Smoke, Fire?

This was all over the comments over the weekend:

• Joseph Vecchio racked up more complaints than any other officer in his six years on the Chicago Police Department, many of them stemming from his work on a tactical team that’s developed a notorious reputation.

  Vecchio was stripped of his policing powers late last year after the city’s police oversight boss told Supt. Larry Snelling about the “concerning number of complaints” he faced.

  He had been the subject of 76 investigations since he joined the department in October 2019, wrote LaKenya White, the interim chief administrator of the Civilian Office of Police Accountability. At the time, he faced allegations of domestic abuse, civil rights violations and providing false statements about traffic stops involving guns.

And whose name is all over this budding scandal?

• Barz

Seventy-six complaints in six years. Fifteen lawsuits. Settlements already in the six digit totals.

What can we say that hasn't been said already?
