Double Jeopardy? Not for Cops
Amazing how this commie witch completely disregards not only Garrity protections, but Constitutional protections as well:
- Against the backdrop of outrage and protests related to the death of Laquan McDonald on October 14, 2014, newly-minted Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx sought office in 2016 on a platform of “restoring faith” in the State’s Attorney’s Office. In a state of high excitement stoked by opponents of law and order, Foxx has plunged into the wilderness by drafting legislation which would compel cases in which members of the Chicago Police Department exonerated after involvement in fatal shootings become subject to a review by the Office of the State Appellate Prosecutor.
Under Foxx’s proposal, the state’s Special Prosecutor Act (SB1843) would be amended to empower the Office of the State Appellate Prosecutor to act as a special prosecutor for Cook County. In this role, the State Appellate Prosecutor would be tasked with re-examining cases in which Foxx’s office declines to bring criminal charges against a member of the Chicago Police Department embroiled in a fatal shooting.
First up, this looks exactly like political cover for Foxxx or future State's Attorneys in the event that they won't (or can't) bring charges that will stick against an officer. The writer calls this out for the other crap that it is:
- A nonsensical proposition aimed exclusively at law enforcement, this motion has more to do with hostility toward police officers than arriving at justice or attaining the “transparency” and “accountability” of which Foxx has perpetually articulated. Lodged to both indulge and energize anti-police agitators and her far-left supporters, this decisive turn is Ms. Foxx exposing police officers determined by two separate investigations to have justifiably used lethal force to a vengeful brand of double jeopardy.
You currently have less Rights than a criminal you arrest and you are about to have even less should this pass. Read it all - very enlightening article.

If it passes, FETAL will become the least of their worries. I suspect Cops will simply go Embryonic.
WAKE UP OFFICERS THIS IS DIRECTED A CPD ONLY!!!! Kwame amended the legislation to specifically add language that it affects counties with a population of 3,000,000!!! Hmmm how many counties would that be???
Kevin Graham you need to challenge this on equal protections and due process.
May not be all bad:
If this throws out Garrity, then that just leaves Miranda.
So if an officer is involved in a shooting and prosecution is now SOP, officer will have right to remain silent.
Make a statement in 2 hours: No, take the 5th. No statement AT ALL!!.
S-T-A-Y F-E-T-A-L !!!!!
If you have even just one working brain cell in your head, stay fetal!
If the public and the politicians think homicides and shootings are bad now go and get this in place Foxxx.
We expect no less from
Kim "Da Peoples an' Folkses Revenge" Foxx.
The "Cabrini Revenger"
strikes again.
Which one is more willfully ignorant?
Cabrini Kim?
Or "I'm From a Po-leece Fambly" Mosby
from Bulletmore Murderland?
Is this what the whole "Be the Change" and join the police department campaign was about? Or is was it "Be the Scapegoat", "Be the Patsy", "Be the Political Football."
Keep working hard! Get that activity!
Kim Foxx is just plain old racist and stupid. That's it!
And goofy-ass bosses like escamilla and kohnen wonder why no one is willing to do anything?
I mention it yesterday... common citizen has more of a legal justification to shoot an asshole... shoot him in the balls is fine.... if you don't see what I am talking about--- I hope you get into a shooting and so we can chat about how the situation is going on the legal front... baby G
Off topic...security guards are now being beaten in river north. I hope they catch that animal.
Message heard loud and clear! Let "the community" do whatever the fuck they want. To intervene in the mayhem of black-on-black violence is racist! I'll sit back and collect a paycheck until the public decides they want a police force again.
Trump's law and order platform doesn't help us much here in progressive Cook County land does it? The scum fuck politicians here will continue to throw police under the bus in order to get the liberal vote and get reelected; even at the cost of hundreds of dead black people who are currently being slaughtered due to their anti-police policies. But they have everyone fooled that police are the problem and they don't give a fuck how many lives it costs as long as they get votes... I no longer have any faith in humanity. The criminals have truly won via a fictional race wedge driven between us by conniving politicians who don't care about anything or anyone except what is politically expedient in this moment in time.
Over 250 police officer to retire today going to be a hot summer numbers could go up after reading this shit
Don't arrest anyone. Do nothing. Let these animals off themselves.
#preckwinkleandfoxxmustgo not much more needs to be said.
Yet dipshits keep lining up for this job
This is not a shot at anyone specific, but I hope we have a Lobbyist in Springfield that can put a brick on this piece of legislation. We better have someone down there that does this for a living and not just someone who knows people down there. This is just as important as the contract.
To report any crimes perpetrated by Alderman John Arena call the FBI:
Chicago FBI, (312)421-6700.
Shakedowns, hustles, acts of violence against women, etc....
Rumor has it that after the 2 officers were shot in 009 a week or so again , Kim showed up at the hospital to meet with them. According to the rumor mill , Kim was sent on her way after the 2 injured coppers refused to meet with her. This 2 faced phony has no problem destroying an officer's career or enlisting the anti police group , BLM to help her get elected , but she still has the nerve to try and get her name in the news as being concerned about coppers well being. What a shameless idiot .
Time to move on to other things get twentry years and retire the job is fuck up
Ah, part of the new use of force model. Whereas one can only fire when fired upon.
Keep being "go getter's" and you will end up sued civilly and criminally
We better kill this bill. Call your state reps and senators. Have your family call too. You know BLM is calling to support it.
OT....Alot of officers are retiring today....:)
This has gone from a good job to a terrible one inside of 20 years. Good luck with hiring and retention.
If the State Appellate Prosecutor works for Lisa-kins, all should be good. Look, she can't even find a crooked politician in Illinois.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
It appears Foxx is attempting to pass the buck. I do not think the state representatives would allow this. Can't Foxx request or appoint a Special Prosecutor through the Attorney General's Office if, in her opinion, there is a conflict of interest? I guess we will see how powerful Cook County is in regards to the state legislature if this passes.
Kwame better get a new census cuz a county with a population of more than 3,000,000 doesn't exist in Il
Foxx is essentially acknowledging that she is not competent to be trusted with performing her duties. I have a different take on this: Let's support it all the way. Announce we completely agree that ANY charging decision must be reviewed by a more competent official. Don't charge a cop? Review it. CHARGE a cop? Review it. Fail to approve charges of felony battery to PO? Review it. When she releases more convicted killers to get the Loevys paid? Review it. Her entire existence at CCSAO is to fund the plaintiffs lawyers who put her there and feed into the progressive media machine to get votes. This whole thing is a scam. I agree with you, Kim: You are not competent to do your job.

They are not dipshits, rather they are good people looking for steady employment who do not and cannot fathom the depth and breath of the demoralizing onslaught and nonsense they will experience when they try to do their job.
Seems like Ole Kimme WANTS the city to crash and BURN...Phuq this Cabrini POS. Some one has to STOP this GOOF before any more damage is done...
Didn't Foxx work for Loevy and Loevy at one time?! If she did it explains some of her anti law enforcement ideals.
From the minds of liberal commu...democrats in a sanctuary city. Total insanity! The politicians are telling you what kind of city they want, let them have it. You won't need police cars anymore, just some trucks so you can drive around and pick up the bodies before they begin to stink too bad.
They don't want Police Officers, they want garbage men! Pass Ms. Foxx's bill, or whatever the hell it is, and let her have her little victory party just like Ms. Mosby. Of course, she'll have to have it pretty soon before her supporters kill each other off. Shit for brains.
J.J.
Escamilla and Kohnen, I don't hear you out there humping. Let's go, get out there and work you so called leaders.
PLEAD the 5th!
on video with the supervisor then ordering you to speak.
Then request that video not be used until your attorney can be present.
Then request to go to hospital for cheat pains/ anxiety etc etc!
OR trust the merit boss in front of you who is writing nothing down but is in charge of the scene.
Stay Fetal!
15 May 2018.........
And this:
"We the community, want, no - DEMAND
a seat at the table when the next cop
contract is being negotiated..."
Heh...
You Coppers should be acutely aware
of the ongoing efforts to drag you down
a goodly number of rungs on the societal
ladder while Dude Inc. is being aided and
abetted in climbing over your backs to
your formerly held spot.
"It's just because you Coppers are too,
well - ummm... Too... So get over it and
stop selfishly trying to protect yourselves
from US by sitting on your hands/doing
the bare minimum/not getting out of your cars
and caring enough about us."
Even MORE incentive to:
Police Like You Have No Friends.
I'm all for staying fetal, not doing shit, and letting the communities effected by Blk on Blk crime to go pound sand. But, I'm not going to hesitate to protect myself, partner, and loved ones from danger. I will exercise the use of deadly force without question in a justifiable incident. Self defense trumps everything Kimmy is trying. To the weak mined PO, Kimmy is trying to cause fear and hesitation, that will get you killed or someone else. For me, I'd rather be in front of a jury explaining why I killed some asshole, then being on a slab with a tag on my toe.
These libs are certifiable retarded- her own peeps massacring each other and she's worried about .01 of shootings - let em keep killing each other-it's called thinning the herd!
this writer has written many good articles. Tells it like it is.
Yet you still have officers in 015 3rd watch running around in foot chases, vehicle pursuits, etc.
Any officers still working beyond answering calls, even if you are assigned to the district you live in are out of your minds. If you think you are "holding the line" you need your head examined. You have a mayor, county board president, states attorney and sheriff who are all anti-police. They are grown up and empowered 60s radicals. I have hated "dogs" my entire career but that is not remotely the issue any longer. Until society understands that a small and predictable segment of the the population is violent and incapable of conforming to civilized rules of law without strong enforcement, it is us and not them that will continue to be the only ones to be subject prosecution.
Kim Foxx will be just as bad, or worse, than that racist bitch in Baltimore.

The easiest solution for FOXX and her shit would be to make the city of Chicago its own county. Our problem would be solved. City of Chicago, county of Chicago. Let the suburbs worry about Cook County, Preckwinkle and fox.
Off current topic, however good news--one less shitcargo criminal. It seems a criminal from shitcargo was busted in Elgin for stolen car--for some reason he was being treated since the 8th in Delnor hospital in Geneva. Grabbed deputy's gun held nurse hostage and after negotiations broke down he was taken out by a member of the SWAT. Only waiting for the outrage from the south or west side about how he was turning his life around and the bad poolice killed him!
Good riddance to another one!
Take away the cars from Swat and let all Swat people quit what will happen then . Maybe the City needs a wake up . It will take two maybe three hours two get swat where needed Cool
Right now, Im watching Trump speak at the Police Memorial in Washington,Its Great to have a President who shows up instead of going golfing.
First if all, great article by Florian Shonke explaining the pandering and far-left leanings of Kim Foxx. The police are expendable in the city of Chicago. Message received loud and clear. Any police shooting in this city cannot and will not jeopardize the careers of corrupt politicians of this pants-on-the-head retarded place. The Democratic Party drove this city and county into the ground and are placing lifeboats in place for themselves. If you thought Rahm Emanuel was a bad mayor (and oh he is!) wait till you see the ones lining up behind him! Kim Foxx, Toni Preckwinkle and Valerie Jarrett have all expressed interest. I don't have much longer to go before retirement but by God I hope I make it out of this insane asylum.
BTW, doesn't Kim Foxx look like Cha-Ka from the 1970's TV show Land Of The Lost? Just being honest...
Chicago, Cook Co, Illinois is done.
Don't expect anything to change, we as a State will not become a law and order model.
There's no way these Foxxx militant racist, resistant and obstruction agendas are going away.
She is looking out for herself, at being the next great civil rights leader and can care less about the community victims.
It shouldn't matter what color a criminal is when it comes to arrest, prosecution and sentencing.
Democrats are on board to maintain the obama leniency legacy.
Rahm has let the city go to shit, Prickwinkles and Foxxx have their colour thang going on, Dil-Dart clinging to the last of his looney whiteness. Cook Co is a cesspool of entitlements, it's not turning around for the better.
If anyone feels they have to be the next feather in the cap...go on and get in over your head in ghetto affairs.
Being fetal and lacking mandated activity doesn't make you a dog.
Working smart, avoiding controversy and media scrutiny should be everyone's goal.
The shit will come to you - don't go looking for it.
Only one guy/gal gets the Merit bump - no need to have 20 beat cars racing to ghetto disturbance for the sake of some Lt's List.
It's ok to be the sitting duck, just have enough sense to get out of the troubled water before it's too late.
Stay Fetal.
Keep voting Democrat
Well....Now it is official! I am not doing a damn thing to jeopardize my freedom and the house my family lives in. I know I can put it into a "joint tenancy in common agreement. Harold Washington college CPD lawyers need not reply.
Let the "community" police their own. Raise their children the right way. time to blame the parents here. I know it's not easy, but is it easier to let them die in the street?
If I didn't have over 10 years on, I would look for a new line of work. Any newbies out there better take heed. There are greener pastures...trust me. Your pension will also be a lot less too...
Didn't the consent decree get way sided? Now the Politicians want to jump on the police? Only a foolish PO would continue to fight crime on these terms...blood has been running in the streets of Chicago and it will only continue until the community begins again to embrace the police.
Just say'n...
Borrowed from FB friend: I AGREE WITH KIM FOXX! She wants to require the State Appellate Prosecutor to review any case where the Cook County SA's office fails to seek criminal charges against a police officer. So there is always a second chance to charge a cop. I fully support this so long as they also review any case where criminal charges ARE filed against the police by CCSAO and drop the baseless, political ones. Can they also review all the post-conviction cases like the double murderer Kim just let go before she can free other killers? And how about any rejected charges for agg batt to police? I say if we're taking the politics out of the SA's office, great. Because I'm starting to feel a tiny bit of anti-public safety bias. Kim has taken the first step to try to pass a law to tell everyone she can't be trusted with her duty...I'm all in. Go Kim!
Here's an idea: Increase nonsensical missions in the districts. Some have more than a dozen per watch. Every car should be on a mission all tour and no calls answered. This way we all can be steadily on a do-nothing mission, remain beyond fetal and no one has to deal with the fox shenanigans. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the shitshow. 2016 will be seen as a low violence year compared to the future. Go fox!!
Stay safe and stay fetal. In the current atmosphere you have everything to lose and nothing to gain.
old retired guy

DUI, on or off-duty, is not in any way, shape or form, within the scope of your employment and duties. That's what killed that at the Appellate Court level.
That, and perhaps FOP went easy on it.

There is not a word of truth in that paragraph.
Isn't this somewhat like the law they passed to allow hearsay in the Drew Peterson case? Guilty or not they got a law passed to use for his conviction.
Technically, this is not double jeopardy. The double jeopardy rules bars a second prosecution on the same charge after an acquittal. But a decision not to prosecute is not an acquittal. And double jeopardy doesn't cover prosecution under different charges by a different jurisdiction. I.e., when Federal prosecutors went after the Klan for murders that either state authorities refused to prosecute or got sham acquittals from all-white juries.
This second-guessing can be abused especially when politics gets into it: e.g. the federal prosecution of the cops in the Rodney King case, after they had been acquitted by a state jury; or Jody Weis' railroad of Bill Cozzi on federal charges.
And (cup possibly half full) the proposed system would allow a State's Attorney to deflect political heat for a non-prosecution, sort of rope-a-doping the lynch mob.
Just A Civilian (who notes that friends as well enemies may need political cover)
If We have an Orlando Incident its going to show how unprepared We are.
Everyone take note of the two officers involved in the shooting of the female last week. She came to the hospital and they refused to talk to her. Very smart move by the officers. If you are injured in a shooting incident and she or another states attorney show up at the hospital or scene do not talk to them until you speak with an fop attorney. Forget also talking to a rep that shows up from fop. They are just pizza delivery men. When you call fop from now on request an attorney to show up. Time to even the playing field. Kevin please change this around. No more Farrell, Kato or Bella. Send an experienced attorney.Dangerous times for the police. If you start talking to the likes of her or her minions they will turn it around on you and try to jam you up.
It is amazing how the scum always ends up on top! Just like in the swamp.
Kim Foxx is a Cabrini Green ghetto rat who is going to look out for the vermin population of Sitcago. Just another nail in the coffin of freedom and living rat free.
OT-- Did anyone see this Gofundme? Is this the lady who shot the PO in 011?

I was a long time subscriber of the Tribune, 7 days a week. I found myself reading only about 1/3 of the paper because of all of the biased columnists, the anti-police, anti-white, and anti-conservative viewpoints to include the editorial section. I don't miss it. I read the WSJ daily. What I do miss is John Kass, the only unbiased writer at that paper. I dropped the Sun-Times many years ago, when Royko died. Never trust a newsman, never.
