Good Question (UPDATE)

As usual, some sharp readers noted this:
  • Um, how was Ch 2 able to FOIA the body cam tape of this guy when we were told that only Bobby Rush could approve the release of his tape when he accused the CPD of racial profiling?

    How about it Ch 2? Will you also FOIA Rush's tape?
We assume the reason is because Maldonado is a political threat to someone in power, so he must be kept in check and his ambitions must remain local. Rush is a washed up has-been whose constituency votes for him only out of habit and he has no ambition besides a peaceful expiration at some point instead of a hail of gunfire like so many of his compatriots.

But that doesn't mean an enterprising cop or their union couldn't FOIA the tape.

UPDATE: We guess someone did FOIA the tape and it was out in February. Here's a link to it.

We may have confused Rush's incident with the one in 010 a few years back where some political animal made all sorts of accusations, but we can't remember who that was and if it was just in-car camera instead of body cams.

Maldanado has pissed off pretty much everyone. Last straw for many was the Sun Times article that showed he made zoning changes happen so his wife could put up some fancy high priced homes near the 606 Trail.....all the while telling his constituents that he was "outraged" by the high real estate prices, rents and property taxes forcing middle class people out of the neighborhood while his family was cashing in BIG TIME.

I have been told the reason Channel 2 was able to FOIA the body cam footage was because Moldnado in all his stupidity demanded a CL investigation be initiated on the officers. When he did that, it became a matter of public record. I don't know if Rush was stupid enough to do the same

Sun Times headline about the OEMC dispatcher shooting:
"CPD dispatcher charged with shooting woman in road rage altercation"

She is referred to as a CPD dispatcher in the story also. Not until the last paragraph of the article does it state she is an OEMC employee. Nader Issa never misses an opportunity to bad mouth the police.

That Booby Rush stuff was swept under quickly.
Was a big issue when he boasted to the media, yet the media buried the end result.
Typical.
Political animal, perfect term for the representative of the constituency.
For the record, Mal Dope nado isn't interested in his Ward beyond grabbing up and declaring $1 vacant lots for his investment partners.

Recently there was a city supervisor that made mention in a city email that folks are acting like wild animals.
I guess he's now in hot water and will be launched, if not already.

There's no respect, no decorum, no professionalism coming from unhinged Democrats, elected or otherwise.
Everybody is a community activist and against The Fuzz all over again.
Fight the power is back.

The word was that Bobby Rush turned informant and
gave up the safe house on West Monroe that his fellow
Panthers were hiding out at...

A few old timers related that on various occasions they
had hands on ol' Bobby or had him/his compatriots
squared, level and centered in their gun sights on a
few occasions down on 16th St. in the early days of
him doing the fool.

"...The Police showed up and he ran like a little bitch"
seemed to be a common epithet used regarding Mistuh
"Ministuh of De Fence."

Yeah... Ol' Bobby has been cramming for his "final"
and has hope of blissfully slipping away to gentle
music and sweet incense and perfumes instead of
the screams, pain, gunfire and the smell of his own
terror induced shit filling his nostrils.

Ask an old Fillmore/Marquette/Monroe Copper
who went eyeball-to-eyeball with Bobby Rush
and his evil litter mates.

They'll tell you...

The police on scene were patient and professional, despite the continued harassment and attempt to goat them into, 'conduct unbecoming.'

Perhaps they could have avoided the 'long drawn out' attempt by Maldonato to entrap them into unprofessional behavior by stating...

"Sir, despite your repeated DEMANDS, we cannot give you any preferential treatment at an active crime scene merely because you indicate that you are a Chicago Alderman.
We can only EXPLAIN this to you. We can't COMPREHEND it for you."

High level meetings at City Hall this week about absorbing and arming Aviation Officers into CPD due to the terrible turnouts for CPD test. Rahm is terrified the Van Dyke Trial could burn city down and needs bodies fast. Look for some type of fast track training and right to the streets by Nov. The current unit will be disbanded and the roughly 200 full time bodies dispersed to either downtown or hotspots and Aviation part timers rehired on with private security contractor.050,051 will get some help by bid but lots of questions still to be answered just why is the Aviation budget so high. Rahm wants more bang for his buck at airports and cannon fodder for the riots.

My friend a REGULAR citizen tried to FOIA Alderthief Maldo-scum tape.

More than a few years ago I had a call of a disturbance with a garbage picker in an alley. Old guy with tattoos was going through the carts looking for cans. I did a name check and he came back with a gang caution, armed, dangerous etc... he was a top el rukin leader. I told him that he should be at least an alderman with his leadership background. He said that he was young, stupid and did his time. He was more a gentleman than the now reverend congressman that he ran with...

Watch for the aldergumps to fight back
by passing an ordinance forbidding
Policemen from having their cameras
activated in their presence...

"Y'all interfering with us doin' our aldermanic
duty an' shit!"

Just watch...

Or...

"Officer, is your camera on?
If it is, turn it off so I can demean
and belittle you with no worry
of any fall-out."

Because "making false claims" isn't a crime. Please tell me you're not the police.

Rush might be washed up, but he got rich during his time in elective office, not counting starting a ministry in order to get tax benefits and paying his wife 100 grand a year as an "aid".
