Martin Preib Article
A good piece about how Crimesha refused to prosecute Officer Lewis's killers, how the media aided and abetted this travesty, and some pointed questions about why the current States Attorney refuses to correct this miscarriage of justice.
We can't really isolate a paragraph or two to get the gist of the story - Marty's writing style doesn't lend itself to a quick summary. Everything is interconnected, but always an easy read and follows to a logical conclusion.

Everyone of his articles has been spot on.
I've been retired a long time, I remember he was with FOP, is he still there?
Screw everyone at the CCSAO. They allowed this happen and did nothing. Burn in hell.
Democrat’s racked a once nice place to live.
Thing is, nothing has changed in court with the current SA. They say felonies are being approved 40% more but for what? And what’s happening with them? I just got into a battle with felony review the other day because drunk idiot was on his 4th DUI with a suspended d/l for DUI. Despite reading him the statute, guy outright refused to upgrade it. Misdemeanor court is continuance after continuance until Victim’s get fed up with showing up and the case gets dropped. 99% of traffic court is dropped minus insurance tickets. That’s it. What has changed with this SA exactly?
ghetto crimesha
If I didn’t get a pay raise in over 4 years, I wouldn’t be in no hurry to help anyone
As a PO Martin Prieb was an absolute goof. Always complaining about something. Never happy. Good writer though.
I don't believe he is. PRIEB is very smart, knowledgeable but seems to not play well with others from what I'm aware of !
Maybe that’s what this department needs more goofs or do have enough already?
Ya know, the changes don't just happen overnight ! The SAs office still has plenty of the former regime hanging around ! They can't just fire them, then they'll be eligible for unemployment comp. !
As a writer, he’s all over the place. He never seems to be able to rein in his thoughts and facts and present them in a cohesive manner. He needs a good editor.
Its not about being the police .. its about being the "poolice". This new generation only cares about looking cool and driving an unmarked .. just look at their hair cuts gezzz. Biggest clown show in the history of policing.
They are still looking people for crimes from a policing concept thats 4 decades old.. for crimes that used to be the n focus of combating crime where States attorneys just to actually hold people accountable for ... where you could actually house a person over night for which would reduce the shootings and robberies. Just look at how tac guys used to dress in the 90s... collared shirts and a clean pair of jeans still looking professional.
Now everyone looks either sloppy or like a gang banger.. put shit, you get shit out.
Was/is there not always something to complain about?
If I remember correctly one of the offenders was wanted in a homicide that occurred where he rammed a car causing a homicide.
Tell them like it is Marty.

All the courageous little anonymous commentators. Martin Preib
002 "cop" who was In car with PO Rivera when he was killed led CCSP on a chase near Lalapalooza sun night after being boxed in in his Camaro still fled almost hitting officers . No news of his DUI charge . Sounds like the night the PO was killed this guy was on the usual bs
English much?
I did not know Marty when he was on the Job. However, I saw how he worked as the VP of the FOP. Marty worked non-stop. I can tell you in no uncertainly, that no one and I mean no one, has worked harder to undo the damage done to this department and the city than Marty has in the Wrongful Conviction Movement. He single handily forced the then Cook County States Attorney, Anita Alverez, to investigate Northwestern's University's Involvement and/or actions in the Wrongful Conviction movement. This is especially true in Northwestern's activities surrounding their investigation of the Anthony Porter 's Murder case. His writings on this subject have caused many people to reexamine their position on the wrongful conviction movement. What people don't realize is Marty's efforts in opposing the formation of the Illinois Torture Commission. Marty was manly alone in lobbying against this unconstitutional commission. Almost everything he said of the evils of this commission has come through. A great example of this is the recent awarding of millions of dollars to Jackie Wilson, who was convicted twice in the murders of two Chicago Police Officers. (Fahey and O'Brien) Is Marty opinionated? Yes, he is. Can he be brash? Yes, he can. However, one cannot find a better friend than Marty and I thank the Good Lord that I can call Marty my friend.
Beards and tattoos look like gangster wannabe shit.
Nails, hairdids and jewelry looks like shit.
Add to that the never ending uniform debacle as most look like-you guessed it________!
Larry, thought you were gonna do something about that?
Got to hand it to ISP-they got their shit together, appearance wise that is.
CCSAO will do nothing as it would confirm corruption under the Kimmy fool.
I second this! I met marty 23 years ago and if I ever needed anything he would be the first to help. Fantastic guy. Those of us that are lucky enough to have him as a friend know what a truly great guy he is. Nobody better to go have lunch, dinner or drink with. Incredibly interesting guy that’s led an amazing life. Keep up the good work marty!
The head of felony review should have been the first one out the door. Until she is gone the relationship will never get better
i've been gone for a long time, but couldn't you call the Deputy for an override?
Ooooo dissing Preibs writing style? Oh please. Marty complains about shitbirds getting away with murder, our corrupt judicial system and true crime that effects us daily. The editor comment shows what a petty little bitch you are.
All true!! Kevin was afraid of him and tried to silence him.
thanks MP for all you do - keep it up you are doing God's work
This makes no sense. Please clarify.
Very nice of you to recognize Martin with positive and complimentary comments. Rarely done now in this crazy world.
Thanks, Sarge.
Thank you Marty
To 8/08/2025 12:26:25 AM: I agree with the poster’s assessment. Marty is often hard to follow. Come to think of it, so is Sohnke.
