Chicago PD

Chicago will pay a $3 million settlement to the family of a teenager shot and killed while fleeing police on a busy street, claiming he had a black object in his hand that made them fear for their lives.
The black object turned out to be an iPhone case.
And surveillance cameras do not show Cedric Chatman, 17, pointing the object at officers as he fled as police initially reported, although the videos are grainy.

Chicago police officer Jaeho Jung blew the whistle on officer misconduct within his department, including officers who fabricated reports and faked radio communications.
His supervisors responded by retaliating against him.
Now the 10-year veteran has filed a lawsuit against the Chicago Police Department .

“Put the phone DOWN!” yelled the plainclothes Chicago cop at a witness, after stomping on Shaquille O’Neal’s head while another officer wrestled with him on the ground, and lay atop of him.
A one minute video of the incident was posted Monday by a bystander who recorded it on his cell phone, which you can see below.
Now, an undercover Chicago cop has been relieved of his duties after being caught on video kicking the defenseless O’Neal’s head into the pavement.

A video has emerged, showing the circumstances of the most recent Chicago police killing.
This past Monday night, a new victim emerged, and so did a new video showing that 16-year old Pierre Loury died on the other side of the fence from the police foot pursuit which led to his demise.
Chicago police have shot five citizens and killed three already this year.
Generally speaking, police in America aren’t allowed to even shoot a known felon fleeing, unless it’s clear that he presents an immediate danger to the officer’s safety or the community.

Gun in shootout, in which three officers from the Chicago PD were wounded, has been traced to a surprising source.

A Chicago cop fired his gun into a purple Chrysler PT Cruiser, killing the car, and resulting in his felony arrest.
After hearing gunshots, Ediberto Diaz was observed by two cops at the Village of Melrose Park – a suburb in Cook County – walking quickly to his red pickup truck and attempting to drive away when the officers made an investigatory stop.
The report – seen below – said Diaz, “smelled of a strong odor of alcoholic beverage.”
Miraculously, driving away from the scene of a crime while drunk did not cause the Melrose Park officers to charge Diaz with a DUI.

The Chicago police officer who shot and killed a teenager wielding a baseball bat along with an innocent bystander last month plans to sue the teen’s estate because of the emotional distress he has suffered since killing them both.
Robert Rialmo, who has been on the force for three years, said he was in fear for his life when he killed Quintonio LeGrier the day after Christmas.

Chicago police will have to disclose their secret use of "Stingray" cellphone surveillance devices.

Adding to tensions that have reached a boiling point in the Windy City, Chicago police admitted they “accidentally” shot and killed a 55-year-old woman while trying to kill a 19-year-old man early Saturday morning.
But police expressed their “deepest condolences” to the family of Bettie Jones, explaining they had to kill Quintonio LeGrier because he had come charging at them with a baseball bat, making them fear for their lives.
And she just happened to be in the way.

Responding to a domestic violence call about about a teenage man threatening to hurt his father with a baseball bat, Chicago police arrived and shot a middle-aged woman dead after she opened the door to let them inside.
Then they shot the teenager dead.
Neither one of them was armed with a gun.
Chicago police offered scarce details other than telling the media they arrived at the building and “were confronted by a combative individual, resulting in an officer firing shots, fatally wounding two individiuals.”
