Surprise Settlement

  • Chicago taxpayers will pay $2.25 million to an unarmed, developmentally disabled man shot by a Chicago Police sergeant in 2017.

    Five months after the Chicago Police Board authorized a six-month suspension for Sgt. Khalil Muhammad, the City Council’s Finance Committee will be asked next week to authorize the settlement for Ricardo Hayes.
The City got off light on that one, as did taxpayers. When you're connected to Calypso Louie and you spend months hiding in Barb West's office after being caught lying in direct contradiction to video tape and only get 180 days suspension, blasting a mentally disabled kid is completely an inbounds-play.

No, we're talking about this one near the bottom of the article:
  • The $2.25 million settlement is one of two on the Finance Committee agenda tied to allegations of police wrongdoing.

    The other one, for $300,000, goes to Pierre Green, who spent four years in prison for possession of a stolen vehicle and felony possession of a firearm after a conviction, he claims, was based on evidence “fabricated” by Chicago Police. In 2013, the charges against Green were dismissed.
Pierre was pulled over when Officers misheard the license plate information given over the air in a flash message. Misheard. A mistake as simple as any other human being makes on a regular basis.

Never mind that the car was actually stolen. And Pierre is a convicted felon, not allowed to be in possession of a gun. The judge said there was no Probable Cause, not even considering the officers were operating in good faith, and Pierre was an armed felon in a hot car.

To their credit the following 16 aldermen voted "No" on the settlement:
  • Dowell, Mitchell, Beale, Lopez, Quinn, Moore, Curtis, Tabares, Reboyras, Cardona, Sposato, Nurgent, Napolitano, Reilly, Gardiner, Sivlverstein.
The other 33 alderassholes voted to give away $300,000 in taxpayer to a multiple convicted felon. No idea who the missing vote was.

Sgt. K.M. really got off light on this one. He essentially committed an aggravated battery with a handgun when he shot this unarmed mentally disabled kid and was able to avoid being arrested. He was never indicted and the case was never even presented to a grand jury. He was able to avoid the embarrassment of having to be arrested, jailed, posting bond, and having to face the "trial by media," and then ultimately losing his job and freedom, that JVD was forced to endure. K.M. still has a job and is getting paid while JVD sits in a federal prison. To anyone who believes that there isn't a double standard when it comes to police shootings is lying to themselves. Look at the most recent one on the CTA with the officers who shot the unarmed white guy. It was almost immediately swept under the rug by the media. Does anyone expect there to be an indictment by Kim Foxx's office?

The term for crooked lawyers (leeches) was changed from ambulance chasers to police chasers in Chicago years ago. The politicians in chicago are in bed with the big law offices that sue the police. In fact check out how many previous employees of L & L are now working in the city law dept. (talk about the wolf in the hen coup)

The media obviously was told to let it slide because he’s connected if anybody else did it without the connections he has they would’ve been terminated and prosecuted which would be well deserved! This is a drive-by shooting no question about it to a handicapped child. As the mantra is constantly what about the children what about him I guess it’s OK for connected people like this to shoot the kid right?

1. Another excellent example for everyone to rethink aggressive patrol operations. Nothing new hear as its been mentioned multiple times on the blog. Point being the 33 Aldercreatures are cheap and easy pickings for the midget. Spending tax payer monies on que from the numb nuts mayor and Shitty lawyers is what they do best. Spending tax money not their money. Don't be a useful idiot for them. The shit storm is between Groot and her potential victims. Grab a soda and some popcorn and enjoy the shit show.

2. Clout rules the Dept and is sanctioned by the mayor. Destruction and continued weakening of police operations is her goal.

3. Brownie was brought in because he's weak and on command will bend over the couch and get reamed with a strap-on.

4. The mutant mayor continues "sabre rattling" and tells us "she's hard at work" with her "team" trying to protect us - the children that we are. Dear mutant mother is looking out for us Chicagoans. How in the world did we ever survive without Groot's motherly guiding words. madam mayor eat shit.

5. She's concerned about the high China Virus Comorbidity casualties in the Black and LatinX community. Conveniently, she forgets the Black and LatinX bullet ridden bodies sprawled out across the south and west sides.

6. If only the mutant would a little spend time worrying about protecting us from being part of the nearly 200 murder victims and the 1000 shooting victims in 5 months. Dear mutant mother please tell us what you plan to do with Dude, Inc. Be sure to be clear and transparent. We're waiting.
