Get Under That Bus!
- Attorneys for the Fraternal Order of Police are accusing Cook County prosecutors of failing to provide Chicago Police officers with equal protection under the law. In a letter to First Assistant State’s Attorney Joseph Magats, FOP attorney James Thompson assailed prosecutors for denying input of police officers in prosecutions in which officers have been injured. The prosecutors may be violating state law in doing so, the attorney alleges in the letter.
The letter, authorized by FOP Field Reps Bob Bartlett and Martin Preib and President Kevin Graham, taps into a sentiment among FOP members that the Cook County State’s Attorney administration under Kimberly Foxx cares more about criminals and their attorneys than police officers. The letter specifically addresses an incident in August of last year in which an officer was bit in the leg during a downtown demonstration called “Slut Walk.” The demonstrator, Lee Dewey, was accused of biting the officer. Dewey was charged with Aggravated Battery of a Police Officer, a felony.
Because of the bite, the officer was out of work for six weeks and ordered by doctors to take a concoction of medicines to prevent the possibility of an AIDS infection. The officer spent his time off simmering in anxiety. But a plea agreement was apparently worked out between prosecutors and Dewey. His charge was reduced to a municipal code violation: unlawful assembly.
The decision was made without the knowledge of the officer, the FOP claims in its letter. The officer stated he would never have approved of such a reduction in the charge. The failure of prosecutors to inform the officer and allow him input in the process violates the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Action (725 ILCS 120/1)...
Maybe this could be applied across the board since Kimmy and Prickwrinkle, Timmy and Tom don't want criminals behind bars. Why bother including the victim of any crime?

Two screws In my shoulder from some asshole. Never went further than pc court. Found out a year later he plead down. Fuck foxx
Absolutely appalling! I'm not surprised when Democrats are in charge. They have become the biggest cancer to society. There is zero law and order under their rule.
I can remember when the state dropped all the other charges in exchange for the aggravated battery conviction. Looks like its exactly the opposite now days.
I was just at 26/cal where they gave a guy probation for armed habitual criminal because he plead guilty to another charge and I guess they Nollied the armed habitual. Essentially probation for a class x felony that carries a maximum of 30 years in jail. Where I’m assuming the state/p.o was the victim. And had absolutely no say.
Talk about taking a bite out of crime...
Did anyone notice the newspaper articles regarding the double homicide near Fenwick High School and the two homicides that resulted with the offender being charged only with "concealing a homicidal death" that the State's Attorneys Office declined to state that CPD had asked for homicide charges and they declined to approve same.
The detectives are taking the heat for the progressives policies!
Treasure Island Foods is closing all of its stores. I spoke with a manager of one of the locations and he indicated one of the major problems was shoplifting. He indicated that the policy of catching and releasing thieves without penalty of law was ridiculous and cost the businesses a great deal.
You guys still don't understand. They were really serious about the too many people of color in jail and for to long. Will do anything to keep them out of jail. Your screwed. Whine all you want but my advise is find another job out of state and move. What have you got to loose, it will only get worse under next mayor. Life is very good out of the city.
Will officers now be giving a copy of this ILCS to all victims who require a case report?
I hope he didn’t get but by a Blue gummer.
Nothing new, this has been going on for years. I’ve had a few Agg Batt to Police where I was the victim. Two of them were pled to misdemeanors without my knowledge. Both instances were before Foxy lady took office. States attorneys office doesn’t care about us and never will.
Isnt there some kind of Association that the FOP can go to and file official complaints against the Cook County States Attorny's Office for not doing their jobs (following laws), properly prosecuting or even official misconduct?
Kimmy does not like the police.
If only we had a legit media outlet in this town, it'd be worth a phone call to get this travesty on the news so all the decent people can see what a sham the states attorney's office really is!
It's way past time for karma to bite back.
Felony if the officer was a CTA bus driver. Just saying...
Hey SCC, speaking of undercharging and backroom plea deals, any word on Chicago Tribune writer's daughter/spitter Penny Hawthorne case?
Demorat POS
2 individuals were arrested with a handgun in their vehicle in 010 after crashing into 5 cars at Roosevelt & Pulaski the other day. Officers cornered them at the intersection when the vehicle started crashing into pedestrians. One of them actually told officers the gun belonged to the other guy. The States Attorney would not approve the gun charge because officers could not definitively prove who the owner of the gun was. They walked!
"Justice" has absolutely N O T H I N G
to do with what's going on at the CCSA's
office or Cook County Courts...
The sole narrative is that the law and The Police
are racist because blacks as one third of the population
of Chicago, aren't being arrested at a rate equal to their
representative percentage of the population in Chicago...
Because the inmate population at Cook County Jail
isn't somehow deliberately skewed to be one third
black, one third white and one third hispanic, The
Police are racist and in need of reform and The Law,
Government and Society itself are deemed RACIST,
oppressive and illegitimate, thusly providing justification
for the vile anti-Police/anti-Public Safety narration and
the drive by the CCSA office to keep criminals of color
out of jail and free to be a continuing affliction upon
mostly civilized and law abiding society.
And The Police have been wholly nullified from
dealing with THEM in accordance with State Law
and their training.
So the Progressives are all aboard to pending
Consent Decree to CHANGE Police Training to
suit their narrative.
And their busily pushing a Chicago Progressive
for State's Attorney so that they can change
the Illinois Criminal Codes to give urban criminal
class safety from The Law and protection from
The Police and inversely make it far easier to
have Policemen cooked in the Progressive
social justice/Police Reformist jackpot...
"The Police are the problem,
once we fix THEM, everything
else will fall in place."
Cabrini Kim Foxx
IS getting "revenge against da witeman"
for her peoples an' folkses...
FLOP is useless
It's just so damn hard to punish criminals. I look at my kids, when they get punished (and the do) it is a whole lot of work to make sure they comply. It's a lot easier to just let them do what they want.
The city or county errs in the course of prosecution and it settles with these feral mutts.
Officer, you are entitled to seek a civil remedy.
File a suit and judgement against the each and every one of the politicians, the political activists, the handler including the dog, the owner of the building that houses the dog, the kennel or breeder that sold the dog, it’s vet and the companies that made the leash and the dog chow it eats and the stores that sold them.
FOP should begin to educate the membership about civil liability representation to go after these obnoxious activists and especially the elected who condone their lawless actions by allowing the feral to act out.
Send a copy to Sessions
How about the cop that was punched by Jamal green? Werent the charges dropped without officer's knowledge at that time also?
That p.o just won the lotteryyyy. Good for him.
As many have said on this board, the leftist "restorative justice" agenda of Foxxx/Bullwinkle/Dart et al. will convert criminals to heroes and cops to targets.
Prosecutors in Crook Co. now have a very easy job -- charge nothing unless it's a slam dunk and the suspects are acceptable to libs and leftists. Otherwise, dismiss or no charge as much as you can. Keep jails and prisons as empty as possible, and say you're doing it to save taxpayer dollars.
It's all coming true.
The only charges the states attorney pursues nowadays are the ones filed against the police. That's what happens when you elect SJWs in office.
Solution is to start suing the States Attorney's Office for equal protection under the law and Discrimination. Maybe the Feds could come in on the Discrimination Suit and start locking up these States Attorneys.
Be Safe out there.
Fractured elbow, guy had charges dismissed. Was on I.O.D. and never notified of a court date to appear. Anita Alvarez was ASA at the time. Refused to indict via a Grand Jury. This is nothing new.
Got into a gunfight with a jag a few years ago, he was hit, I was not. ASA under Alvarez did the exact same thing, dropped all the attempt murder and agg batt to the police charges and pled him out to agg discharge and uuw by a felon. They pled him to 10 years with 3 already served before his plea. He's already out. It's been going on a long time. Beside hating the police, they are elected and a conviction by any means is a win, no matter what the cost, and a stat to be touted during the election bid. Foxx and her ilk have taken it one level up and are very forthcoming about their desire to ensure all charges and any convictions to criminals are extremely limited and reduced whenever possible.
Let this bitch burn when the decision comes down. Let them take control their own communities.
2 individuals were arrested with a handgun in their vehicle in 010 after crashing into 5 cars at Roosevelt & Pulaski the other day. Officers cornered them at the intersection when the vehicle started crashing into pedestrians. One of them actually told officers the gun belonged to the other guy.

They didn't get off completely. I bet the driver will have their drivers license suspended and they won't be able to drive!!!!
Under a bus might be a very good place to be this week. Just make sure bus is not parked in any community areas. Fetal rules.
Thank you Martin Preib for always fighting for us. Without him we would have nothing. Keep up the good work Prieb.

The law is clear that one arrestees statements cannot be used against a co-arrestee for the purpose of charging. If the Police can’ t make the case, don’t blame the ASA’s.

If the shoplifter is caught, then the store is not out any merchandise and consequently not out any money. Therefore that managers assertion makes no semse.
Wanna know Why ? Communism is in Full Swing in Chicagoland, and the CPD is run by them and their hack puppets on the job. Only the beginning.
Vote Republican. Even that may not help. Could be a lost cause already.

1. Do you believe that items stolen and recovered are, therefore, not stolen items?
2. Do you believe that items, stolen and recovered, are always returned to inventory?
3. Do you believe that those caught stealing items are caught by non existent, non paid for, magical pixies? Who appear, magically, catch thieves, recover stolen items and, then, vanish, costing the business not a penny?
4. Do you believe that all thieves are caught stealing, all items thus stolen are recovered, no costs to business are incured and, thus, your ass insertions are valid?
5. Do you believe that no thieves will attempt to steal after, having attempted to steal and been released, these thieves are then not convinced that the only result of betting caught stealing is to be free to try again?
6. Get a fucking job, nimrod, get your first paycheck, cash it, and wave the cash in your hand, the one not glued up your ass, on the public way and see how long you will do this before some thief snatches cash out of your hand.
7. I trust you will, IF you can get anyone to hire you, do #6, since you have no sense.

Okay.
Default to summary executions.
It's the democrat way.

– Q: In what manner was the handgun recovered?
Don’t rely on rats ratting each other, it’s not 1982.
If you’re going to go to great lengths to respond to ghetto bs and play ghetto bs chase, catch and release, do it right.
Too many still quickly grabbing and handling the evidence and running in w/the feral mutts, prob calling the ASA themselves near checkoff.
Wait for the Area.
Make it a day, a tour, a little OT.
Sit on that scene ‘til the cows come home.
Wait for an ET do it or use gloves and send it off to be processed at the very least.
Heck, in 6-8 months you might get a hit on the prints or ballistic analysis, that’s good for a later stop with a felony misdemeanor.
- And yes, bet the driver didn’t have a D/L or seguros magnum to drive the car his cousin gave him, who borrowed it from some dude for $20 last night either.

Since you're probably not the police, I'll explain. The store only catches a small percentage of the actual shoplifters. Since the risk to reward is small and shoplifters know there will be no punishment for stealing, they continue.

If you know anything about the retail food business, any fresh food items that are found on a shoplifter must be tossed out and cannot be returned for sale. Most shoplifters in food stores take fresh meat or liquor ( which can be put back on shelf). But, most stores do not have security guards and suffer great losses.
Wait until Kwame Raoul gets in the end of policing in IL. The whole state will be under a consent decree!
AIDS? Was the cannibal HIV+? If so, pretty sure that's another felony.

Wrong. Most food is and cannot be put back on the shelf. Do you want to buy a steak or pork chops that have been stuffed down the front or back of the offenders pants, then put back on the shelf?
