Hits Keep Coming

Oversight seems non-existent for the connected:

• The Chicago cop who city officials say unintentionally shot and killed his partner during a foot pursuit last summer had previously told his bosses that he “inadvertently” fired his Taser after a high-speed car chase he failed to initially report a year earlier.

  The car chase ended when the driver of a fleeing Jeep hit the train crossing at 89th Street so fast that it flew into the air and then crashed into six cars, according to records obtained by Illinois Answers Project and the Chicago Sun-Times. No one was seriously injured.

This ended up being a momentary hiccup on the path to a Tact spot, stymied but then approved by Heiniken after two recommendations from Tate.

We've got nothing left to say about this walking disaster, but the Department is going to be painted with this failure for years.
