Evans Acquitted
- A Cook County judge on Monday acquitted Chicago police Cmdr. Glenn Evans on charges he shoved his gun down a man’s throat in spite of evidence showing the alleged victim’s DNA on Evans’ gun.
Of course, there was no way to prove this as the lab never even tested the DNA to see if it was tissue, blood or saliva DNA, all of which have distinct profiles.

IPRA takes a beating, too:

IPRA takes a beating, too:
- His lawyers made an important part of their defense an attack on the integrity of the much-maligned Independent Police Review Authority, which investigated the allegation of excessive force.
In her closing argument Thursday, Evans' attorney, Laura Morask, called IPRA a "band of inept, corrupt, comically laughable" investigators whose efforts to "bag a commander" were "nothing short of disgusting."
Well put.

Glenn Evans for Supt.
That's fucked up only in Chicago could this happen time to leave this town !
Congrats to the police!
Send his attorney to Baltimore!
Just heard he was acquitted on the News.
GOOD FOR HIM!!
Everyone - Keep safe for the Holidays!!
Next case.
Great guy. I hope he sues Alvarez. Evans for Supt. !
Let the riots begin.....Stay safe everyone
Congratulations Commander, its nice to get one in the win column for a change.
Wasn't Diane Cannon married to Cary Grant?
Love this guy. Now we need him to be our next boss. He is a no nonsense guy that curbs crime. Can't wait for him to hit the streets again
Another reason to SUE the shit out of IPRA and IAD..... This investigation didn't follow department guidelines. There were procedures in place to investigate CPD personnel and this wasn't followed.... Nice that these clowns at IPRA will be investigating police involved fatal shootings next year.
LMFAO
This verdict made my day after all the negative police publicity in recent weeks.
1. The accuser Williams was exposed as a liar at trial and should be charged for perjury
2. Motive was clear- Big $$$$$ from the city
3. Glad to see a working officer from day one aquitted
Great guy, justice prevailed!
Everybody out there is looking for the big payout from the city. $5 million and the "victim" had no injury. What the fuck!
Glad he won his case, but a lesson to be learned by all, if they will come after a commander taking the word of some SHITBIRD then they will surely come after lowly PO's. Stop taking Risks for the sake of bagging an arrest for this screwed up department, you have no backing, just look at the command Changes that occurred last night. They won't help you out period. If you have some occasion in which somebody grabs your gun, DOCUMENT THE INCIDENT, if you have a pimpy ass Sergeant that doesn't want to do the paperwork, go around him, see the DSS or XO. don't stop there, if they won't do it, contact FOP. I'm not a trouble maker or letter writer but a retired Sergeant who always took care of the troops. Protect yourselves especially in todays climate. do the minimum and no more, .
She doesn't care either way, just didn't have the prosecutorial fortitude to make the right call herself
The complainants story wasn't very good. Couldn't keep it in line or on track.
Congrats Glenn,
IPRA has got a majority of jag off police haters. Ando was probably the best thing that ever happened to them and they fucked that up too. Could you imagine hiring a fired CPD employee?
That is who the investigator in this case was. Another IPRA hallmark is "victims" who repeatedly change their story like this idiot.
FOP, if you haven't already, keep that attorney in mind. MORASK
Congratulations to Laura Morasek. You were an ASA way too long. Always knew you were much more valuable as a private attorney. You go girl!
Nice!! All these bangers need cops like this who will give it back to them 10 fold. Who cares what the thug families have to say. Let them march.....but keep cracking heads. My only wish is that you don't treat non-criminals like criminals when you come into contact with them. Don't be so mean.
Glenn Evans was one of the best commanders I have ever worked with. You rarely see them leaving the district anymore (other than political gain and aside from the occasional protest) but Evans was out there and in the shit with us. I'll never forget clearing parks with him as he lead from the front, hearing him yell in roll call or the hallways about these fucking savages; or backing him up while he had five, six, plus against the wall by himself.
Sad to say that this shit is over. He understood that there is no such thing as reeducation/free training, rehabilitation/therapy, fucking holding hands or whatever this "cease fire" shit is about (money laundering.) The only thing these animals will and ever respond to is absolute fear and violence (how they control their own.)
The leftist extremists have taken hold and their indoctrinated children are now, what, lying on the sidewalk in an attempt to highlight straight up criminals being put down by the police or whatever it is? Good lord, god help us.
It seems society needs to be reminded just how much they need us. YOU, the patrol officer holds WAY more power then you think.
Merry Christmas, boss.
Bravo! Now these shitbags that lie about abuse after being coached by their socialist agitator lawyers can suck it!
Any criminal charges against any Chicago police officers needs to be moved to another county. Dupage or lake. Can't trust cook county because of the politics. This county has turned into a banana republic.
I am grateful that Cdr Evans was aquitted, he was making a difference in 011. His no nonsense style of policing is exactly what these tough communities need. God bless.
Unlikely for Cook Co., it appears justice was done. I always suspected the chargers against the commander.
The case the states attorneys office presented was pitiful. No "offender" identification, "victim" changed his story multiple times and the state failed to test for the presence of saliva when the allegation was that an object was forced into the "victims" mouth. When have any of you working coppers had felony review approve charges without a positive id or a victim change their story mid stream? If you say you have you are a fucking liar!
The only thing this trial did was rob us of one of the only bosses in the department that inspired others to proactively police the troubled neighborhoods of the city of Chicago. My guess is that he will be reinstated and demoted to his highest civil service rank, a gross error in judgement fueled by the swirling political climate in Chicago currently.
rather get my news here or from shave.
Great job by Laura Morask. Screw these politicians. Merry Christmas to Commander Evans.
The ipra investigator should have been replaced as soon as it was known there was proven bad blood between her and Evans
Maybe, just maybe the media will lay off their perceived lack of ipra discipline on coppers after the truth of just how fucked up those idiots are there has comeout in trial
Glenn Evans needed to get gone back in 2008. Glad to see this dumbass out.
Good over evil
I hope Glenn gets paid !!! Fuck these incompetent assholes !
Get your money , Glenn and enjoy your life , because you just hit the lotto my friend.
Thanks to all those who came to show supoort for this cop. Justice prevailed. He has always been the real deal and took care of the working police. I hope this "cop" will confront those who have put him on the cross and be fully reinstated. Face it. Policing is over. If you are still doing anything proactive you deserve the full treatment. Bosses and our fellow officers are all in this for themselves. Answer your jobs and cover your ass. May the lies and gossips begin. The states attorneys will hang us. IPRA has no ability to investigate anything and they too are over flowing with clout babies. Can we find out who the 3 ASAs were on this case? We need to be extra careful in front of them. They were laughing and smiling so much during the trial I thought I was at a comedy show. Thank you Judge Cannon in room #506 for the fair and unbiased ruling. Thank you for citing the supreme court case to describe Ricky Williams as the liar he is. "GO BLACKHAWKS!" LOL
Nice article but boy is Father Brandt getting hammered in the comment section.
When Chicago Archbishop Blase Cupich called together religious leaders last week to pray for justice in Chicago, one of his priests made a conscious choice not to attend. Doing so, he believed, would betray the flock he serves and protects.

Hey SCC, why do call it a dismal performance? If anyone is going to be convicted of a crime, especially a police commander shouldn't it be "beyond a reasonable doubt"? Commander Evans deserved the same basic rights as the shitheads get whenever they appear before a judge.
Let's start a list of all the people in the media who have been arrested and charges were dropped. I can't remember all of them.
Walter Jacobson-dui
Neil Steinberg- domestic violence
Hose Sanders- drug possession
Andy Shaw- illegal hotel
Mary Mitchell- refusing to sign a complaint for car theft
I am sure people know a lot more
I was never fond of many exempt rank people, never met Glen Evans, but I am glad he was acquited.
Its nice to have a super duper phone call.
I hope he sues the shit out of Anita Alvarez, IPRA and their witch-hunting rats and the shady news conflagrators.
Glad this nightmare is over for Commander Evens, never worked for the man , but hear he always took care of the men and women in blue.
Great! Chalk one up for us Bitches!!!!
We're so lucky that Evans is black. Imagine the shitstorm if a white cop accused of this was acquitted.
A big win for everyone on the job!!!
Ha Ha!!
Nelson Muntz
Off Topic SCC please forgive us but very very important info concerning allegations of misconduct:
The have been several complaints of documented cheating and compromising of classified information regarding the recent Lt’s Examination. The Department of Justice has been informed and an investigation will search for patterns of unconstitutional policing practices throughout the police force. If the department tries to rush a promotion of these suspects from the new list, all participants from the old list will be part of the upcoming lawsuit. If, a class of 30 are promoted from the new list, the 30 from the old list will be the main complainants as they were cheated out of their rightful promotion. They will be contacted.
Hopefully the CPD will be proactive and avoid another negative media press release by holding off promotions from the new list until the investigation is completed.
Finally a win for the good guys and a loss for the thugs. It makes you wonder if the lawyers actually fought for the guys rather than settle with the rat lawyers and thug lottery winners.
Glad to see he got acquitted!
Time for Evans to retire and leave this crooked city to a happy retirement someplace warmer than here!
Now he can put his application in for superintendent.
Have Cmdr. Glenn Evans head a newly created Gang Disposal Squad. Give him a new gun with a MUCH longer barrel.
Thank you your Honor for looking at everything
To all hardworking Officers please continuine to be vigilant COPS. Please ignore those who say shut it down or become a ROD. You hardworking folks are the reason why we can safely sleep at night. Remember gangbanging and drug dealing are not the only crimes in Chicago. There are some major turds out there fixing to kill Innocent people. Your proactive Police work may one day interrupt a major criminal enroute to kill OUR friends, families, or neighbors who are at a movie theatre, shopping mall, or School enjoying themselves. Always put your family before this job but don't shut it down just yet, these criminals are rolling thru our beat and we signed up to disrupt them. Be safe my friends, Veteran PO
Good for him, now get back to work and sue Rahm for millions!

OPS was no better. A good copper has been vindicated.
Congratulations boss.
as a white working non-clouted po im glad glen beat the case n i hope he returns to full command duty status.
In the immortal words of the jerky boys circa 1998, "Sue me?? Ya, sue everyone."
Received the 2016 Flop handbook today. Missing pages! WTF...
please verify that 2 IRPA department members stopped and questioned two VRI officers working on Michigan Ave. The 2 IPRPA department members asked each police officer for their name and star #. The IRPA department members observed that a tourist asked the officers' a question, and when the 2 officers did not obtain an event # for "positive community concerns" during this question answer session with the tourist the 2 IRPA department members implied that this was inattention to duty?
More like HARASSMENT!
I would have used my cellular telephone to take a picture and recorded this IPRA vs police officers street encounter.
Finally justice. Bless you Commander Evans, now let's get back to CPD business.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/chicago-police-used-excessive-force-man-dragged-handcuffs-210032059.html
This is what is considered unbiased and professional news reporting. The article does not even mention that Coleman's cause of death is listed as an allergic reaction to a sedative. Unfuckingbelieveable
If anyone thinks the States Attorney's Office are friends to the police read the comment by Anita.
Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez said: "This case underscores the reality that it is extremely difficult to convince judges or juries in Cook County and around the country to convict police officers of misconduct in the line of duty, despite the fact that this victim made an immediate outcry and we had DNA evidence to support our case.
"Regardless of today’s ruling, I stand strongly behind the decision to charge Commander Evans with these crimes. And as I have proven by my actions throughout the course of my administration, the State’s Attorney’s Office will never hesitate to bring criminal charges against police officers when they are supported by the facts, the evidence and the law."
My partner was at IPRA giving a statement and the FBI was there taking files from police shootings that occurred over the past five years.
Thank God
Alvarez is a huge POS. Her statement to the press basically threw every officer and all Police Deapartments across the country under the bus by saying this verdict proves it impossible to convict any on duty copper of any crime in any jurisdiction. The only reason I wish I still lived in chicago, Il. is so I could vote her out of office.
Retire ASAP and sue those responsible for these filing these charges. It's too bad the SA personnel are immune from civil liability. Go somewhere warm and escape this shithole city and state.
So happy for Cmdr Evans. It's anticholinergic Alvarez who should be thrown out of office.
BLUE LIVES MATTER
As Matthew M from dazed and confused (great movie) would say alright,alright,alright! hope Glen avenges his name, he gets his job back, and walks on by the "gold star" club that threw him down that rat hole! Bravo! Finally a win! Real men are not held down! Show the punks in the gold star club what a real man does Glen!
at least he walks... now the question is will he get his job back
No brainer. IPRA lied, made up evidence, and tried to bullshit the judge. Tainted evidence and the judge saw through all the bullshit. The "victim" continually changed his story so many times it seemed he made up stuff only seen in movies. The asa's tried to paint the commander as out of control but never once admitted their "victim " is a LIAR. Congrats on winning. Now retire and start collecting that pension . The old school police are becoming extinct. This city deserves nothing. Give em what they want. Zero police service!!!!!!
BS put the PO gets murder one
DNA on the pistol Crook County Justice
POs should do nothing
March the system is Corrupt
Interesting verdict! IPRA really messed up. It's funny Scott Ando threw those folks way under the bus. And he was vaunted fed from DEA ' s Office of Professional Responsibility. Wow this case is so interesting on so many levels.........Good thing he went for a bench trial. A Cook County Jury would have been stirred up by current events versus law and facts.
march the gold braid bosses get off
Media coverage on TV was disgraceful. Guy on 5 reported the whole story like Evans got away with something, nothing about the inconsistencies in testimony or lying. but the worse was he asked some woman that had a kid locked up on a gun charge and let he rant how the system needs reformed.
The reporter had as few facts as possible but inserted as much "he got away with it" innuendo as possible.
OT Here are the names of the aldermen who signed off on that $5 mil dollar payoff to the McDonald family. Lying asses claim they had no knowledge about the payoff. http://www.scribd.com/mobile/doc/291768212/Transcript-pdf
The 009 District rally in support of police that was supposed to happen on Saturday was cancelled because of a plea by 11th Ward Alderman concerned that we might clash with anti-police protesters causing an incident which would tarnish Bridgeport's good name (ha,ha). One would expect a politician to thwart these efforts, but I was more that a little disappointed in Fr. Brandt for urging members and their families NOT to show up or participate. I know Fr. Brandt is a stand up guy and goes out of his way for the membership. That being said, I can't help feeling a bit let down since Fr. Faker is always so vocal and quick to defend his parishioners and members of the African American community at large. Why is Fr. Brandt so silent in these troubling times? A televised spot by Fr. Brandt saying a few kind words on behalf of the membership might go a long way. I guess Bishop Cupich has him on a shorter leash than Fr. Faker.
I don't think so. Read Fr. Dan's article in tribune. He called Van Dyke a hero and says all the protestors non Christian in their ways. Also how police are trained to shoot until threat gone. Not to mention he refused to go to these rally's because he didn't want to betray the flock (CPD) that he took vow to serve in his current duties. Interesting article that took big balls to say. If SCC can find it. Post it.
He can now throw his hat in the ring to be next superintendent.
You know the Black Caucus will DEMAND only a black be chosen.
Only in Chicago !
good for you Glenn!
And every last round fired by Van Dyke at a PCP addled knife wielding mutt was justified despite the claims of Alvarez. Praying for Van Dyke.
Glen for Superintendent!!!
Nyaaaahahaha!
Hopefully Evans is the hateful and vindictive type...
Here's to him taking a lot of money from Babs and
Fat Boy...
Do we really want "the best and the brightest" as IPRA investigators?
Good Justice was served.
God Bless you Glenn! Glad to hear, but did not know you were in "no pay status"
Really?????????? Hows dat
If that was a blue shirt he would be packing for menard correctional and you know it.
Judge Diane Cannon is a fair and honest jurist.
He got sand bagged for working. I worked for him, he is a hard worker. Commander you are a true gentleman. :)
Chalk this one up for the good guys!!!
Commander Evans, you are a god man and I can't wait to work for you again.
We, who know a little about the law and are being reasonable thinkers, knew it would be a NG. Judge Cannon is a right thinking American. For the next unlucky copper who gets jammed up for being proactive might not end up with a judge like Cannon. Our loved ones say, "Be careful", meaning "Come home in one piece". Now it also includes, "Come home period / Don't get locked up". Play it smart, politicians want to see a copper get jail time.

Not LEO here, hooray an ass kicking cop got let off. Avid supporter of LEO's and especially CPD. However, off topic post. Our fantastic shit for brains prez is up to no good. I'm in the search for an AR. I found one I like. I call the big box company to make sure they have it, so I can cross the border to purchase tomorrow. I'm told "we did have it, but not anymore" i ask if they sold out. "No, we just don't have it for purchase" I inquire why not. "Due to recent events we can't sell them or take orders for them" I say, " it's a legal right that you can sell them if you have them" she says "not anymore" As you can see, we are fucked as a country, constitutional rights being violated, loud and clear. Because terrorists hit in CA, liberals push their agenda and now forbid legal citizens from using their 2nd amendment rights. Sounds like a great time to be an American citizen. God bless you guys, and be safe out there.
One of the boss who always has your back! All the best, Boss!
So is it true that KJ fucked over Glen when he was in 003rd district?
How dare u go and congratulate him like u were his friend.
Happy for you Glen, I knew ud come out ok. KJ is full of shit
Now he can throw his hat in the ring for Supe.

I am sure people know a lot more
Dave Saivini--DUI with his kids in the car
Merry Christmas BOSS!
For all of u dumb fucks who love Evans so much; if this was a blue shirt they would be guilty. If this defendant was a blue shirt then even after acquital the department would fire him. Remember, there are two sets of rules. One for the big bosses then for the rest of us.
Wow, if IPRA is that fucked, then what is CPD? I mean the public says they don't sustain enough and SSC bloggers say they do, which is it. Face it, you are both FUBAR. There hasn't been anyone from the FBI there, that's bullshit.
Do we really want "the best and the brightest" as IPRA investigators?

If KJ is a white shirt, then yes..the rumor is true. I overheard a few months back of the pending
Cases (civil suits) that sitting at the corp.counsel-- with evans name on it. The thing about
This criminal case is that a sgt. Was giving
Up alot of info on evans in order to make him self look good.
North side copper
Now let's see if this lying lier who lied will sue the city for millions and win. Even though the officer was acquitted, there is noting stopping this POS from filing a civil suit.
Cmdr Evans smart guy,asked for a bench , he has the balls of a lion, free tickets on me for the blueman group show, he showed those no balls bosses on the job, and pos what has to done strap on a set, once in a while, make him the 1st deputy, asap the protesters would gringe
in there steps, Glenn was raised right God bless his family, and
His parents
I wonder if his enemies were trying to destroy GE financially by no pay status, huge defense atty costs, forfeiture of pension upon conviction. Well, the plan backfired. Back pay with interest, law suits with damages and a sweet pension. He who laughs last laughs best.
Congratulations to Glenn and God bless him. Thanks for all your hard work over the years trying to better the community's way of life.But this is what it got you. This should be an awaking for every officer out there. The PD does not care about you. We have been thrown under the bus numerous times and its time to really wake up. And as for Glenn,in the words of Mr. Wolf in Pulp Fiction,lets not start sucking off each other just yet. Glenn has a long way to go yet trying to get back on.He's going to have to fight hard again to get reinstated. Good luck and God Bless. STAY FETAL MY FRIENDS.

He was on Chicago Tonight last night. Actually he sounded pretty good considering.
12/15/201 @ 2:02 There is not 2 sets of rules in this case, Cmdr. Evans was charged criminally. The Judge found him NOT GUILTY of all charges. Evans is one of the last of a dying breed, WORKING COMMANDERS. Evans stands up for working coppers, even if standing up will mean pissing off a bunch of do nothing exempts, Lts, and Sgts. Cmdr. Evans stood shoulder to shoulder with his blue shirts. All of us on the job need to embrace this not guilty verdict and hope one day this department promotes more Glenn Evans to LEAD (not boss) the men and women of this dept. There could be some dark days ahead for LE everywhere, especially in Chicago.

I heard on a Fox News show that the potus was preparing another "executive order". He wants to ban the sale of AR type weapons to the public? Maybe the military too when he gets done!
Evans should retire and hide under a rock! He is and always will be a piece of shit! And yes I've known him since he was a sgt! So all fuck off

Sooo, then, we should've hoped for a conviction?
I see your "dumb fuck" and raise you an "irrationally jealous moron".
IPRA was well prepared the RevRuns had them playing clue in the basement of the church every Sunday and had them watch a four hour block of Scooby Doo every Saturday before they got hired.
Lets not forget that Anita want after him even after being told by her people that it might be a set up by some of the liberal lawyers.
Not for nothing, but you as Sholes all jumping on the bandwagon now are as fickle as the jag off citizens you sneer at for drinking the media koolaid. When this first came out, many if you bad mouthed this guy mercilessly and called for his crucifiction. Now you are all stoked that he won his case. Hypocrisy doesn't limit itself to the citizenry, I guess. Food for thought.
Where is Commander Evans going to be assigned? Seems like they sat down on all the available chairs on Sunday and there weren't any left. Someone retiring??
"Wow, if IPRA is that fucked, then what is CPD? I mean the public says they don't sustain enough and SSC bloggers say they do, which is it. Face it, you are both FUBAR. There hasn't been anyone from the FBI there, that's bullshit."
What the hell are you blathering about? I can't speak to the IPRA or to CPD, but clearly, you've gone full retard.
I'm a smart fuck who's a huge fan of Evans he's a genuine guy doing a thankless job
Would run through fire for ANY officer
The FOP book missing pages...
Those pages will be in the sequel
The IPRA investigators asking why the VRI guys didn't get a positive interaction number. If they could have thought a little more quickly they should have asked for a negative community interaction number while talking to them and then reminded them that their questions were feeling like an interview without a sworn affadavit or the required time to get counsel. I bet they would have walked away quickly.
"""For all of u dumb fucks who love Evans so much; if this was a blue shirt they would be guilty. If this defendant was a blue shirt then even after acquital the department would fire him. Remember, there are two sets of rules. One for the big bosses then for the rest of us."""
Yeah especially if he was white. So dont go thinking this is a go ahead to do Evans type Policing. If any of you unclouted white boys got tagged like that the next for for you would be prison.

It wasn't canceled. It was postponed because the City panicked at the overwhelming numbers of supporters who wanted to participate. Fr Brandt wasn't in charge of it; he was just passing the message along.
Ever wunder why Chicago gets the worst elected officials in the world?

And yet another reason to lay down. Deputy charged with manslaughter, a first-degree felony after having a gun pointed at him:
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/fl-bso-deputy-indictment-analysis-20151214-story.html

OT kind of: ANOTHER OFFICER CHARGED IN SHOOTING
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - A Broward Sheriff's Office deputy has been charged with manslaughter in the 2013 fatal shooting of a man who was carrying an air rifle.
Broward County state attorney's office spokesman Ron Ishoy said Friday that a grand jury has indicted Deputy Peter Peraza in the shooting of Jermaine McBean.
McBean was shot July 31, 2013, by Peraza outside his apartment complex while carrying the unloaded Winchester air rifle.
A federal lawsuit filed against Broward County, Sheriff Scott Israel and Peraza claims McBean could not hear deputies' commands to drop the gun because he was listening to music with earbuds.
McBean's family's attorney David Schoen claims the BSO told the family that they found the earbuds in McBean's pocket.
"The story that the BSO is telling that he refused their orders and continued walking and then pointed a gun at them after hearing orders to drop his air gun simply could not ring true," Schoen said.
Peraza was a 12-year veteran at the time of the shooting.
Israel said he has suspended Peraza without pay pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.
"Now, the case will go forward in the courts, and a jury will weigh all the evidence and render a verdict," Israel said in a statement. "For everyone in this case -- the McBean family, the Peraza family, the BSO family, everyone in our community -- we want truth and justice to prevail."
Peraza's attorney spoke to Local 10 News about the arrest, calling his client's arrest an "abomination."
Deputy Peter Peraza
"We cannot Monday morning quarterback our officers (and) our deputies," attorney Eric Schwartzreich said. "They need to be able to do their job."
In an internal affairs report obtained by Local 10 News, it was discovered that Peraza received a Gold Cross award after the shooting. Peraza was nominated for the award by Lt. Brad Ostroff and the paperwork was supposed to be signed off by several others, including the sheriff.
The BSO opened an internal affairs investigation to find out whether proper procedures were followed. It was later determined that Deputy Kelly Loor, who was in charge of awards at the time, had shredded the paperwork.
BSO policy states documents should be kept for five years, which they were not.
Peraza testified that he never saw anything in McBean's ears, but a photograph of the body that later surfaced clearly showed McBean wearing earbuds.
Ishoy said the grand jury heard testimony over the course of three days.
Peraza appeared in court Friday afternoon as a judge set his bond at $25,000. Peraza was released later that night. Schwartzreich told reporters that he advised Peraza not to speak about the arrest at this time.
"The tragedy is that law enforcement officers everywhere can be concerned and scared and not have the chilling effect they're going to be second-guessing themselves," Schwartzreich said.
Jeff Marano, president of the Broward County Police Benevolent Association, questioned the decision to charge Peraza.
"They cleared him," Marano said. "He was working. They investigated it. How do you send the guy home without pay? It's ridiculous."
The manslaughter charge is a first-degree felony punishable by up to 30 years in prison.
Tried to get the Father Brandt story from Trib on line and couldn't.
I did notice that they were publishing a mugshot of JVD.
How did the media get hold of that?
Was that a booking photo or a personnel photo?
Who leaked that?
I remember all the tact and gang teams in 011 bitching about Evans when he started stirring the pot. So is he a good boss or not. Seems to me he was taken care in the end. And I guess that's ok. But a blue shirt would be hung, I mean out to dry, fired to daloo motherfucka sayanora. But when and if he gets back, he'll still be a white shirt and taken care of.
"Wow, if IPRA is that fucked, then what is CPD? I mean the public says they don't sustain enough and SSC bloggers say they do, which is it. Face it, you are both FUBAR. There hasn't been anyone from the FBI there, that's bullshit."
Sounds like you're pretty FUBAR yourself.
Please come back to 011, Jones is so worthless that it cant even be put into words.
Great job Laura! BTW, you still owe me a lobster dinner!
God Bless America and God Bless Glen Evans! We're guts and determination fail, the will to survive kept him going. You are a true super hero my friend. Just a mortal man,but a cut above the others. Your theme song should be I Will Survive. All my best and may all your dreams come true!!
Commander Evans -
Thank God justice prevailed!
- former 002, now Sgt. Thank you, for many things.
If you went to the trial you would have known that Evans told some troops the media needs to stop treating all cops like they were corrupt and all blacks like they were criminals . He also had some choice words about how the media acted and how they treat gangbusters like victims .
He treaters all workers decently . Didn't care about color.
Evans won't be going to the police board or getting fired over this. Read the court transcripts. If I was the states attorneys or ipra guys I would be worried about my job and freedom right now.
Evans should retire and hide under a rock! He is and always will be a piece of shit! And yes I've known him since he was a sgt! So all fuck off

Are you still pissed off at Evans for calling you out about your silly one bag crack/weed arrests. We know who you are, and why you're upset, so let it go would you!
