Cop Sues SeeBS
Specifically, drunk and child endanger-er Savini:
Chicago police officer Joseph Cappello IV, has filed a defamation lawsuit against CBS News Corp., Chicago television news reporter Dave Savini, and other associated defendants.
The lawsuit, which was filed Dec. 20 in Cook County Circuit Court, claims the defendants published and disseminated allegedly false statements accusing Cappello of professional misconduct, excessive force, and violations of protocol during a botched raid at a Chicago apartment in 2017.
Cappello claims the allegedly actionable reports published by the defendants allegedly followed their acquisition of video recorded testimony rendered by Cappello during a deposition as part of a lawsuit brought against the city of Chicago by the Mendez family, who were allegedly caught up in the alleged botched raid.
Looks like he's doing this on his own, meaning all out of his own pocket.
With recent seven-and-eight-figure settlements against other media outlets, we wish him all the luck in the world and hopefully some decent backing from other officers.

He's representing himself, acting as his own attorney. Besides that, read the history of this case. I'm not a news media fan, but this suit holds no merit.
Sue the everlasting shit out of all involved. Follow all the threads - anyone even loosely connected with the production or airing of the story needs to be named. Let them all feel the puckering of the sphincter...
Sounds like an attempt for the “ghetto lottery” may have backfired. I see a ton of depositions occurring. Good luck to the officer for bringing the suit.
Hope it costs him dearly.
Savini...he's been known to suck a big one.....

Perhaps some of the lawyers on the job can assist him pro bono...
Hopefully Dave Savini gets slammed with a punitive judgement and pays a hefty amount out of his own pocket. Dave is and always will be a real piece of shit.
Go get them!
There are no punitive damages in Cook County Civil Courts
I ashamed this asshole went to my old alma mater Weber HS
Good copper and good dude. Hope he gets enough to happily walk away from this job.
The Sgt from the naked lady search warrant is suing Newsweek and they are in big trouble because they’re trying to lowball a quick settlement. Pay up bitches.
Any deposition unless sealed by court is FOIA request available. He messed up by taking a crack head's inistuaous information and obliged for a warrant with no follow-up surveillance to corroborate or create a team safety plan and strategy for entry and exit??? Anyway, CBS lawyers will chuckle at this one, but at least he's trying to clean his name plastered and doxed all over the internet. Now go out there and get me more consent to search affidavits team players.Reminds me of the comment in the end of watch..."department has a big blue dildo, and they come from the back, watch your. 6".
Signed 19B.
Here’s that POS’ mugshot. Maybe we can get some t-shirts made up.

And whatever did happened with the story about the flight attendant alleging Savini sent a series of unwanted messages over the course of a year, including one asking if she wanted a “picture of his p - - - s?” Hope he had a short tele macro lens.
Not just a complete jagoff, but an all around creepy perv.
Lawyers will usually take a case on a contingency if they feel you have a winner.
Savini still butt hurt about the dui shoulda had a designated driver or better yet stay home if you are indulging in alcoholic beverages it’s cheaper
Knew Joe from 011 - great dude - Hope you get the win bud !
If this was the raid on the 3200 Block of West 32nd Place, The police tried to get in for about 30 minutes. The Owner watched from the window on the 2nd floor while the police banged on the door and pressed doorbells. The owner is a dog who had tenants that sold drugs from the second floor. He is also big on summer time fireworks. He should not get a dime. Vigilant neighbor.

Very confusing comment. First, there is no 3200 W 32nd place. Second, the owner watched from 2nd floor and is a dog? Woof! He also had tenants selling drugs from 2nd floor? So the owner lives with the drug dealers? Woof! Who shouldn't get a dime, the officer? Grrr! Woof woof!
Read the complaint. Capello “searched public records, but he was unable to tie the drug dealers to the Damen Avenue address.” Then he and his brilliant crew did no surveillance to independently verify John Doe’s info. Lazy and stupid.
Dear Woof Woof, my mistake. It was the 1200 block. Maybe you were there with Pedro and his wife flushing the goods down the toilet. Didn't intend to confuse you.
