He told the Chicago Tribune that his client had completed a substance abuse treatment program and had never been disciplined since joining the police department in 1994.We discussed this "Only One" yesterday as we watched him manfully beat a woman less than half his size into the floor, as other disarmed Chicago men manfully stayed out of it and let it happen.
Now we find this:
Authorities are investigating whether anyone tried to bribe or threaten a bartender to dissuade her from pressing charges against an off-duty police officer accused of beating her in an attack caught on camera, police said Thursday...
The state's attorney's office and internal police investigators are looking into claims that Abbate and at least one other person threatened Obrycka, as well as the owner of the bar, Bond said.
The threats included telling the bar owner that illegal drugs could be planted on the premises and that Jesse's Short Stop customers would be harassed, according to Obrycka's attorney, Terry Ekl.
One can only wonder why the "authorized journalists" are evidently content to let the "authorities" do the investigating.
After all, these are the same authorities who evidently didn't cuff the animal when they took him into custody. Professional courtesy, you know.
And as for never being disciplined, that's hard to do when you give the guy a pass on a DUI. Oh, and then there's this gem. It appears this animal was "named in a federal lawsuit for beating a man under arrest in 1999. The man later died."
But he was never disciplined.
Does anybody really think he would have been "disciplined" this time if there hadn't been a camera on the premises?
When are idiot Chicagoans who provide the fuel for the tyrannical Daley machine going to wake up? And when are Illinois gun owners going to send a line in the sand message to Springfield, telling them in no uncertain terms that Chicago disarmament will not be tolerated outside of Cook county?
