Caught Red Handed

By the media no less:

• Already under investigation for the on-duty shooting of his partner Krystal Rivera, Chicago Police Officer Carlos Baker may have misrepresented himself and violated department policy in the aftermath of a bar fight in Wicker Park last weekend. Baker is being investigated by the Chicago Office of Police Accountability after police were called to DSTRKT Bar and Grill on North Milwaukee Ave. around 11 p.m. Sunday where a 29-year-old woman, also an off-duty police officer, alleged she was attacked by multiple people including fellow officer Baker.

  While reporting on the initial incident, CBS News Chicago learned from an employee at a neighboring business that Baker called their shop, identified himself as a police officer investigating the bar fight — in which he is actually listed as a suspect — and asked for access to the surveillance cameras.

  The employee showed CBS News Chicago the business' caller ID, which showed Baker's last name and phone number and a time stamp, 3:01 p.m. Wednesday, as news was breaking about the bar fight.

  When a CBS News Chicago reporter called the number and left a voicemail, she promptly received a call back by a man who identified himself as Carlos Baker. He asked if "our restaurant" cameras are working and if they had video of the Sunday night incident.

  When told he was speaking to a reporter, Baker hung up. 

These aren't the actions of an innocent victim. 

These are the actions of a crooked asshole trying to cover his tracks. And it opens up another can of worms that Larritorious, IAD and the political structure is desperate to cover-up....but Baker kind of lit that entire effort on fire.

This is far beyond the pale....it is far past time to put him into a no-pay status, file appropriate administrative AND criminal charges, and move for Thirty Pending.
