deemed too sensitive to the politically naive.
The city corporation councils are not capable to handle any type of trail, or even simple legal matters.
They are political hacks feeding at the public trough.
It's not their money anyway. Lets cut a deal, settle out of court, and everyone goes away happy.
That's just another reason for his honor not to hire more police officers. They only screw things up. Trying to enforce the law.

JUST A THOUGHT:

Until someone in CONGRESS, or someone with BALLS approaches Congress..

To petition that all sworn peace officers are indemnified as such, when in the course of their actions and the results are the consequence of department/federally approved guidelines of ...

EXCESSIVE FORCE

that which may result in the death or the consequence of accidental death or disfigurement of citizens deemed the target or within the scope of the officers dscretion or judgement to be the target of said actions which may also result in the accidental death of others unrelated to the matters but may be in direct line or area in which the actions may affect any in such a matter.

The intention of the peace officer must fall into the federal guideline that is mandated and trained to all peace officers nationwide under some federally mandated law that is fought for then voted on and put into play by our Congress.

Maybe if someone with some gumption decided to approach some congressman and petitions to come up with a master plan on this issue.

Hell we got a National FOP...somebody has to know somebody or have a dirct line to work toward indemnifying us on our actions if they are deemed JUSTIFIABLE!

Maybe there could even be a PRORATED insurance diclaimer for the grieving BABY MAMA's that the Federal government only pays out for example $10,000.00 max on a claim in any wrongful death situation. Also nothing or less if someone was in the course of committing a FELONY!

Whatever...somebody get some clues because this is what is taking down our country ...our cities, and our police departments!
